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."

I sent one to Rick. But I sorta sent it incognito~ LOL I placed it between two letters in a large envelope (shrug), maybe it'll work?
Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 9, 2010 at 2:51pm
lol lets hope they have a very large shuttle!!!!
Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 9, 2010 at 2:34pm
I am told that they do have access to phone cards from the nex and can buy them on sundays. Better to be safe than sorry and send one in case they dont make it to the nex and then get a call.
Gspengleri thanks for the link- that ansered all of the questions and then some!
Comment by RicksWifeAmber on February 9, 2010 at 2:31pm
Gspengleri ~ hmmm not sure about that but considering they told us to send plenty with them... I'm thinking to be on the safe side pick her up one and mail it out to her just in case. Then she can always call and tell you whether she can or can't purchase them @ the NEX.

lol monica, I may just be that crazy too. I will be bringing my mother and my 17 yr old son and Derecks 16 yr old girlfriend. I am hoping not to run into any problems with her being a minor who doesnt have an ID. All I expect to have is her birth certificate. Her mother is trying to get her ID but really cant affor to take off work since she is a single mother of 4. I am praying that her birth certificate will suffice. My sister and her daughter will also be flying in and will attend PIR if they let them in. If not, they are happy to just spend liberty weekend with my son and watch the video. I definitely want to be there early enough that if we run into any problems, IE traffic, birth certificate, whatever, that I will still be able to attend PIR

cudawn Ship 07 Div 103, no I haven't heard if she passed anything but since I haven't gotten a phone call I assume she passed.

Rickswife, I hope they can call that often. Can they get phone cards at the NEX or should we send them?

crystaldj1972, here is the link to the graduation schedule.

OH! since my sons graduation packet got sent to his dads, can yall tell me what time PIR is going to be starting? I did call and get the password to download the parking passes, but think I will be taking the shuttle to and from the ramada to avoid driving.. (I am so scared to drive in the snow since I had my wonderful little encounter with black ice on a bridge a few years ago.) I understand the shuttle leaves at 7 am, but was wondering how long of a wait we would have before graduation starts
