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 Sandy's_sailor son on July 13, 2011 at 1:51pm: I think the hardest thing for most SR is the PFA. I am going to pray for this SR too. I pray that he will have confidence and determination to carry across that gym. I pray for his family too. I know they are stressed out.

Comment by MomaFlick on July 13, 2011 at 1:51pm: I'm confused - what is the backpack for?

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on July 13, 2011 at 1:45pm: thanks for clearing that up for me. I prayed for him last night as his Mom sent me an email, what a dilemma for the family, they aren't going and that breaks my heart to know he might or might not get to do PIR. Praying that all works out for him.

Comment by BoosMom on July 13, 2011 at 1:32pm: Praying here as well!!

Comment by diannep on July 13, 2011 at 1:30pm: I heard that there is someone in this PIR group who found out that their SR failed his PFA yesterday and can't run until tomorrow: There's still time! If he makes his run in the morning, he will go with PIR 7/22's BattleStations group tomorrow night....and be at PIR on Friday---in uniform, but in the balcony because of being up all night...too exhausted to march (although I heard from one mom that her daughter DID march after this because she was bound and determined she wasn't going to miss that! :-) )

Anyway, prayers for this SR and his family. Hoping that he has wings on his feet in the morning and gets it done. I have no doubt he will then make it through BattleStations!

If he doesn't make it (and we aren't thinking that way!), he will be in FIT DIVISION and be given chances each week to try again. Once he passes, he will do BattleStations with the next group and go straight to A School, no PIR.

So praying that he will be at his PIR!

Comment by elizabeth on July 13, 2011 at 12:21pm: Flying out this evening, so excited. Look forward to meeting everyone at the Meet & Greet tomorrow.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 13, 2011 at 12:13pm: rps65913, The Meet & Greet is held from 6 to 8pm at the Ramada Inn in Waukegan, IL. It is the night before PIR. It is a chance for you to meet ladies from your PIR group on NFMs.

Comment by mitchellheard on July 13, 2011 at 12:02pm: Leaving in about 4 hours coming from Alabama...So excited to see my daughter! Should be about 13 hour drive. Going halfway tonight and rest of trip tomorrow. Hope everyone has a safe trip traveling. See ya! Yea 227!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 13, 2011 at 11:51am: rps65913- if you can't rip it out...try a sharpie.
Do you mean that you do not have a debit card? If so, :'(... and your Saillor should! LOL you could always pay them back if you have an emergency.
My biggest "thing" , besides driving-which turned out to be THE most fun BTW, was packing. With security on the airlines now I was still all in a dither even after reading all that I could. I figured if I really needed something I'd by it at a WM or the NEX. I bought shampoo at the NEX, I didn't want liquids in my checked luggage...just me...I am not an experienced flier.
