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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 6, 2010 at 7:47pm: Oh My! Wow!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 6, 2010 at 7:45pm: I just hear on the news that Later this week Great Lakes will be measuring snow in feet not inches. it's a good thing there is no PIR this week. :-)

Comment by Aim on December 6, 2010 at 7:07pm: I cant keepup with the frums here, i got a letter from Ryan on SAt. He said he failed zone inspection, but was not sent back, i dont get it he has been getting perfect scores until this 1 thing :( I am waiting to print my pass, i have enough paperwork all over my house and i dont need it yet. all my reservations are made. i am saying at the Ramada. I have a rental car for 4 days.

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 6, 2010 at 6:25pm: Love Penny's grounding thought!! I printed my Gate Pass! Just arrived in Pennsylvania and checking in before my work dinner. Freezing and Windy - unbelieveably cold. Brrrrrrrr No snow though.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 6, 2010 at 6:04pm: Penny, that's so true! Just think of all the money we are saving the government by bringing them home for awhile. They won't have to feed or house them until they have to report to A school. :)

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 6, 2010 at 5:10pm: Okay Tys Mom I thought I was anal about things. Don't worry honey they will not keep your son any longer than they need to. After 8 weeks I am sure they want to give them ALL back to us crazy moms!!!
I hate driving on ice... Snow I can handle.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 6, 2010 at 3:35pm: Tysmom, that is funny about the paperwork!

Comment by TysMomKY on December 6, 2010 at 3:31pm: I just spoke with them and was told I could print it anytime. That it will be available through the graduation date. Yeah! I'll be sure to bring it with me tomorrow! My goodness, I have printed so many copies...and extra copies of everything that it's going to take a U-Haul tow behind our vehicle to get through graduation! But I'm not complaining...as long as it gets my Ty home then I'm in! Thanks, girls! P.S. - they have 3" of snow on the ground there. Heck that is what we have in Kentucky so I'm not stressing! lol

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 6, 2010 at 3:24pm: You can print it anytime, doesn't have to be today. When you print it make extra copies just in case you loose one.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 6, 2010 at 3:22pm: Tysmom, I'm not sure if it's the same, but I would call PAO and ask them. The number is 847-688-2405. I'm not sure you can sign in and get the pass twice, so I would call there.
