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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 15, 2011 at 10:29pm: Sorry I was MIA today, I spent the whole day working on the PIR ribbons. :-)

My sailor is coming home for Labor day and they are going to have a real wedding for their first anniversary. (they got married at the court house while she was in A-school, 4 days before her hubby went to boot camp.) Nothing like short notice lol. Lots of planning and lots of phone calls not enough time for invitations lol.

I hope everyone had a great day.

To add to Pennie's list:

Residence Inn, Springhill Suites, and Courtyard Inn are all about 4-5 miles away. All have PIR shuttle. All are Marriotts. We stayed at Residence (offers the larger 2 bdrm 2 bth suites and also studio suites...all with full kitchens). Very nice. Free buffet breakfast. Residence is also "pet friendly" for those driving who want to reunite their sailors with their pets!
