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 Aussiesmom on May 19, 2015 at 12:12pm: Hello Birdiejr,

My son just reenlisted yesterday, on the anniversary of his enlistment 4 years ago! Time really does fly. He will be coming home this week and will get married to his high school sweetheart next week! We are so happy and excited :) Glad to hear that your son is happy too! Blessings to each of you and your Sailors.

Comment by Birdiejr on May 19, 2015 at 8:07am: Hard to believe it has been almost three years now. Hope everyone is doing well!! My sailor is in Japan and seems to love it!!

Comment by Christy on July 21, 2012 at 3:48pm: Oh so true as to how fast a year goes by. My son is now doing IT on the Ike. So good to hear from all.... Stay close

Comment by Aussiesmom on July 17, 2012 at 10:01am: Nice to hear from you Birdiejr and glad your sailor is well. Btw, I like the picture!

Comment by Birdiejr on July 16, 2012 at 6:05pm: Aussiesmom - You are right!! I can't believe it has been a year!! Amazing!! Hope you are well and able to communicate w your sailor often. We spoke w ours yesterday and he is well. Hugs to you all!!

Comment by Aussiesmom on July 16, 2012 at 1:22pm: Wow, it's been a year since PIR! I hope all of you and your sailors are doing well. There have been many twists and turns throughout the past year for some of us I'm sure. I just remember how excited we all were last year at this time.

Comment by Christy on September 14, 2011 at 8:00pm: Sharon...Hi my son is 1 1/2 weeks into the next class after A+ called CNNA. Yes my son is doing LOTS of studing also.

Comment by Sharon-Proud Sailor Mom on September 14, 2011 at 6:14pm: Hi Christy - my son wasn't in this PIR, but did B/S with them (he was injured). now he's at Corry Station doing IT also in the 3:30 to 12:30 class. Did your son just finish his A+ Certs? They may be in the same class. They do study a lot. It seems that they go from one challenge (physical) to another - educational! We visited P'cola over Labor Day weekend (along with Tropical Storm Lee!!!) Not much beach time - but it was great to see my son! When you go, I recommend the Fish House Rest. It was great!

Comment by Christy on August 18, 2011 at 9:01am: Hi to all...My son is in Pensacola Fl at IT training Corry Station...He is very happy but said his is studing is bottom off. We talk almost daily as his class is the 3:30 to 12:30 midnight hour....he is becoming a night owl...lol

Comment by elizabeth on August 16, 2011 at 10:37am: Southern Mom, and everyone else in our PIR group. My son Justin is also in San Antonio, Texas and is really liking it. He was really happy about starting his classes last week. I am taking a trip out there this weekend to see him and I am taking him clothes, camera and baseball glove. We talk almost everyday which is really nice.
