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 TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on August 2, 2010 at 8:42am: Yes today is 4-1. My daughter's pay hit on Friday as well. In regards to pay, if the first or 15th falls on a weekend or holiday, then the pay date will always be the banking business day before that. In this case military payday was on Friday the 30th.

Comment by tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on August 2, 2010 at 8:37am: I think is is either 3-5 or 4-1. I'm not exactly sure.

Comment by diannep on August 2, 2010 at 7:24am: Pay would have come in on Friday for Navy personnel. It is on the 1st and 15th each month, but will always be paid ahead of time when that date falls on a weekend.

Comment by diannep on August 2, 2010 at 7:23am: Kristina: It is up to you on the PIR dress. I wouldn't be so fancy that you can't walk comfortably because it is a bit of a walk to the hall. So comfortable shoes at least! For those who want to wear heels, you may want to wear comfortable shoes there, carry your heels with you, and switch in the hall. Just make sure that whatever you wear looks nice...you can't believe how some people dress for this....from much too fancy to "forgot to get dressed this morning!"

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 1, 2010 at 11:37pm: are we suppose to wear casual wear or business to Pir

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 1, 2010 at 11:34pm: if it is a weekend it wouldve got their friday at midnight or saturday. My husband got his in Friday. Maybe he open a navy account.

Comment by Jophers(Jo- Cameron's mom) on August 1, 2010 at 11:17pm: Cathy said her son son got paid. My son told me on the phone that they would be paid the 1st. My son's pay is not there. As it's a Sunday do you think it will be there tomorrow, how do I get a message to him to sort it out if they have the wrong bank numbers because thinghs are going to get in arrears if he doesn't sort it out soon

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 1, 2010 at 11:05pm: I remember i used to tell my husband a hundred times to hang his clothes and now he probably got yelled for that. good times. my husband hated cleaning bathrooms it grossed him out lol thats why i am proud he went to bootcamp and i am proud he likes it. Crazy how people change.
