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 11, 2012 at 10:37pm: JDM, maybe she will be doing them better than some of the guys. that would be pretty cool :-)

Comment by diannep on June 11, 2012 at 6:51pm: Patrat: My yellow lab does the same thing with his lip...the "smile!" So cute! Usually when he wants a treat or his dinner. It is almost like he is saying: "Please, Mom? Look how cute I am!" Of all of the Labs we have had since I was a kid, only one other did this smile. It is so sweet...

JDM: KUDOS to your daughter and how awesome she is doing on the push ups! HOOYAH!

Comment by JDM on June 11, 2012 at 12:40pm: My son receivedone on Saturday. I made the mistake of telling our girl to concentrate on writing to him since i knewthey wouldn't have much time....i'm seriously re thinking that...lol

She said she is doing okay and was one of three ladies that could do the pushups :-)

Comment by MOMofDREW2.0 on June 11, 2012 at 12:29pm: Hi Moms, Any letters yet? FYI I got to see Drew's letter this morning and it was post marked Wednesday June 6th. Fingers crossed for all of you!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 11, 2012 at 10:30am: Thanks Betsy, I really wish this site had a "like" button for comments :-)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 11, 2012 at 10:10am: I totally ditto what dianne said about Lala's ribbons. I have heard wonderful reviews on them. Unfortunately, I didn't think to order them when my son PIR'd, but once I was in the hall and saw them on other moms, I was sorry that I didn't have one. I have ordered a custom made bag and Kindle cover from her and I love them.

Comment by JDM on June 11, 2012 at 9:45am: Good morning everyone, hope you all have a wonderful day :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 11, 2012 at 8:55am: Good Morning Good Morning Diannep :-) Sometimes we cal all use an extra Good Morning lol.

Comment by Patrat-Ship04-Div223 on June 11, 2012 at 8:38am: :) Totally get the dog thing! we have a golden who my son is very attached to. He does this thing with his lip that we call the Elvis impression. It's like he smiles and his lip goes up just like Elvis! To bad we can't do video chat, he would love to see that! I know that he misses him.
