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 Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on April 22, 2010 at 4:15pm: i got 4 letters today. She loved the questionnaire and so far i sent her 5 but today i couldn't think of any more questions so she just got a letter and an article I thought she would like. She sounds good, but said she is missing home more than she thought she would. All the letters were written before the phone call. I am counting down the days to PIR.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on April 21, 2010 at 4:58pm: Yes, 1 month from today!!!! I asked my daughter about PIR when she called Monday and she said they weren't allowed to even talk about it because it's too far off. You're right, no planning.

Comment by grumsmom on April 21, 2010 at 4:53pm: Ladies I just thought I'd let you know I called the PR office today, because my son is staying in GL for A school and wanted to know what the chances are of "overnight". She told me that the recruits won't even know until after PIR when they get their orders what their liberty would be. So much for planning. Oh, and by the way one month from today :)
