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 RenoNavymom on April 1, 2010 at 10:15pm: Congratulations Beachmom. My son is in BS right now. Best of luck to all our sailors. We are truly blessed to have such brave children (and husbands and wives) The final push. They will do great!!!!

Comment by Laura on April 1, 2010 at 10:12pm: it is so hard to work knowing we will be leaving in a week from today. I am supposed to be getting a call from my daughter tomorrow. My phone will be right by my side. I am thinking of all of them tonight during battle stations. I hope it all goes well.

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on April 1, 2010 at 9:39pm: Ladies check out PIR, Grads, parking, liberty, etc.. so much info but we were happy to find this before we got there. Alot of info and i was there on 3/19 PIR so I have other hints that help. Let me know and I will be happy to help you out. It's getting close for you all and I am excited for you all. It will be something you will never forget. It was nice to meet all the ladies at the Meet and Greet. So many memories. Deanna

Comment by LisaL on April 1, 2010 at 9:36pm: I just read the Battlestation schedule someone has posted and 809 is blank.. no one posted on 6th which makes me even more feel like thats when we going.

Comment by LisaL on April 1, 2010 at 9:30pm: SC Leah, mine did not mention BS date either, but words in letter kinda led to since they could call again on the 7th and he dragged around with it some that made me believe that there's is the 6th.. who knows, I dont think there telling anybody in a letter, makes me believe they are not allowed too... Idk... Im just assuming here until I read different somewhere...

Comment by Ann on April 1, 2010 at 9:28pm: Were there any attending who didn't have there name on the list who didn't get in.?

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on April 1, 2010 at 9:25pm: Deanna_AJ's_Proud_Navy_Mom, Hi Deanna Deanna here. We chatted just a few but it is now your turn. My Sailor PIR was 3/19 and you are in for the best time in your life since the birth of course. Let me know if you need any info to make it better on you. I sure learned a lot from other PIR's that helped when I was there. I know the number one thing was getting them back in time after liberty. I will keep my thought on battle stations for you all. Deanna
