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 CJ's Mom on November 30, 2010 at 7:32pm: You all are too funny! Gosh I am both sad and happy. First of all if Cj would not have been set back I would be going to PIR on THursday this week. But if he would not have been set back I wouldn't have met you all. Your a hoot!!!
AntiM I keep hearing the "Don't Tell" thing all over. Knowing my recruit he will want to change clothes... but personally I think he will enjoy showing off to people all over he is a sailor. ....

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 30, 2010 at 6:56pm: I think you have it covered well Cindy; yes Red for Red Fridays is good. The Pink Scarf is to identify N4Ms so if you want to be visible and recognize your virtual N4M friends you should wear the pink scarf! I'll have mine on. I may wear red too but my scarf will be on with my coat and I plan to wear at the meet and greet also.

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on November 30, 2010 at 6:38pm: I here ya Tysmom...YES you have it correct...no matter what division or ship...race color or creed :) PLEASE WEAR RED...for RED Fridays...to support the troops and our newest SAILORS :)!!! PASS THE WORD! Anyone have a suggestion where to post it so everyone can see this...I thought I did?! I did post it on the FB page as well for PIR Dec. 17th....AGain...I am a MOM ON A MISSION :)!

Comment by Maria Ship03Div21 on November 30, 2010 at 6:14pm: Thanks Betsy

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2010 at 6:00pm: I am definetely wearing a pink scarf and my husband is wearing a red sweater. :) The pink scarf is so we can recognize each other in the sea of people.

Comment by Maria Ship03Div21 on November 30, 2010 at 5:58pm: ok, please clarify ... are we wearing pink scarfs, or wearing red for PIR?

Comment by jfarm ship02div904 on November 30, 2010 at 5:56pm: Too funny, Anti M.

Comment by Anti M on November 30, 2010 at 5:31pm: I am a bad example.

Comment by Anti M on November 30, 2010 at 5:31pm: Cough cough. The en route was me. Yes, they are supposed to be in uniform for the entire trip. However, once you're a good distance away from the base... more than 20 miles, maybe 50... changing clothes is easy ... well, I've done it. Just DON'T TELL. Of course none of your fine new sailors would bend the rules... cough cough.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2010 at 4:48pm: New discussion, let's see what our recruits have missed while they were in BC. List your recruits requests in the discussion group.
