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 diannep on July 7, 2011 at 7:47am: Thanks for the kind words, BunkerQB!

I will check out the info. No, I didn't know about that. Thank you for the lovely invitation to be a part of the panel!

Comment by diannep on July 7, 2011 at 7:45am: Someone sent me a friend request with a question about sending college transcripts/address discrepancy. Just as I was reading your request, my electricity went off and I lost your info. Can you please send the request again?

Comment by BunkerQB on July 7, 2011 at 2:52am: Wonderful to see so many energetic moms in connected with one PIR date. Diannep is indeed a real N4M vet. She's always on the mark - so listen to her suggestions.

@diannep did you know about the new "add a page" function available recently? I use it to catalog important information. I have them set to "no comments" allowed. See the 8 pages I added on New Moms Stop Here. They are located just below the member icons. If you have time, we would love to have you be on our panel of advisers too.

Comment by diannep on July 6, 2011 at 7:19pm: Ladies: There are currently two PIR 8/26 groups. One will be deleted, but we aren't sure which one yet. So please make sure you are a member of both this one and the following group:

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir8262011 (click and join this one too)

That way, when one is deleted, you will be connected to the other one.

Comment by diannep on July 6, 2011 at 5:41pm: Nice to know that you are also a veteran mom! Mine PIRed 1.5 yrs ago.

Comment by diannep on July 6, 2011 at 5:31pm: Hey, Sharon. Thanks for starting this group! Be sure to post your group link on BootCamp Moms every day for a while so others can find you. I am a veteran mom on the PIR sites to help and would be glad to help on here.

Do you know how to change your group picture (silhouette) up top? What I did on the groups I started was to google "Navy Piks" and picked one that I liked, saved it and then downloaded it. It easy. If you need help, let me know! I think I just clicked on "image" below the group title in the Settings area.

Thanks again!

Comment by broncosailor on July 6, 2011 at 3:39pm: Sharon, got the box but no form letter yet. Did you, or are we calculating the PIR date? Recruiter said he did not know yet and would only be guessing. We ended up in Ship 11, Div 274 according to the recruiters office. Wondered if they ended up together there. Thanks for the heads up on this site at MEPS. Was nice talking to you there.
