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 girlsyk01 on June 8, 2011 at 11:11pm: Okay, goin to bed. I am exhausted!

Comment by girlsyk01 on June 8, 2011 at 11:10pm: Was very hot, but general consensus is that it is not going to last. supposed to get cooler tomorrow. and chance of thundershowers.

Comment by reignbowtopia on June 8, 2011 at 10:59pm: girlsky01-You have had an interesting first day. How about a weather report for those who still have time to decide what to pack.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 8, 2011 at 10:38pm: Congrats to all the new Sailors, Have a great time at PIR and please travel safely.

Comment by girlsyk01 on June 8, 2011 at 10:30pm: Oh, and one more thing. I read on here somewhere that some people think the Ramada smells funny so I thought I would give you all a heads up. It does have a definite smell to it. Not unpleasant, just...interesting...kind of like walking into your Grandma's bathroom. :)

Comment by girlsyk01 on June 8, 2011 at 10:26pm: Mrs Mink, how cool is that? I know sign language! Probably way out of practice and know SEE sign, not ASL, but we can try if you are a signer. :)

And now ladies...for a little comic relief...Gnomes I hope you are getting on here at least one more time because you are gonna love this. Ha ha!

First, trying to get to the hotel from the Airport I pulled into a turning lane that that turned out NOT to be a turning lang but a turning into lane for oncoming traffic. Some kind bus driver honked at me and informed me that I was going to be munched if I stayed where I was at. Oops! Idaho driving is a bit different than Chicago.

Second, opened my suitcase and my acid reflux pills had spilled all over my suitcase. A couple got munched and when I opened it spilled all over the floor so it looks like I'm having a cocaine disaster on the floor.

And for the pista resistance...drumroll please...since I always get congested on airplanes, I brought along some psuedephrine (little red pills). We stopped to get something to eat after being lost for a while and my head was pounding so I got out my little red pills and popped a couple. Got back in the car and made it to the hotel. While unpacking my bag, I realized that I had popped the wrong little red pills. Instead of the psuedephrine, I took two Uristat little red pills instead. And yes...my pee is already orange. Oops!!!!! Okay, TMI but also very funny! :)

So glad to be here. Very exhausted, but very excited to see you all tomorrow! Woohoo!!!

Comment by teach2(ship 11 div 200) on June 8, 2011 at 9:29pm: Mrs. Mink- as long as you can read my lips I'm sure we'll get along splendidly!! (I think we already do!) I can't wait to meet you!

Oh- I'm still not packed. I leave 5am. What's wrong with me/??

Comment by papercrafter on June 8, 2011 at 9:11pm: Congrats, to all the new Sailors. I am so proud of you. Mrs. Mink, I look forward to meeting you and I don't think there will be a problem. We have gotten to know you and love you for who you are.

Packed and leaving in the morning. I am so excited. I can't wait to meet you all and to see my Sailor.
