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 January 23, 2011 at 1:33pm: Dang I almost typed good morning lol, I can't believe it is already afternoon. I hope everyone has a fantastic day. I bet there are some mailmen who are very happy to be home today but I am guessing that they are also wondering what the heck is going on with their route, why is that crazy woman on such and such street always looking out her window, or chasing my truck. Maybe she is expecting a check or something lol. Hahaha, well I am off in search of stars for the PIR ribbons. Have a great day ladies.

Comment by diannep on January 23, 2011 at 9:03am: codysmom: There is a discussion group for 91 up above. That is a better place to meet up with the ladies in your division so that you don't have to leave this page to chat.

Comment by Redfly on January 22, 2011 at 9:21pm: AlisonSailorMOm, Yes we do, they are all great and will do great!!!

Comment by SailorMom on January 22, 2011 at 5:44pm: :) Oh that;s awesome you guys. Glad to hear all our boys aren's saying : get me out of here!" Actually my son spent the first three lines aologizing that he didn't talk to me when he made his "I'm here" call from GL. He called our house phone first, and no one picked up. He finally made a call to my brother's cell, and I was sitting right next to him. So while my son was saying, "I made it, you're going to get a box with my stuff" into the phone-- I was yelling at my brother -- let me talk to him!

By the time my brother handed the phone over my son had hung up. So he spent his four lines explaining and apologizing for hanging up before I got to the phone. I was really upset at myself that night, but I was really touched that what was in my son's form letter was his concern that I was upset he hung up! His last line was -- " things are okay here".

We have such good kids, you know? They deserve to succeed.

Comment by LWEatonNC (AWF Oceana) on January 22, 2011 at 5:06pm: I got a letter from my RS yesterday and the form letter today; definitely 3/11 PIR.

Comment by cody's mom (ship 12 div 091) on January 22, 2011 at 4:31pm: I just realized that i may have been addressing my letters to my son wrong. I have been leaving out Recruit Training Command between the second line which is ship and div. and GL, IL and zip line. Do you think he'll still get my letters???

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 22, 2011 at 3:14pm: Well for me 68 must be too cold cause I keep bumping that thermostat higher and higher lol. My power bill is gonna sky rocket if it doesn't warm up pretty soon.
