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 3, 2010 at 6:40pm: Awwww, Lala...you are a sweetheart...I hope that you and your hubby have a wonderful time...you work so hard on these ribbons for all, and then the tragedy last week....it is time for relaxation! Enjoy!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 3, 2010 at 6:18pm: This whole adopt a sailor thing makes me want to drive up there and cook a huge Thanksgiving dinner for a bunch of sailors.

Comment by Sherri_M on November 3, 2010 at 6:15pm: hey Ash, Sarah got 2 letters today, her sister got one, but I didn't get one either...last 2 weeks I received mine on wed too....maybe my mail is delayed...I live in the country and it alot of times is a day late...I'm hoping!

Comment by TammyCorpmanmom on November 3, 2010 at 5:59pm: What is a vauble sock? and why do they have to care them?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 3, 2010 at 5:57pm: It has been a very exciting day. I filled and shipped 15 goodie bags for the Sailors on the Harry S Truman (N4M project). It was fun shopping for all the goodies and it just makes you feel warm and fuzzy inside :-) And my sailor just found 15 packs of stickers that I use for the ribbons at AC Moore near her base and they honored my rain check from NC :-) And I just printed my tickets for me and my honey's date night tomorrow to go see Jeff Dunham :-) ....... After the very sad week we had last week it will be good to laugh. I hope everyone here had a great day and I hope you are getting letters and "good" phone calls. And just so you know, everyone who orders ribbons for PIR in December will get a FREE Navy Scrapbook embellishment with their ribbons. My way of wishing you all a very Merry Christmas :-)

Comment by Ashley (Ship09 Div009) on November 3, 2010 at 5:56pm: I'm going crazy right now! i hate not hearing from him... i miss him so much its unreal... i hope the next 29 days go by fast... thank you for reading my vent post im sorry.,.. i just had to get it off my chest... y'all are the best and i feel so happy to have found this website.. y'all help me through a lot because my family doesn't understand what i'm going through right now and y'all do

Comment by MEsailormom on November 3, 2010 at 5:32pm: I still cling to "no news is good news" and try not to jump to "I wonder if something is wrong". Boy this is a hard ride eh? I don't get letters till Thursday...will keep you posted.

Comment by Ashley (Ship09 Div009) on November 3, 2010 at 5:05pm: Well just gopt home and there was no letter from Curtis today ='( i've been getting his letters on wednesdays I'm wondering if something is wrong!

Comment by diannep on November 3, 2010 at 3:35pm: Oh, ok, chanmomship. I never got anything from the Navy after the form letter when my son went through. In fact, I got no graduation info at all! Guess it just got lost...but the thing is....sometimes delays can happen at the very end of bc, right before BStations. If they haven't passed everything by BStations, then they can't go through....although most make it before their PIR date, some are held back. So it probably is just best to go ahead with the reservations.

Comment by Sherri_M on November 3, 2010 at 3:26pm: I have heard that....but most people go ahead and make ressies...you can (or should) be able to cancel a hotel ressie up to like 48 hours before hand...better safe to have one,than not....and at 4 weeks, while they are doing great...it's still the Battlestations they have to get through before anyone really knows they are graduating....
