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 Bev Ship 02/Div 941 on July 14, 2011 at 12:18pm: ship 2 seems to be div 941... havent seen any other divs posted there yet

Comment by oregon mom on July 14, 2011 at 12:12pm: Hello everyone. My son is Ship 2 Div 273 anyone have an SR in his div?

Comment by Brenda72 on July 14, 2011 at 11:30am: Me too. I hate for his sisters to have to wait though.

Comment by tysmom on July 14, 2011 at 11:17am: The navy only gives 4 tickets. You can take your extra people along with id and they will probably get in. They may not be able to sit by you and there is the outside chance that they may not get in, but usually they do. There are a lot of div but sadly not every SRs family will be able to come to PIR.

Your SR will let you know when they will leave but it may not be till its closer to the end of BC. Kinda keeps you on pins and needles. The hurry up and wait mode is pretty typical here.

Comment by Kira's mom Ship 02 Div 941 on July 14, 2011 at 11:00am: We need 2 more tickets to graduation. Should I just have them show up and hope they get in? Also, when will we know when my daughter leaves for A school? She is going to Pensacola, FL for IT

Comment by Bev Ship 02/Div 941 on July 14, 2011 at 10:59am: Does anyone know about when we find out if our SR is a Grad N Go?

Comment by Brenda72 on July 14, 2011 at 9:15am: My son is an AO also...went back and looked at his paperwork.

Comment by Sparkling on July 14, 2011 at 9:07am: diannep-veteran: thank you! I am going to book everything no later than tonight hopefully.

Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons: My son is also AO. I'll send you a message as all the info you can tell me would be greatly appreciated.

Comment by diannep on July 14, 2011 at 7:59am: Lala is coming down into my neck of the woods for her honeymoon. Think she and her husband would mind me joining them on their trip???? :-)

Welcome NMsings!

Comment by tysmom on July 14, 2011 at 7:31am: Lala: I would consider a honeymoon a much deserved vacation! Now I remember the pic. Yes you are very generous to take the teens.Have a great time!!
