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 Meegan on June 17, 2012 at 2:37pm: Thanks everyone, I am going to be staying in the area for a week. I have family in Indiana I want to see. I am thinking b/c I am going so many different places maybe I should have my travel agent take care of this for me. I do not want anything to happen that could screw up the proudest day (other than this birth) of my life. I did read that this week is going to be tough b/c it is "Hell week" am I right? does anyone know?

Comment by Meegan on June 17, 2012 at 2:07pm: Does anyone know what hotel is best? I do not care about anything but clean and a place to sleep (the little i will) lol

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on June 17, 2012 at 1:56pm: From Tampa southwest was almost $100 more a ticket so we are flying AirTran

Comment by diannep on June 17, 2012 at 1:43pm: Laureen is correct, Meegan. They can be setback (asmoed) or sent home at any time.

Did you check out fares with Southwest? Is that airlines available to you? No change fee, first 2 bags ship for free. Into Milwaukee or Chicago-Midway. Refundable tickets on other airlines are very expensive!

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on June 17, 2012 at 1:32pm: Meegan - we are flying into milwaukee, cheaper less traffic but also we are staying w family for a couple of days prior to PIR...we did not get refundable tickets it was $308 per ticket and if need to change it's an additional $75 plus any price difference...we didn't want to wait too long for fear of losing out on non-stop flight and 4 seats

Comment by Meegan on June 17, 2012 at 12:25pm: I am going to look for my flight and hotel today. I am very excited. I have heard so much about where to fly into etc.. I am reading alot about Milwalkee b/c traffic is easier. If anyone has any good advice. I also heard that you should get a refundable ticket? I was thinking we are at week 4 almost,l what are the odds now that one or any of our SR's would be sent home? Does anyone know about this?

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on June 17, 2012 at 8:26am: Happy father's day to all of the wonderful dads out there including my own...and like diannep - my dad has alzheimers too

Comment by DanaTN on June 17, 2012 at 8:20am: Diannep.. thank you for the info.. & always cherish the time you had...
Dads .... Happy Fathers Day!!

Comment by diannep on June 17, 2012 at 7:51am: Happy Fathers Day to all!

A rather sad day for me/my 2 sons since their dad passed away 11 yrs ago. And my dad is alive, but lost in Alzheimers...But I choose to spend today remembering the wonderful experiences we had with each!

Hoping all have a wonderful day appreciating those dads today!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 17, 2012 at 7:42am: Good Morning everyone and Happy Father's Day to all of our Dads, the wonderful dads on this site and in the Military. Go out and have a fun day :-)
