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 joshswife(Ship11Div212)PIR06/11 on June 4, 2010 at 12:43am: Can you guys believe we've gone from 8 weeks to just 9 days. We have almost made it and made a ton of friends along the way. I can not wait to meet you ladies and see our sailor's. I want to hug them and you all! I've seen the light and the tunnel's getting smaller. WOOO HOOO! Go Ship 11

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on June 3, 2010 at 10:06pm: Ladies, above is a discussion on PIR weekend. In it has good info on what they can and can't do. They do send out RDC's to watch the new Sailors and I hear it would not be good being caught. Your Sailor will also let you know but drinking, smoking or public affection is not a good idea. My son will still let me know if he is walking so I will not text him until he can stop.

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on June 3, 2010 at 7:34pm: Hmm. Are they allowed to drink while on liberty? I heard that they were not allowed. I, on the other hand, AM allowed and will be taking liberty with that!! :) :)

Comment by Jeff's momShip11Div210 on June 3, 2010 at 7:31pm: Is anyone familiar with Chicago?My son wants to go to a good but casual place to eat after PIR .Also would like it to have a bar to be able to have one drink since he turned 21 at Boot Camp.Please let me know if anyone has any ideas.Also wants to do a little walking around the city

I kept asking my son if anyone wasn't getting mail and he waits til the last week to tell me oh well. I'll bring something special for him for PIR.

Comment by Laurel on June 2, 2010 at 11:10pm: Eileen, Thanks for sharing your video, it put tears to my eyes just watching it. How exciting it will be to watch them show their stuff. I can't wait, I know we have 8 days, 15 hours, etc. but I'm ready to pack my bags now and get going. This waiting is for the birds.
