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 cinder on January 28, 2011 at 6:48pm: Does anyone know if the Ramada provides a free shuttle? The other hotels mention it but they don't. Has anyone else gotten a call for security clearance?

Comment by diannep on January 28, 2011 at 6:17pm: NavyMomAllison: MeetNGreet is at the Ramada Waukegan, 6-8pm, on the 17th...unless you all do one on your own somewhere else. Ramada's is for all Navy families PIRing on the 18th.

Comment by NavyMomAllison (PIR 3/18) on January 28, 2011 at 5:54pm: Beth....when is the Meet & Greet??

Comment by NavyMomAllison (PIR 3/18) on January 28, 2011 at 5:53pm: We have reservations at the Residence Inn in Waukegan.

Comment by diannep on January 28, 2011 at 5:51pm: Angie: There will be wheelchairs at RTC manned by sailors. You can call the Public Affairs Office to make sure, but they were there when we were, just waiting for those who needed "a ride" into the Hall...

On adding the MeetNGreet so that people can RSVP, you can do it on the calendar at the right (add it as an event for the 17th) or start a discussion group up top for it and let people RSVP that way. The week of PIR, someone will need to call the Ramada and give them a "ballpark" figure of those from this group attending the MeetNGreet.

Comment by NavyMaMa23 on January 28, 2011 at 5:42pm: Is there a certain calling card we should get for our SRs? I was going to go get one before I send out my next letter.

Comment by cinder on January 28, 2011 at 5:28pm: Sounds like I better make reservations now before all the rooms are gone. So we all are going to have a meet and greet Thursday night before PIR?

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 28, 2011 at 5:28pm: Beth that will be my project for the weekend dont worry Im on it Since Im officially a empty nester now Ive decided to add a few other activities to my list Im going this weekend and join the American Legion They do a lot of great service projects for the military and I'ld like to get involved in some of their projects

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 28, 2011 at 4:54pm: Yes Beth White Oak Drive and not sure how late we will be up since we need to get up pretty darn early on Friday am Couple of questions for you

We are driving in and my 80 yo mom is flying into Milwaukee If we leave here at 7 am we wont be there til closer to 6 pm Her flight arrives at 4 pm and I may just have my husband drop me off at the Ramada inn so I dont miss a minute of the M&G and him go fetch mom

how far is the hotel from there? Do you know anywhere in the vicinity that we can get her a wheelchair? She wont be able to walk to the hall and you dont per chance have a air mattress
