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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 26, 2011 at 8:03pm: Thanks so much everyone, we had a beautiful day for our wedding and enjoyed having our family and friends with us this weekend.

Comment by Birdiejr on June 26, 2011 at 4:24pm: Congratulations, Lala. It sounds like a wonderful weekend for you and your family!!!

Comment by keger2001 on June 26, 2011 at 11:06am: Does anyone know how much the Six Flags tickets are for the grads and the families at the ITT? I can't their website to load..

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 26, 2011 at 12:17am: Parrothdgal-BWAA, HA, HA=PIR hangover! That is EXACTLY the right term.

We saw our Sailor off at Midway too at 1 AM (left the AP at 5 AM), drove back to the hotel, slept a little, packed, drove to O'Hare-IN the lighting and thunder;was so scary at the AP!), got delayed by an hour, flew back home to the west coast, then the flyaway bus, POV, then HOME.

My middle boy said, as we sat droopily at the flyaway bus area," We have been to THREE Airports today. I am SICK of Airports! hee,hee!

Hangover...inded!

Comment by diannep on June 25, 2011 at 1:51pm: 91brandonmom: Maybe the shuttle makes other stops along the way before getting to RTC? He could always catch a cab...a bit pricey but for sure would get him there on time. And he may even be able to catch up with you at your hotel so you all can go to PIR together?

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on June 25, 2011 at 11:05am: happy wedding Lala!!!!!!!

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 25, 2011 at 9:31am: Keger ~ thats great! :o)

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 25, 2011 at 9:30am: I have been sick and lost a lot of time on here...lol But as far as grad and go seems to me that most sailors left out Saturday early unless they stay @ Great Lakes. My Sailor had to be @ Midway @ 0100! So we went and stayed there w/ her for a few hours. Once at the air port they can have phones and a lap top. I also took her a change of civies and snacks for the plane. It was a good time spent with her. I highly recommend it! However...count on no sleep all weekend! I have never been so tired! I had a PIR hangover for 3 days but welcomed it!
