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 RobertsGirl3609 [Ship02 DIV940] on June 30, 2011 at 3:27am: Hi ladies! My boyfriend left for boot camp a week ago and I have been writing him a letter every day. Is that too much? I can't wait to get a letter from him but I have NO idea when that will be. :/

Oh and I know this is probably a dumb question but what is PIR? I have been seeing that a lot and I have no idea what it is.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on June 24, 2011 at 3:25pm: The form letter should be there very soon!

Comment by Lyndsi on June 24, 2011 at 3:15pm: We dont know yet, haven't even received the form letter yet. but its either gonna be the 19th or 26th of august. that would be 8/9 weeks after he left. hoping i will get something soon. (fingers crossed)

Comment by abuon18 on June 24, 2011 at 11:41am: Mine leaves in 17 days....each day seems to be shorter and shorter the closer we get!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on June 21, 2011 at 7:45am: TThanks lyndsi. You ladies are incredibly helpful! I am feeling much better. Less than 40 days!

Comment by Lyndsi on June 21, 2011 at 1:01am: Its definitely hard to be so far from the person you love without any real contact, and the good thing is we all know what your going through here. I cried for the first few nights that he was gone but i feel good now. Granted i miss him more than any words could describe but what keeps me going is knowing that he wouldnt want me to be sad he would want me to be happy for him because he is doing something that will forever better his life and ours as a couple. Therefore im not sad im happy because its what he wants to do and it makes him happy. Knowing that he loves me, misses me, and is ALL mine forever and ever puts a smile on my face every day... even through the tears. :) happy anniversary and i hope there is many more to come, i can tell you truly cherish him.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on June 20, 2011 at 11:43pm: Thanks Florida girl. And true. But those would be his words exactly. "Stop crying. You're gonna make a wuss outta me and im gonna cry. And I don't cry" Haha. It was strange not having anything special today. For our 3 month he took me on a secluded old fashioned picnic:) most people would say cheesy. It was beautiful though.
