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."

Congrats on the letters. Woohoo!

Donna, I'm glad that you heard from your new bff. lol

We now have news from 2 different recruits in Ship 04, Div. 020 that their BS21 will start Monday night, so we will go with that. Ladies, you should expect that all important phone call on Tuesday. Yippee!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 9, 2010 at 12:00am: Glad everyone likes the ribbons. They look much better in person don't ya think? Okay, I am off to bed now. Good night everyone.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 8, 2010 at 11:59pm: When they get the I'm a sailor call they usually get close to an hour and they can call as many as they want to in that time. My sailor called 5 people lol. Of course that meant I got less time but she called me first and called me back after she called her dad. Bf, and grandparents. There were a bunch of people doing happy dances that day lol.

Comment by NC_Susan on December 8, 2010 at 11:54pm: I think it's just 1 call.

Comment by Katherine Ship 3 Div. 024 on December 8, 2010 at 11:46pm: Battle Stations should be next Tuesday, and we will get the call that they are officially Sailors next Wednesday, that was at least how it went for the last PIR group.

Comment by kathy on December 8, 2010 at 11:42pm: So glad to hear that you got a confirmation, Marylandmom. That will ease your mind a bit. I spoke with my brother today and he is definitely going to my son's graduation. He will be wearing red, too. I told that was the plan. I hope I get the chance to talk to my son before PIR, but maybe not? He needs to add his uncle to visitors list. I did put that in a letter a week ago. I am still trying to come up with a gift for graduation. I was thinking about small silver st christopher medal. I found a Navy version online.
