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 SRsailormoon on September 21, 2013 at 3:58pm: Juliemom, I think they were mistaken. I was originally told San Diego, at least they had the "Miss" part right in yours. Lol

Comment by JulieMom on September 21, 2013 at 1:47pm: Hello Ladies - Does anyone know if there is a Logistics A School as well in Missouri? We were initially told our sailor would be attending A School in Missouri for LS. Perhaps they were mistaken? Thanks and God Bless our Sailors.

Comment by fredsmom on September 20, 2013 at 10:01am: Navymom17- they usually have them fly out on Saturday after PIR. You will get all the information from your sailor at PIR. After PIR you will have about 8 hrs to spend with your sailor before he/she has to back at barracks and then all of the sailors leave and get to the airport around 12am. You can meet them there and stay with them until their plane leaves. O'Hare has 2 USO buildings for military and their families.

Comment by navymom17 on September 19, 2013 at 7:55pm: Has anyone heard when the PIR 9/27 group is leaving for Meridian
