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 K&D's Mom on March 8, 2011 at 1:15pm: Just made reservations at the Navy Lodge. YAY!!!!!

Lora- I know u stayed there, how far is it really from the area where the PIR is? They said it was 1 1/2 miles away and I thought someone had mentioned that it is right across the street from the main base.

Got ur message, thank u. I will get back to u soon.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 8, 2011 at 12:09pm: No, they don't call for that. Most families find out in a letter or like you said, the 3 week call. They do so many of them there I am sure they have it down to an art lol. My daughter said it was great lol, it was the first time she had heard music or seen TV in 3 weeks, other than the National Anthem and Anchors Aweigh lol.

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on March 8, 2011 at 11:40am: If they decide to pull their wisdom teeth do they let us know or do we just find out at that 3 week call?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 8, 2011 at 11:36am: They are some of the ribbons I have made for N4M members to wear to PIR to show support for their sailor. I don't make them for a profit, just enough for supplies, shipping, and expenses. It is my way of paying it forward because without this site I don't think I would have made it through when my daughter was at bootcamp. There are more pics on my page and if you would like more info or to order just send me a friend request and I will send the info back to you.

Comment by K&D's Mom on March 8, 2011 at 10:31am: Lala, what are the ribbons u have displayed for?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 8, 2011 at 10:26am: Thanks Diannep- Phil is tuff, he will be great :-) Mom has double pneumonia and has a ways to go. Keep her in your prayers :-)

Comment by diannep on March 8, 2011 at 10:23am: Lala, hope both your mom and hubby are feeling much better soon.

Comment by diannep on March 8, 2011 at 10:23am: Yay, Lala! Clock looks great!

Comment by K&D's Mom on March 8, 2011 at 10:19am: THANKS Janlee, I ordered mine. Can't wait to get it and show support to my hubby and my daughter.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 8, 2011 at 10:01am: Yay, I did it!!! and without any help lol. Now I have pleased myself :-)

Thanks Krystina's Mom
