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 Ann on March 22, 2010 at 12:17am: Does that mean they will be in whites for the 4-9 PIR?

Comment by DeeG47 on March 21, 2010 at 1:06pm: JessicaB-Sailor Mom,

Thanks for the info about staying after PIR. You were quite helpful. This site has been a God-send! :)

Comment by NanaJ on March 21, 2010 at 9:40am: TN navy mom, So sorry to hear about your son. I'll be praying for him and your family every day. Any one got a sailor in Ship 13 Div 150? We have received 1 letter and no calls from him. I'm trying to be strong-can't do anything else. He's going to A school in Monterey, CA. Anyone else going there?

Comment by DeeG47 on March 21, 2010 at 9:16am: If my daughter is not leaving until Wednesday, like Weezie's, what do they get to do from PIR until that time? Are they on liberty? Can we have them stay with family in a motel, or are they to report to the RTC until they leave? Kind of confused :).
