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 shoprat on August 21, 2011 at 3:18pm: Thank you Kathy; I hope we get others from our ship/div. involved too; I think our Sailors will get a kick out of the effort we put into their PIR! :)

Comment by tygerh on August 21, 2011 at 3:08pm: tina - whatever you guys decide is okay with me just let me know

Comment by tina41 on August 21, 2011 at 3:04pm: hello white shirt with blue letters is ok with me just another suggestion--red shirts with blue lettering

boys r us---i am sorry i dont know how to post things are here if you can explain how to do it i will certainly give it a try

Comment by tygerh on August 21, 2011 at 2:52pm: OK 303 we need to get our shirt color picked. We lost the blue with gold letters so how about white with blue (navy) letters. I can't post it though because I am very limited on what I can do on these computers at work. What do you guys think about the colors?

Comment by shoprat on August 21, 2011 at 1:52pm: Hi Kathy, I'm game for any color really; how about navy with gold lettering?? I don't see that anyone else has chosen that combination... I also tried to copy and paste just for the heck of it (to the list of t-shirts), and had no luck; are you (hopefully) able to do that? Also, I agree that we should put "Sailor" and last name on back, not SR! I'd like to look into having them made; I tried to do some iron ons before my daughter left and the lettering doesn't look that great.

Comment by diannep on August 21, 2011 at 1:49pm: calbransmommy: Sorry, haven't seen anything posted about that hotel. We stayed at Residence Inn Waukegan and loved it.

But as long as it is clean and comfortable, I'm sure it is fine...you will be spending all of your time with your sailor!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 21, 2011 at 12:20pm: The Navy Mother's Creed and the prayer was written by myself :-)

Comment by Aproudmom on August 21, 2011 at 11:54am: DIV 314 will do Gold/Yellow shirts with blue lettering.

1. Adding colors to the PIR date in support of your ship and div. List the color you are choosing. Copy and re-post only line 1 down when you have added your color, copy and re-post so others do not choose your same color. Lets all do different colors if possible - Back of shirt says SR........(there Last Name) front of shirt SHIP02/DIV944 however you want to place it and of course our LALA ribbons.

2. SHIP02DIV944 - Navy Blue shirts with White Letters

3. SHIP12DIV312 -Red shirts with White Letters

4. Ship11div314-Gold/yellow shirts with Blue lettering

Comment by Boys R Us(ship07/div303) on August 21, 2011 at 11:37am: hey tina41 will you do me a favor? For some odd reason I can't copy and paste the shirt info like we are suppose to. Will you do it on our behalf and add our colors? Oh and yes to both your questions...Capital letters and Sailor(last name)...hope you have a great day!
