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 JoeysmomAOVFA22 on July 31, 2010 at 10:03am: morning all! I cant believe that we are less then a month away. I really cant wait!!!

Comment by Sylvia*Cali-mom on July 31, 2010 at 9:54am: My husband saw online that this coming Friday there will be 11 divisions graduating at PIR. 11 Divisions!!! Obviously it varies week to week how many are graduating. I believe our PIR date on 8/27 there are 4 divisions graduating, right? Div. 285-288 and 941. Help me out ladies, if I got this wrong.

Comment by Sylvia*Cali-mom on July 31, 2010 at 9:40am: Kristina, you most hotels allow you to book a room (with a credit card) and they will hold your room for you. There is usually a 3 day cancellation policy. In other words, if by chance you need to cancel your room reservation you can cancel, as long as you do it up to 72 hrs (3 days) before. Then there is no room charge. Again, it's been our experience that MOST hotels have this policy. But double check! Good luck.

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on July 31, 2010 at 9:11am: Good Morning to All. You ladies are so funny! My spirits are always uplifted by hearing what kind of bantering is going on:-) KristinaR I do not know where you were planning to catch the bus in Texas but have your considered taking the train? We are taking the train from Fort Worth...it is somewhat cheaper than flying...and alot less hassle. Coach seats roundtrip to Chicago run about $200.00 each we also reserved a roomette for about $150.00 more. Takes longer, but I think less hassle than flying. Plus the reservations can be changed with no hassle. Well off to running before the heat comes....it is supposed to be 102 today :~*

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 31, 2010 at 1:53am: Not yet. Was waiting for his check to come which did but scared to book a room because what happens if i need to cancel. I am driving with my two kids to Chicago well maybe take greyhound from tx to there just debating because flying is to expensive for us.

Comment by Charlie's Desertmom on July 31, 2010 at 1:43am: div 287. and i am going to make all plans tomorrow.did you get flight and room already?

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 31, 2010 at 1:39am: Really you in Arizona too. Thats so awesome. Which division is your loved one in? Did you reserve your room yet?
