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 16, 2010 at 8:07am: For those of you from warmer states (like me!) who may need to buy a coat for PIR. Check out jcpenney's website today...they are on having a one day blowout sale and they have some beautiful $200+ coats on sale for less than 1/2 price.

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 16, 2010 at 2:12am: jessicat i have a long jacket it's a full body... so i think that would be warm enough to warm me up in the snow!!! :)

Comment by jessica (ship 09 div 015) on November 16, 2010 at 1:55am: Sailor'sGirl: You are going to wear leggings and a dress in the SNOW??!!!

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 16, 2010 at 1:45am: jessicat yessss im not too ready lol

molly i think i will just wear a boots, black leggings, a long dress with a brown jacket... and a gloves of course... also a scarves i think!!

fyrwife i will go with emily's idea then the rest of my letter after that day will go straight to my sailor on the PiR and i am personally gonna give it to him :)

Comment by jessica (ship 09 div 015) on November 16, 2010 at 1:23am: MollySpecialSoc: Would it be fine if i wore jeans, boots, a tank, and not too thick of a jacket? And are gloves a MUST? Also, what about scarves? Will i die without one?

Comment by fyrwife (EM Nuke mom) on November 16, 2010 at 1:09am: Would anyone have an idea on when to stop sending letters to our SR's? I know that there is a time lag between when we send them and when they actually receive them. At some point, maybe a week before PIR the letters will no longer get to our SR's before they graduate?

Comment by Molly*corpman* mom on November 16, 2010 at 12:50am: ok ladies, i live in iowa and dont layer to much, long under wear underyourclothes is good,, the main thing is to keep your head and toes warm.. dont wear too many socks or your feet .. one pair is fine,,,, im wearning jeans, tank top, shirt and a jacket with a hood, 1.00 gloves (but them at walmart when you get there) 11 pair of socks and slippers shoes,,, if it in the upper 30's lower 40's you will be fine... but what do I know I life in this yucky crap year after year....lol just pray for no snow... hope this helps
