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 CatMom509 on November 12, 2014 at 4:23am: Just putting this idea out there for your group. It is totally voluntary. Some of our past PIR groups have gotten together and put together State themed gift baskets/boxes/bags or really, any great idea would work, to be raffled off at Sarge's Meet & Greet on the Thursday evening before PIR. This is great fun and would help offset the costs of Sarge and his wife as they do these meet and greets every week to help our Navy families. If someone would like to start a Basket Project for this group, please let me know and we can start a discussion up in the Discussion Forum for the ladies here to pop into to express their interest~~ Thank you~

Comment by diannep on November 12, 2014 at 12:02am: Oh my, Lala. I'm so sorry....I wish I had an answer to your question....but there seems to be alot of "BAD" out there now....I hope they find it....and not stripped or wrecked....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 11, 2014 at 11:57pm: My son's car was stolen and he only had liability insurance. Why are some people so bad?

Comment by diannep on November 11, 2014 at 5:47pm: Ok, someone sent me a friend request asking about an page about Great Lakes and the ships.....when I hit ACCEPT, it wouldn't let me go to her page to reply and I didn't notice the name, didn't know the PIR group. If anyone on here sent that to me, please post here. So sorry about that! I have no way to private message you!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 11, 2014 at 12:35pm: I would like to take this time to thank all of our Veterans and service members currently serving our country and protecting our freedom. I am so proud to call myself a Navy Mom and to know so many military families. Each one of you hold a special place in my heart. Thank you so much for your family members who serve our country and protect us every day. And, thank you for supporting them and for being here to support each other. We are all family now! God Bless you all <3

Comment by ktsmom96 on November 11, 2014 at 11:53am: Yes Diannep, I put the postcards in envelopes. I actually went to an Eagle Court of one of my son's friends and troop mates last weekend. I took a stack of post cards and let anyone who wanted to write him a note do so. Now, I am just including them in my letters to him:)
