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 Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on November 11, 2010 at 1:14pm: ok...I changed my picture but I agree with Lou2! :)

Comment by Melh1215(ship 09,div 016) on November 11, 2010 at 12:59pm: Molly - here in Louisiana, in many of our family Thanksgiving and Christmas pictures, we're wearing shorts. So, none of us are real familiar with really cold weather. If it ever gets in the 20's here, we think we're gonna freeze to death. Yesterday I bought my nine year old a "real coat" to wear for PIR!

Which brings me to PIR --- I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

Comment by Lou2 on November 11, 2010 at 12:57pm: Now Lynne you know he was just concerned LOL Besides, it's our God-given duty to worry about our kids.
I couldn't figure out how to delete the picture, so I just replaced it with Nate's fuzzy-faced little sister.

Comment by Lynne on November 11, 2010 at 12:15pm: That first paycheck also has the $300.00 advance to the NEX taken out of it...so it really is pitiful...lol but it gets a little better...okay I am the cautionary person today...please consider taking your recruits first and/or last name out of your screen name and your recruit's picture off your screen pictures. Remember RDCs can and do read this site. You don't want to bring undo attention to your recruit...really..one mom in my PIR group didn't take my advice and found out her son was told my his wonderful RDC who meant this in a truly loving way I am sure..."your mommy was worrying about you today" so just saying....

Comment by redchaos(SHIP 09 DIV 010) on November 11, 2010 at 12:13pm: Reading these comments brings a tear to my eye. How blessed we are to have children/family members who have chosen to serve our country.

Comment by Lou2 on November 11, 2010 at 11:41am: I keep thinking that this time next year when our boys and girls are out in their uniforms, how people will be thanking them for serving. What an awsome thought!!!

Comment by Julie (AECF-ET) on November 11, 2010 at 11:37am: Happy Veterans Day to my "Navy Sisters in Waiting" :) I have so much more to be thankful for and proud of this Veterans Day.

Comment by Dorine - Shana's MA Mom on November 11, 2010 at 11:19am: Happy Veterans Day everyone!
