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 G'sproudmom on December 1, 2010 at 4:04pm: Lala Ribbon Queen about the ribbons your making...what do they look like and how much, where do i send in order. This is the first i have heard about it.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 1, 2010 at 3:04pm: Good Afternoon everyone. I hope you are all having a great day. I am missing my sailor so much today. It is her 21st birthday. I was able to call a local bakery in VA and order her a birthday cake :-) Wish I could share it with her. I have been working on the PIR ribbons for all of you who have ordered them. They will be mailed early next week. If you have not sent your order or your payment please do so soon. Thanks

Comment by maggie (ship03 Div.027) on December 1, 2010 at 2:20pm: I received a letter from my son yesterday telling me to e-mail his itinerary/E-ticket to the e-mail I had already sent it to. He said it had to be in by Dec. 10th. I guess I'll send a copy in the mail to him as well. I have only received three phone calls since he has been gone.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 1, 2010 at 1:55pm: I found the best website today. I was browsing for some Christmas gifts and came across CafePress.com. I was able to order a Christmas ornament with logo and name of the submarine that my daughter's bf is on and a couple of Navy cute t-shirts for my grandchildren, that say "My Uncle is in the Navy" for A to give them for Christmas.

I have no association with the website, but just wanted to share it.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 1, 2010 at 1:34pm: LOL.. J wrote in his letter

" On my dog tag they list the my blood type. A positive. However it is abbreviated. So on my dog tags issued by the Navy: It says " A POS" I'm a piece of shit=) Thats what the Navy thinks of me. It's one of the few laughs I've had here"

Comment by walker12003 ship03 div028 on December 1, 2010 at 12:48pm: Sorry it should have said her lol

Comment by walker12003 ship03 div028 on December 1, 2010 at 12:38pm: Ok I printed here everything and stuck it in the mail.
Just want to say a big thanks to PROUDMOM and all the moms on here that offer advice and calming words.

Comment by diannep on December 1, 2010 at 12:34pm: Don't worry, walker. Just do as I told proudmom...cover all bases....mail the itinerary and tell your recruit in a phone call when you get one.

Comment by walker12003 ship03 div028 on December 1, 2010 at 12:31pm: On no I emailed them last night to that office because I had sent an email and was told yes to email my itineray there.

Comment by diannep on December 1, 2010 at 12:29pm: proudmom: Did you mail the itinerary in a letter to your recruit? And when he calls, you can give it to him. I know it is frustrating but they really like for the recruits to take responsibility in finding out the info....geez, I know that's hard with little contact....but you have some time here.
