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 diannep on May 23, 2011 at 8:51pm: Thanks, bmello.

Comment by diannep on May 23, 2011 at 7:50pm: Did any sailors who went to Pensacola leave on PIR day from this group? On the 7/1 group, an SR is saying that they leave on PIR day. Was wondering if that is standard since we have not heard of that before.

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on May 23, 2011 at 10:16am: Hi Tricsious,I'm glad your home...Nothing like home!!!

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on May 23, 2011 at 8:52am: Well ladies, I'm home and trying to wind down from a whirlwind weekend. The term whirlwind doesn't even begin to describe it! First off, it was wonderful to meet many of you. The meet n greet was the perfect opening for a great weekend. The graduation took my breath away (literally) and spending time with my sailor was priceless. The goodbyes were worse than I could have imagined. I really thought going away to bootcamp was the worst. This surpassed it tenfold. I thought the tears were done as I cried almost the entire way back to Buffalo. Seeing so many pics today just brought it all back. Whew!!! This was such an exciting experience and now the new journeys ahead are scarey yet exciting as well. I feel so much closer to my sailor and to all of you. The connections made are something I will carry with me and hold dear to me forever! You are a wonderful group and I"m so honored to be a part of it! Thank you!! AND HOORAH SAILORS!!!!!!!!! We are SOOOOO Proud of you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Hisbelovedlinda on May 22, 2011 at 10:27pm: Hep's Proudmom, my son's PIR was March 11, we got our DVD in the mail and I was so excited, I saw my son several times....I have watched it over and over! So much is going on there, I missed so much of the speeches, etc. you get to see so much that you could not see from one place ....we were way to the left end, so there was lots going that we really did not see when we were there....it's a great memory and well worth the investment! Can't wait for my Sailor to come home and see it!!!! we are so proud of him and all these Sailors! Congrats!

Comment by diannep on May 22, 2011 at 9:07pm: The DVD is of the PIR ceremony. Very much worth getting! $29

Comment by Momoj on May 22, 2011 at 8:43pm: What is on the DVD? Is the graduation ceremony or something else?

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on May 22, 2011 at 5:29pm: Facebook RTC has wonderful pictures! I posted some blurry ones, but also some of the re-enlistment. Those are also in an album here on my page, and they are good. Just got home from our community Armed Forces Day celebration. Next, Navy Week in June after Memorial Day.

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on May 22, 2011 at 4:49pm: Hi Ladies, IT WAS AWESOME! SOOO proud. I loved meeting everyone.. I am wondering what is next....Pics to come soon..
