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 m'smom on July 9, 2010 at 11:45pm: Was thinking about Navy Lodge. May call tomorrow and see about availability. Will let you guys know what they say.

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on July 9, 2010 at 11:35pm: We are staying at the Navy Lodge. Have already made the reservations. We are going to take the adventurous way up there---via train.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 9, 2010 at 8:18pm: No not yet waiting for the packet.

Comment by m'smom on July 9, 2010 at 8:16pm: Anyone know where they are staying for PIR yet?

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on July 9, 2010 at 6:54pm: Hi CathyJ- Ah that's why we are all here...to help each other. The USS Arleigh Burke is ship number 4. There are lots of moms whose children are also in that division and on that ship.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 9, 2010 at 6:54pm: We will. I will keep my fingers cross as well.

Comment by m'smom on July 9, 2010 at 6:33pm: I am further East 6:30 here.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on July 9, 2010 at 6:23pm: Ship. 4

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 9, 2010 at 5:29pm: KristinaR - it's a good thing he is already married! My son had quite a few married men in his division. For those that are not married and are thinking about it, here's some advice!

Getting married while in the Navy: I have seen a lot of posts over the last couple of months of people getting engaged while at bc or A-school, but I need to remind everyone that no one can get married over PIR weekend, they need to wait until they finish A-School - and even then, they must get permission from the Navy to get married. The USN is not your typical employer! "Hoppi aka Angie", who is on N4M quite a bit, works at Great Lakes A-School and she has a wealth of info on this. So... if any of your recruits is considering marriage, talk to her first!

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on July 9, 2010 at 5:05pm: Oh btw I received "the letter" plus another letter just a few minutes ago. All is right with the world.
