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 aj'smom(GL, IL) on February 25, 2011 at 10:53am: I'm so glad the letters are starting to arrive! Can't wait to find one in my box.....fingers are crossed for today. :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 25, 2011 at 9:35am: Good morning everyone. You guys are right this group is really growing quickly. I just received a payment on PayPal for some of the PIR ribbons I make for each group. The initials of the person who sent the payment are T N And it is a guys name. There is no note with is so I have no idea whose ribbon order this is for. So, if you just sent me a payment through PayPal this morning and didn't put a note with it please send me a message so I can figure out who this money belongs to. Thanks so much, I hope you all have a great day. There should be more letters coming today since Monday was a holiday. :-)

Comment by jim'scupcake on February 24, 2011 at 11:57pm: Debi: Go to "my page", click manage my page, then profile.

Comment by MamaMia on February 24, 2011 at 11:57pm: I can't believe a week ago we had less than 40 members and now we've topped 80! Again, welcome aboard! For anyone who has just joined, remember there are also Groups called PIR, boot camp, Seals, and other such groups you might want to join. If you inbox to your email (e.g. hotmail, yahoo, etc) is filling with everyone's comments you can simple click "stop following" and then just check your groups at your leisure. The chat room on the bottom right can be helpful too for a live chat with some of the 'veteran moms' on here. Sorry if this is a repeat for those of you who have been on here for 2 weeks! D

Comment by Cheryl on February 24, 2011 at 11:55pm: Debi, go to settings (on your upper right hand side of page) and you will see your name. You can change it from there.

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on February 24, 2011 at 11:51pm: I know exactly how you feel! I have these mini meltdowns all the time because I miss my son so...... much, and last Sunday was his 21st birthday, He is such a good kid (middlechild) and even though my other 2 sons are still at home, its just an ache in my heart! hugs and kisses to all of our future sailors

Comment by SR Mom Ship 11 Div 124 on February 24, 2011 at 11:43pm: I feel like my child went somewhere and has just vanished...I know it's not true but it just feels like he got swallowed up somewhere and I can't reach him. :(

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on February 24, 2011 at 11:41pm: Ok , Now this may sound really dumb, but how do I add my son's ship and div # next to my name? I can't seem to do it!
