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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 12, 2010 at 9:06pm: Sean's Mom- sorry it took me so long to respond. Today was Phil's 50th birthday so we have been busy all day, playing in the snow and having a small family party with the kids. It is not too late to get ribbons. Just click on my name and it will take you to my page. On the left click on add as a friend and I will send you the info. Get all the info for the ribbons back to me asap and I should be able to get them in tomorrows mail.

Comment by npsailormom92(Ship03Div025) on December 12, 2010 at 8:49pm: Hope to find everyone fine. I have not been on for a while. Have not gotten anything from my boy for over a week. Has anyone heard from ship 03 div 025?

Comment by Suzanne on December 12, 2010 at 8:25pm: nanny2 - I talked to my son on Tuesday or Wednesday and he said that the problem that they were all worried about last Saturday was resolved. I received no specifics as to how, but you should know that all is well.

Comment by EDS - USS Ronald Reagan, Japan on December 12, 2010 at 8:20pm: I was really hoping to hear from my son this weekend but I guess I'll have to wait for another time or maybe a letter. :( I hope they are all doing well.

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on December 12, 2010 at 8:05pm: Hello Ladies! Well I was bummed because my son sent his letter this week to a friend...but I thought I would at least get to talk to him...however it is Sunday night and I haven't heard from him in over a week. I was just hoping to touch base with how things went this week...I was wondering how the gas chamber went...and I wanted just to give him encouragement for Battle Stations...oh well...has anyone else heard from Div 029?

I am getting so excited...the weather is making me crazy, but I have no control over that...I have to turn it over and pray that we will all get there safely.

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on December 12, 2010 at 7:16pm: nanny2....I will not be worried about the itinerary. If you send it your good. In the navy recruit training command in FB they said that they are going through hundreds but if you send it before Friday that was the deadline you don't have to worry, soon u will receive a confirmation. My son also is in this division and I receive a letter Wednesday dated the 5th and he said he is fine, a little sick but just looking forward to graduate, come home and sleep. I can wait...just after tonight 9 MORE DAYS!!! I hope to receive a letter this week.

Comment by nanny2 on December 12, 2010 at 6:37pm: Hi everyone! My son is on Ship 03 Div 031 has anyone heard from their recruits. My called last Sat, he was sick didn't know if it was because of that or because of the issue in their division. No letters this past week just wondering if anyone knew what was going on. He called last week because they hadn't received my travel plans so I emailed them again for the 3rd time but still don't have a confirmation. Should I be worried? Thanks

Comment by Kim of Virginia on December 12, 2010 at 5:13pm: Ladies, if you ordered your ribbons and thought you did not get them, please check your boxes that you may think were presents that you ordered for someone. LaLa Ribbon Queen just called me and guess what, my ribbons arrived Thursday and I had no clue I thought the postal service was slow................. and low and behold, a box that I thought was a gift I had purchased were actually my ribbons. THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFULLLLLLLLL.........La La RIbbon Queen's photo does not do her ribbons any justice..................... They are absolutely beautifulllllllll. I am so glad that you offer this service to us....................

Comment by walker12003 ship03 div028 on December 12, 2010 at 5:13pm: I have been decorating the house up and decided to put a tree in my daughters room. I decorated the tree with all navy decorations and it turned out pretty cute. She is going to be suprised when she see's what I did.

Comment by Sean'sMom (ship12 Div 029) on December 12, 2010 at 3:38pm: Lala Ribbon Queen: is it too late to order ribbons for PIR 12/22/10? We will be leaving LV on the 21st to head to IL
