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 diannep on November 9, 2014 at 8:38am: Good Morning! Hope all have a good Sunday...and maybe get some calls this afternoon????

     "How priceless is Your unfailing love!

      Both high and low among men find refuge

      in the shadow of Your wings."

                                                    Psalm 36:7

Comment by diannep on November 8, 2014 at 3:46pm: Just a reminder for those who plan to fly to PIR and haven't booked tickets yet. Check out Southwest Airlines....they have no change fee if your SR is delayed (just a change in fare if there is one)....and 2 bags check for free! They fly into Milwaukee WI (45 min to GL, no traffic, cheaper car rental) and Chicago-Midway (hour+ to GL depending on traffic).

Comment by Debbie D [Tyler's Mom] on November 8, 2014 at 1:45pm: Thank you so much! Yay for me :-)

Comment by diannep on November 8, 2014 at 11:23am: YES, he will, Debbie D! Those with sailors staying in GL for A School have the best of both worlds since they get the extra time with their sailors. Your sailor will be moving over there with the group after PIR is over, then have Liberty with you until later that evening. Then, daytime Liberty on Sat/Sun....must return to A School base each night.

Good Morning!

Comment by Debbie D [Tyler's Mom] on November 8, 2014 at 10:47am: My son is staying in GL for A School. Will he be "OFF" on Sunday also. I wasn't going to leave until Monday.

Comment by CatMom509 on November 8, 2014 at 5:56am: Yep, Tabluckev, diannep is absolutely right!! We love to help all the loved ones to have a smooth experience at PIR!!

Comment by diannep on November 7, 2014 at 11:40pm: SkramTam: ktsmom is correct....it is best to fly out late Sat. or even Sunday if you can. Although most fly out on Sat., sometimes they don't until Sunday. They won''t know their flights/airports until right before PIR. They can fly out anytime during that day, but are bussed to the airports overnight to wait for flights. Most will fly out by late morning/early afternoon, but some may not fly out until later in the afternoon.

Comment by ktsmom96 on November 7, 2014 at 9:37pm: skramtam, if what I have read is correct, the airlines will give you passes to walk your SR, or Sailor by then, to the gate and wait with him. I would maybe try and have a later flight or the next day in the event he doesn't leave until Sunday or he leaves from midway and you are booked at Ohare. Just a thought.
