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 nycnative12/ProudparentHMSR on April 16, 2011 at 12:17am: Ladies, Today was awesome, I meet a few ladies at the meet & greet Last night. 129 Did not do to bad with the flags they pulled things together in the end. Thanks ladies for all the support over these 8 weeks. My daughter will be leaving for Dan Antonio on Sunday, but we will be leaving tomorrow night. So we had a good day. It was a day I will smile about for ever. Thanks again ladies for being part of my daughters memory.

Comment by humblek2124(Ship09Div137) on April 15, 2011 at 10:00pm: I enjoyed everything about todays PIR graduation!! It was an event in which I will never forget. Spending time with my fiancee was wonderful as well. Thanks to everyone who has helped me with questions over the last couple of weeks. I will be at the airport in the morning to spend some more time with him before he is scheduled to fly out to San Antonio for A School.

Comment by kimcon55 on April 15, 2011 at 9:12pm: Thank you ckared - I am going to the airport to spend some time with him before the flight leaves - so will get to see him and that is the important thing. Also, his A school is 8 hours away from where we live so I can head down there a time or two!!! Have a great day tomorrow!!!

Comment by ckared716 on April 15, 2011 at 8:46pm: Kimcon55 It is a shame that he has to spend all that time at the airport. I just took my sailor back to the base and the is going to A school here so my husband and I get to pick him up tomorrow and Sunday and then monday we leave back for warmer weather. My heart is breaking for the moms who have to send their sailors off tomorrow. I feel guilty for the time we get to spend with him knowing what you are going through.

Comment by kimcon55 on April 15, 2011 at 7:19pm: Awesome, it was just awesome! Spending the day with my new sailor was even more awesome! He has gone back to base now, and has to be at O'Hare tomorrow at 1AM, for a 5PM flight to Mississippi!!!!

Comment by diannep on April 15, 2011 at 7:15pm: Soooooo.....how was PIR? Was ANYONE disappointed???? Or was it a magical moment? Sure was for me when I was up there! Enjoy time with your new sailors!

Comment by Zacksmom on April 15, 2011 at 6:45pm: Hanging with my sailor.... Loving every much needed minute....
