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 diannep on July 28, 2011 at 11:48am: Anyone attending PIR who is active duty or retired military must have military ID to be excluded from the guest list of 4 (they would get right in then, not have to wait with the "extras" for seating).

Comment by diannep on July 28, 2011 at 11:41am: Thanks for changing the PIR position, sheshe!

Comment by diannep on July 28, 2011 at 8:34am: Well, Lala makes lovely ribbons for everyone who wants them. Check out her page! She charges very nominally for these, just to cover her minimum costs.

Comment by tina41 on July 28, 2011 at 8:18am: diannep----im not sure yet i am looking for a project to help stay busy i was thinking of a shirt (got the idea on here from another navy mom) and ribbons im not too crafty, but im gonna try i am also going to have my other two boys make a poster and i am going to take a picture of it to send to my son

Comment by diannep on July 28, 2011 at 8:08am: sheshe: Can you move the "PIR" before the date in the title of this group rather than having it after?

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on July 27, 2011 at 10:54pm: If you have just joined us in the group here. WELCOME!

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on July 27, 2011 at 10:51pm: We as in the 4 of us at home. All turned off the TV and wrote to our SR tonight. Each our own letter all in one envelope. Was kool doing that as a family. I am stoked and cannot wait until the 9th or so when we can start receiving our own letters. My son said he does not think I can write to him every night while he is in BC. HA! A mothers love will do many things. I love to write to him about our day and ask questions. It helps so much to get through.

Comment by Pennie on July 27, 2011 at 10:27pm: Changed my name my husband set me up on this web site and we really should have thought it through before we used his name so now I have changed it to mine. Finally got home and read the form letter it was so good to see that brief note on the bottom. He said he was doing good. Things were rough at times but that he is managing. The letter makes me feel a little at ease. However, is some ways it makes me miss him more.
