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 AlabamaNavyMom(ET2) on August 17, 2010 at 11:52am: Wish everyone luck with Battleships tonight!!

Comment by Tobianne on August 17, 2010 at 11:41am: Good morning ladies, I want to wish you all the very best weekend with your Sailors possible. Cherish every minute my understanding is it goes by way to fast.

I however will not be at this PIR. My daughter is on LLD again, as she had to have an abscess removed and one drained.
I will get my weekend soon enough with my girl and I will be dancing on the moon when it comes.

I wish all of your new Sailors the best as they go on with their lives, as well as you moms.

Comment by wvsuzanne (PIR 8/13 nuke mom) on August 17, 2010 at 10:30am: Oh--and here is the link for the PIR 8/13 group--

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir8132010

It's a large, wonderful, and chatty group. Feel free to ask us questions! We'd love to help.

Have a great time at your PIR!!!!

Comment by wvsuzanne (PIR 8/13 nuke mom) on August 17, 2010 at 10:23am: "Ashley" absolutely IS spam. Dianne, Sobe, someone who can delete these people!!!

"Ashley" called herself something else when she posted the same link on PIR 8/13. These lock and go people come post on every PIR group, calling themselves something else because their last username was probably deleted from the last time. They were posting as blackcat on PIR 8/13, same link.

Just got back last night from my sailor's PIR (8/13). You all are in for the best weekend of your life! For all our experiences, be sure to read the 8/13 group from the past several days--lots of tips there!

Comment by Tobianne on August 17, 2010 at 12:33am: I did, but each RDC is different. I would think so though. I would have thought you would have gotten one over the weekend saying he had not passed. I would not stress too much, I know what it does to let the mind wander. I try to stay out of my head!! Hang in there. Believe me I understand exactly what you are going through. I finally just gave it up to God and let him take full charge, and I hope (I know she did also) for the best.

When they say BC is a roller coaster, they mean it is the mother of all coasters!!! lol.
I am praying for you and for Brad. Trust in your boy.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 16, 2010 at 11:58pm: Stephanie ~ Safe travels!!!!

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 16, 2010 at 11:57pm: His letter was dated on the 12th, and they did not have there final PFA untill the 12th, Don't know if it was written before or after, But he has BS 2 morrow night. Would I get a call before 2 morrow night if he does not get to do BS because of his run?

Comment by Tobianne on August 16, 2010 at 10:42pm: hang in there Amber. I would think he would have said something in his letter. When was it dated> refresh my memory, when was he suppose to do his final PFA?

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 16, 2010 at 10:25pm: boy have I been busy today, glad to be home. Congrats to div 281 on Captins cup!!!
Good luck to all that are going through BS tonight. Got a letter from my SR. He said Gas chamber sucked A** , also said he developed a fever afterwards, whats that all about, I don't know. Still have not heard if he passed his run, I wish I did know, I'm about to go nuts!!!!
