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 SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 10, 2010 at 3:21pm: Love all the posts!!! It's funny, the moms in my PIR group all thought our kids had grown taller too - until my son said "we learned to stand straight and proud, instead of hunched over like a teenager - we are proud to stand tall Mom" - it made me cry when he said that.

So happy for all of you - thanks for taking the time during your PIR weekend to update the rest of us - can't tell you how much that means to us. Now.... get back to enjoying your Sailors and post when you return!

Comment by Mississippimom on July 9, 2010 at 11:27pm: Did ya'll do a M&G at the Ramada? Wow, 13 people! That sounds like a record. We all are excited for your group. Well done.

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on July 9, 2010 at 9:28pm: I finally got online at our hotel and caught up on all the messages. PIR was awesome and then we spent the day with our new sailor at the Navy Pier. Then back to the hotel where he went swimming and then took a long shower (by himself). Going to Six Flags with him tomorrow.

He didn't perform at PIR since he was one of SRs that opens the doors for the officers -- I did see him open the door for someone when we first got to the ceremony hall and started crying. It was quite awesome to see the difference in him in those 8 weeks -- quite the young man was with us today.

Comment by Mississippimom on July 9, 2010 at 7:28pm: Praise God for answered prayers! That is the best news I have had all day.Congrats to all of you and your happy sailors :)

Comment by KLMkathy on July 9, 2010 at 6:38pm: Bravo Zulu, way to go, Division 242. Jenny, Have a wonderful time with Joe. I can't wait to hear all about it. Kathy

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 9, 2010 at 4:16pm: Yippee!!!! I am so happy for Div 242, and all the other divisions too. We have all been waiting for that news - thank you JOE'S MOM for posting that!!!!!

Comment by AndrewsMom ship13, div 245 on July 9, 2010 at 3:32pm: Such wonderful news about Div 242. Congratulations to the Sailors and Families!!! Enjoy your time together

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 8, 2010 at 5:19pm: I know BS-21 is sort of a sore thumb right now in some of your minds, but I forgot I had this video and so decided to post it on all the groups I belong to. Turn your sound on!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 8, 2010 at 4:21pm: How is everyone doing? Some of you have arrived at Great Lakes, I know how you are feeling! I drove by RTC 5 times hoping I would see my son out marching (no luck!).

Any news from those with kids in Div 242? Maybe no news is good news. The Navy said in that form letter that a recruit will call home immediately if their PIR date is changed, so maybe NO NEWS is GOOD NEWS! That's my prayer, however I'm hoping that they let them call their parents with some good news too! Still praying for all of you. Please let us know, we are sitting on pins and needles!

Comment by SailorsAngel21 on July 8, 2010 at 4:00pm: I just got to great lakes last night!!!!! I can't believe I'm less then 5 miles from him!
I can't wait till tomorrow!!!!!!!!!
