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 caylex 9/279 on August 20, 2011 at 8:23am: rhonda, that sounds wonderful! We never know what we'll miss until we don't have it.

Comment by rhonda121199 (Div 269) on August 20, 2011 at 8:15am: My daughter is a competitive shooter. She holds a state and national title. She is also an incredible musician... Plays piano, violin and bass guitar. I sit in her room sometimes, close my eyes, and listen to the music in my mind... Never thought i'd miss all that "noise" coming from her bedroom. One of the things she wrote in a letter is how much she misses her music. I've found a piano store up there that is going to let us bring her in after graduation and play one of their pianos... She'll be so excited. I can't wait!!!

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 20, 2011 at 7:42am: I forgot to post a question yesterday. I was at a festival all day and should have done it before I left. So today is a two-part question:

What does your SR like to do for fun, and do you share those same interests?

My son's favorite thing to do is go bass fishing. My husband is a professional bass fisherman, and our kids learned at a very young age. Alex loves to fish in tournaments (and is pretty good) just like his dad :) He also loves to hunt and watch movies. As a family, we all enjoy those things (except I stink at fishing, I guess I just don't have the right DNA for it.)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 20, 2011 at 4:03am: Ladies...for the Sailors that aren't able to have anyone come out to PIR...ask your Sailor if they are buds with them and offer your hospitality if you like and take them with you for the day. Many do this!

Comment by SailorBrittysMom on August 20, 2011 at 1:54am: I wll look for him & give him a hug for you you can call my cell anyti e to talk too 916-747-0764

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 20, 2011 at 12:12am: Wouldn't that be something! People coming up to hug him & knowing that I sent them because I didn't want him to feel alone! That makes me feel good!

Comment by sjtina on August 19, 2011 at 11:54pm: hvnly I am sure someone would love to give your sailor a hug for you. Your right it was expensive. He knows he will see you soon.

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 19, 2011 at 11:29pm: My lanyard arrived today!! Thank you thank you!! Makes me a little sad since I can't wear it to PIR, but you better believe I'll be wearing all day at work on the 26th!! LOL I am going to show my pride for my Sailor!!

Comment by HvnlySno (S11, DIV 276) on August 19, 2011 at 11:26pm: Oh you guys! Would you all look for my SR! I don't think anyone is coming from his family. He & I decided to wait and have me & my kids fly out for a big vacation. I have ask a couple wonderful ladies whos hubbies are in his div to take a picture of him for me and give him my love. I wish I could be there...have wanted to, but he is right...is expensive & we can spend more time together when we see eachother at the end of training. If anyone is willing to look for him private message me and I can give you info so you can find him. :)
