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 ProudNavyMomNanette on May 25, 2011 at 12:09am: rackie: Thanks for putting the count down clock. It makes it a lot easier than writing on the calendars.

diannep: Thank you for your words of comfort to Karleen about the what happens and what to do's if our SR's don't make it on their scheduled 7/8 PIR. I too am hoping that no one will have to go down that path but it's good information to know ahead of time.

Comment by joel's_rackie on May 24, 2011 at 11:29pm: Took me a while to put that count down clock. I'm not as computer savvy as i ought to be! Thank's for liking!

Comment by CArol on May 24, 2011 at 10:32pm: Yes! The clock is very cool. Only 44 days!

Comment by MidwestMom on May 24, 2011 at 10:13pm: Cool clock! Thanks everyone!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 24, 2011 at 9:45pm: This site is so helpful to so many. I wish everyone knew about it. I imagine most of those who get goodies sent to them at bootcamp and have to do IT (intense training) are those who's families know nothing about this site because we would tell them not to do that lol. Our recruiter told us about this site as well. I learned so much on this site and passed it on to my daughter that she finally just said Mom, don't tell me any more you are making me nervous. She was only in DEP 1 month. It was a good thing she was athletic and very good at memorizing because that wasn't very much time to prepare at all.

Comment by Willsmom on May 24, 2011 at 9:27pm: Diannep...appreciate the information! Thanks! Again, I am thankful for this site.

N4Ms has helped me since my son was a depper! (His recruiter told me about it back in October and I've been checking it out ever since! - a lot of the info helped my son prepare, as well!)

Comment by Susie2916 on May 24, 2011 at 9:15pm: Diannep: Thanks! My son's recruiter told him about this site. I would have thought that all recruiters would do that. I guess I should be thankful for the recruiter for the imformation.

Comment by Sonie (Ship12.Div 226) on May 24, 2011 at 9:09pm: Thanks Diannep that helps out a lot.

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2011 at 9:08pm: Night, all!

Comment by diannep on May 24, 2011 at 9:07pm: Sonie: I wouldn't wait on the hotel reservations, especially if you need a larger suite like Residence Inn has (2 bdrms 2 bth and studios also). The hotels have very generous cancellation policies so there is no harm done in booking now. Some of the larger suites sell out sooner than the rooms do.

Susie: You all will find that there is a very small percentage of the total PIR ladies on this site. Sad that many don't even know about it. You will be able to share with some of those ladies at the MeetNGreet and PIR. Be sure to tell them about this site because it will be helpful to them during A School, C School, and duty stations too.
