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 DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on December 3, 2010 at 6:10pm: Bradsfanclub, I really believe will be next to get ours. Lets keep the faith.....

Comment by bradsfanclub on December 3, 2010 at 5:28pm: no letters here either.. :( What are we going to do w/ this mail system? I think all the mailpersons are reading our discussions and holding on to our letters.. It's a plot to drive us crazy... Lol Just kidding, i'm sure our sailors are just busy learning all they can... Congrad Lorenza... maybe ours is getting close

Comment by Lorenza- Ship 07, Div 050 on December 3, 2010 at 5:07pm: I'm so happy today, because we have some news from my beloved son.

Comment by DebBon / Ship7 Div 052 on December 3, 2010 at 3:55pm: No letter for me today either =o( I'm really sad. Thought for sure it would have been today. The mailman has to bring something soon.......

Comment by bradsfanclub on December 3, 2010 at 3:24pm: ohhh.. getting letters w/ a PIR after us... that is not cool....:) That mailman is sooo pushing his luck. Cat- my daughter is doing good.. better but they had a girl in her class get in a car accident and broke her back. A great athlete and now will never walk again... So between missing her BF and the stress of this at school, this week is a bigger struggle.. A letter would be GREAT for her.. and us of coarse.. just want to know they are doing ok! fingers crossed for us or the mailman may not be happy! lol

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on December 3, 2010 at 2:31pm: Same here. And opt for comfy shoes. I think we have a wait in line and a nice walk to the actual PIR spot.

Comment by Ellen B on December 3, 2010 at 2:21pm: same here-casual nice & warm, for sure!!!

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 3, 2010 at 2:16pm: Ok...because of TSA and baggage restrictions I plan on "casual nice." Slacks and a sweater, maybe. Something I can fold up in a carry-on.

Comment by Ellen B on December 3, 2010 at 2:13pm: Looking at some of the past PIR's pics, it doesn't look like people in the audience are dressed a certain way...

Comment by Gina - Ship 07, Div. 050 on December 3, 2010 at 2:09pm: Does anybody know whether there is a dress code for the civilians at PIR? I'm currently trying to get money and such together to make this adventure. Not sure if I should buy something new to wear or not? As it is I'll have to show up with my big fake fur coat (only worn in Las Vegas) because it's the only coat I have that will handle Chicago in January.
