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 gratefulmom on April 19, 2011 at 9:13am: Is it normal to not get a phone call after battle stations? ship 3 div 143. Waited all day Monday and never a call. Does anybody know if they all passed. Thank you

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 19, 2011 at 9:13am: PIR Photo advice: I know almost everyone has some type of digital camera these days. So, when you get to the PIR hall spend some time taking random pics and play with the camera until you get the settings right for that environment and lighting. You can always delete the random pics to have more room on your SD Card. Your pics will turn out much better and you will be glad you did.

Comment by Becca1st on April 19, 2011 at 9:10am: Has anyone heard from div 147 yet?

Comment by cclivingston on April 19, 2011 at 9:10am: Just wanted to congratulate everyone on calls from their new sailors!!!! I was out of pocket all day yesterday. Just a few days now......:)))))))))

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 19, 2011 at 9:04am: Congrats to all the new Sailors Bravo Zulu, I tried to catch up on this page but OMG there are more than 10 pages lol.

One thing that you may want to be aware of when you travel anywhere. When we were leaving Chicago and the streets and parts of the interstate were flooded it was the first time we had ever used GPS. What a mess that was. It kept re-routing us back to the interstate. Maybe it was because we didn't really know what we were doing but it was terrible. I didn't think we would ever get out of that city.

Comment by SamanthaGPF<3 (Ship 03/Div.147) on April 19, 2011 at 8:59am: Ok thanks! :)

Comment by diannep on April 19, 2011 at 8:37am: samantha: Calls can come at any time! But the average is starting around 2 pm GL time. Phones ready all day long though!
