OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by NC_Susan on December 10, 2010 at 12:23pm: So do you think they will let the kids watch the Army - Navy football game tomorrow? lol GO NAVY BEAT ARMY!!!!

Comment by TysMomKY on December 10, 2010 at 11:57am: Betsy, I will be happy to take care of that! :) Ladies....SIX days and a wake up and we'll be seeing our sailors! I know everyone is so excited! Please, please stay safe in your travels and pray for great weather and beautiful skies for us all!

Comment by Anti M on December 10, 2010 at 11:47am: @ Lala && Kate, they probably won't let him go to his sister's PIR. However, he should talk to his RDC to see if it would be possible. In this case, it can't hurt to ask.

I do know that if a sailor is over at A school and they have a sibling graduating over on RTC, they must submit c chit for permission to go over to that side of the base. They are kept very strictly separated, so special permission is required.

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 10, 2010 at 11:41am: Lala...he was made RCPO. He said his chief said that if he worked real hard and got all parts of his job down, he may be given the privilege. I hope I will get to see him. I see miss him, and yearn to see his smiling face ...going maaaaammmmmmmmm. Sweet young man, with lots of ambition. He said he had a few teeth taken out by the Navy and was going to be out for 3 days...we'll see.

Comment by evarosa on December 10, 2010 at 11:39am: First time I comment new to the page but I am so looking forward to seeing my daughter on the 17. Can;t wait to hug her and squeeze her jajajaja.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 10, 2010 at 11:36am: Kate, do you think they will let you see your son when you go to your daughters PIR? I hope so. They should let him see his sisters PIR don't ya think? But I am probably thinking like a mom, and not thinking like the Navy lol.

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 10, 2010 at 10:23am: My daughter graduates 2/17/2011, my son 01/14/2011.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 10, 2010 at 10:10am: Kate Do both of your kids graduate 12/17?

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 10, 2010 at 9:45am: It is friday - in 6 days we all will be traveling! In 7 days we can hug a kids and tell them well done!!

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 10, 2010 at 7:10am: If it is this cold here in South Florida, I cannot imagine what it is in Great Lakes. I also lived up North in Massachusetts, though I loved living in Western Massachusetts I do not miss it one bit. The only joy of going north is seeing my son and daughter who are both presently at GL, Bootcamp. Yes such great emotions getting those letters. I feel even more super connected to my son and daughter because I they are always on my mind. I can well imagine the parents who have not received letter since I was once that parent. No news is good news until you hear from them. They doing well...just all going through bootcamp procedures.
