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 SandyShip11div90 ma of 2 sailors on April 2, 2011 at 11:25am: Good morning Cordova. My son made it. He's a Sailor and me a proud Navy Mom.

What happened to our 90 degree weather today? I 'm off today and was planning to enjoy it. That's Cali for you.

It's going to be in the high 50s in Chicago next week. Well that's still to cold for me. So I had to purchase boots and boy they were hard to find. Gotta love the internet. Hope to meet you next week.

Comment by Bebe on April 2, 2011 at 10:08am: judysoin~so funny. I have my SR GFs shopping for cute, hot looking stuff (like Craig hand mentioned a while ago)...me-pants and boots...so different from our so cal weather of 80 plus....I say go cute and wear a coat you can take off later.

Comment by terry268 on April 2, 2011 at 10:03am: Maybe a look at Weatherchannel.com is in order search chicago 10 day forecast

Comment by ntz4laa (HM Mom) on April 2, 2011 at 9:55am: lol, judyspin!

Comment by judyspin on April 2, 2011 at 9:51am: What to wear...yes, I was thinking, pretty skirt, with a shawl and cute flats, then they told me there might be a lot of walking, so the cute shoes are out. They told me it can get really cold there, so the pretty skirt is out. Maybe camos and a flak jacket...

Comment by judyspin on April 2, 2011 at 9:46am: Got the Ribbons! they are great! beautiful work, Lala! I have spoken this week to a couple of people who have attended PIR in years past and they spoke so highly of the event, and the facility!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 2, 2011 at 8:13am: I am so glad you all love your ribbons. NMoO1Girl- I am so sorry about that. I got a bunch of late minute orders for the 4-1 PIR group and had to get those out to make sure they got them in time for PIR. Please stay in touch after PIR and let me know how it all turns out for your daughter.

Congrats to all the new sailors. Don't you wish you could be there today to watch the having fun at the Captains Cup?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 2, 2011 at 8:09am: Yes you will definitely want a copy of the DVD. I watched ours again a few days ago and it still gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes.

Comment by sandy (ship 9 DIV. 126 ) PIR 4/8 on April 2, 2011 at 7:56am: i need to get a DVD so my SRs memere' can see her grad.

Comment by ochaos on April 2, 2011 at 12:45am: Make sure that if your recruit did not order the DVD that you do right after PIR - the line maybe long but worth wait. you can not order it after that day.
