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 Pearl Harbor MA on March 12, 2011 at 10:51pm: Lala- I went on a field trip with our kindergartners to the zoo this week and my 25 yr old was SO jealous! Guees I'll have to plan a trip and meet him in the middle at the zoo in Ft Worth!

Comment by janlee on March 12, 2011 at 10:42pm: Lala/freebird...so glad to hear good news from the both of you...sounds like everyone is moving forward...

Lala, OMG--70 degrees sounds like HEAVEN!!! I am SO ready for spring!!!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 12, 2011 at 10:32pm: Welcome back Freebird, don't worry, sometimes we all may need a break from one thing or another. No harm done. I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend. I would like to thank you all for the prayers for my mom. She was able to come home from the hospital yesterday and is feeling much better than a week ago. We took the off from home, cleaning, laundry and yes, the computer and took the kids (teens) to the zoo. It was a very nice warm and sunny 70 degrees and we had a great time. Looks like tomorrow is going to be just as beautiful :-)

Comment by diannep on March 12, 2011 at 3:35pm: Welcome back, Freebird!

Comment by diannep on March 12, 2011 at 3:23pm: sailormom: Not to worry....Courtyard DOES have the shuttle (you were given back info). Call them back another time...sometimes the front desk agents just don't know! The PIR shuttles are actually taxis...they call them and book them according to the number of people needing them. So do call the hotel back...try to get a different shift/different agent. Someone else on another group said the same thing as you...for the Springhill Suites (also Marriott). I told her that they DO have a shuttle...to call back. She did, got another agent, and waLA! They do book the taxi shuttles. So call again! By the way, a friend of mine stayed at Courtyard for her son's PIR, before my son was in the Navy, and she is the one who told me to take the shuttle so I know they have it.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 12, 2011 at 3:09pm: No letter here either, Megs... knowing my son he slept through any free time he had!

Comment by Proud Mom (2nd Time Around) on March 12, 2011 at 2:52pm: Welcome back Freebird! The Navy does some great work!

Comment by J'smomAME-Norfolk on March 12, 2011 at 1:57pm: Congrats freebird. See the Navy does change them. I am so glad that you are back and feeling better. My SR got put into Div 148 so he will also PIR on the 22nd. Hope you will be able to make it to GL for the PIR!!!

Comment by Megs-Sailor Wife on March 12, 2011 at 1:16pm: Well no letter AGAIN today....poopy!!!!!!!!

Comment by sailormom ship 3 div 146 on March 12, 2011 at 11:42am: Booked at Marriott Courtyard. Now how do I book a shuttle to get to and from PIR? Any ideas? The hotel doesn't offer it as a service.
