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 cathy on March 7, 2010 at 10:35pm: Hi, my son is Ship 10 Div 164. I can't wait for PIR and get to see and hug him.

Comment by 209mikesmom on March 7, 2010 at 3:25pm: maussie64, I read back a few comments and found your info. We are coming from Pittsburgh Pa. We will be driving. It is about 8 hours for us. The days seem to get longer. I agree with Susie1215 it is not like sending them off to college. I have sent two boys off , you talk to them everyday , they bring their laundry and friends home THEN clean out the pantry leave and do the same thing the next weekend. . I can live with not seeing my sailor for a year or more I just want to talk with him and know he is OK.

Comment by 209mikesmom on March 7, 2010 at 3:10pm: maussie64, We are ship 10 Div 163. How about you guys?

Comment by maussie64 on March 7, 2010 at 1:12pm: 209Mikesmom, We are staying at the Res Inn too. What is your son's ship and div #?

Comment by 209mikesmom on March 6, 2010 at 4:43pm: Hello Cheri915 It is nice to connect with someone from our ship! We have our reservation for PIR. I can't wait. We will be staying at Residence Inn.

Comment by cheri915 on March 5, 2010 at 6:35pm: Hi There,
My son is Ship 10 Div 163. I am from the St Louis Area and am considering taking a train or renting a car. We cant afford to fly. Does anyone know anything about staying at the navy lodge? We are also looking for cheap hotels close by. Any info is greatly appreciated.
I want to say hi to Mike's mom, I see your son is in same ship & div as mine!
Have a great day!

Comment by maussie64 on March 4, 2010 at 9:25pm: I booked a one bedroom suite at the Residence Inn in Waukegan. My husband and I get the bedroom. Son gets the couch (if we bring him).
Full breakfast and an outside cab company provides shuttle service to PIR for 3.00 each way per person.

Comment by Wendy B. on March 4, 2010 at 8:17pm: My son is Ship 10 Div 164. Looking forward to 4/23!

Comment by maussie64 on March 4, 2010 at 3:10pm: If PIR was during summer vacation or even spring break I would have been more than willing. But, that is too much school for my son to miss.

Comment by maussie64 on March 4, 2010 at 1:53pm: My husband wanted to drive too. From so Cal! Only 2012 miles. LOL. Actually, I would be up for it if it didn't mean that my seventh grader would miss so much school.
I just had a thought about shuttles.... If our grads are free after graduation(until 8:00 pm, I think), would they be able to get on the shuttle and ride it back to the hotel with us to get the car? I wold hate to have to say goodbye and leave her there.
