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 GANavyMom on April 12, 2010 at 9:03pm: We loved it also! It reminded my husband of his boot camp experience and graduation from Great Lakes 40 years ago this month.

Comment by TexasBonBon on April 12, 2010 at 8:41pm: it was all over for me when they started singing, "Anchors Away..."

Comment by CharleneM on April 12, 2010 at 8:19pm: We got home about 1am and I got up to get ready for work at 5:15am! It was all worth it! Jackie, you are exactly correct! I have never been more proud of my son!!!!!!! Congratulations to all the new sailor and their families. It was wonderful to meet so many of you in person this weekend!

Comment by andy on April 12, 2010 at 6:27pm: We arrived home today, also. The weekend flew by, didn't it? You're right, Jackie. It was perfect. Congrats to everyone....on to A school!

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on April 12, 2010 at 4:26pm: Congrats to all the new Sailors. I remember when my son had his PIR in March. What a feeling when the door opened and they came marching in.

Comment by stlrgrl59 Sailor Mom on April 12, 2010 at 9:12am: Graduation was awesome!! spent most of Sat with her as well at the airport, was able to give her the laptop,cell, ipod now in Virginia Beach I think she will like it alot it is so much nicer being able to contact her again just wanted to say this site was a lifesaver.

Comment by RenoNavymom on April 12, 2010 at 1:07am: I just can't thank my brother in law and sister in law enough for being the surrogate parents to my son. They were there for us and sent us uploaded pictures as soon as they took them. We sat in the kitchen with coffee and tears waiting for each posting, it was almost like a "live feed" they were awesome. My son is doing great and in FL now awaiting his classes to start. Amazing "What a difference a day make Thanks to all of the N4M's posting and updates, it's been fun.

Comment by StevensProudStepMom_SAILOR on April 11, 2010 at 5:40pm: I have an hour and a half of video from the PIR, but the connection speed is too slow in the hotel to get it upload. Will do it first thing tomorrow when I get home and post the link to it.

Comment by MomMom on April 11, 2010 at 12:39am: A couple weeks ago some posted a facebook link with video on PIRs. Anyone know what it is? I can't find it again.
