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 gnomesweetgnome Ship 11/Div199 on June 13, 2011 at 10:58pm: Oh Kim, I am so happy to hear that she made it!! I was so worried when I didn't hear from her.

I think most of us are home by now...glad we all made it safely. :) I'll put a link to my PIR pics on the facebook page soon. :)

Comment by MJ214 (Ship 11 Div 200) on June 13, 2011 at 10:05pm: Finally made it home after a LONG but amazing weekend. So glad to have met you all at Meet & Greet, and a million thanks to all of you who helped me get to my hotel, PIR, meet & greet, the airports, etc. You are all fabulous women! I'm going to miss the daily posts in this group for sure.

My SAILOR man is loving Charleston already. Ended up with a roommate who plays rugby just like him. So happy for him and I can't wait to visit!

There were about 15 army rangers on my flight today and everybody clapped for them as they boarded the plane. They may not have been sailors, but military all the same, and I may have teared up a little bit. So proud of our sailors & can't wait to see what's next for them :)

Comment by KimT on June 13, 2011 at 9:35pm: I talked to UK Girl at PIR. She missed a flight and then had a delay, but made it to O'Hare around 2 a.m. and to her hotel at 4 a.m.

Comment by papercrafter on June 13, 2011 at 7:28pm: Mrs Mink, I love the FB post of your sons. That is one correct statement. It was wonderful meeting you. PIR has been an experience that I can hardly explain to everyone when they ask, I just keep saying that it was amazing.

Ladies, it was great to meet all of you. I wish you the best of luck with your sailors, and blessing to enjoy this new journey they are all on.
