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."

I know. I am so upset about this. And I could kick myself for not bringing it to work with me. I have to wait till tomorrow before I could call. I hope this is not true or at least will not reflect on PIR for us....

OMG WHAT!?!?!?!? :-(
Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 6, 2010 at 12:10pm
BTW, I recieved a letter in the mail Friday from the Navy ensuring that our children are doing thier best and we should be proud. It also stated that due to heighten security, guest might not be allowed on the base to attend PIR and that we should call before making travel arrangements. Please let this not be true. I can't imagine not being able to attend PIR. I unfortuantely left the letter home so I will have to wait till tomorrow to call. Did anyone else recieve this letter?

Comment by DawnMomOfSR Ship 02-Div 909 on December 6, 2010 at 10:50am
Lynne, Thanks for beating that horse. I joined back in March and never looked at my privacy settings, but I just marked them to friends only! Changed my pic too. I would feel horrible to learn that something I may say here innocently could bring grief to my SR!
Cat - I am so sorry you (and others) don't have letters yet. At least if it seems his Div has not received letters yet it may be something other than you mailman! LOL I've been told they can write on Sundays and many of us got letters last Tuesday through Thursday... so here's to your mailbox dance this week!!!!
I can't seem to keep up with all the posts, names, etc. but do look forward to meeting all of you at the Ramada on January 21st!
Comment by Ellen B on December 6, 2010 at 10:42am
Good morning, everyone... It's snowing here today. Hope you're all keeping warm. Cat-I do hope there's a letter waiting for you when you get home today! The same to all who haven't heard from their SR yet..hang in there:)
