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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 27, 2011 at 9:19am: Kelseykat, When my son was in BC, while speaking of our SR's, our PIR group referred to our SR's by their first initial. It's not a good idea to use first or last names on here. Sometimes, the RDC's read posts on here and I'm sure that you wouldn't want anything to get back to him while he is in BC. It's also better for security reasons not to use their name.

Comment by Kelseykat2 (07/307) on July 27, 2011 at 2:43am: Also sheshe866 I look at those pictures and see Pryce all the time hahaha. It is hard not to. I am not getting my hopes up to much on those darn pictures! >:\ Defiantly since they have been cropping out the flags.

Comment by Kelseykat2 (07/307) on July 27, 2011 at 2:35am: Pryce, my boyfriends: Ship 7 Div 307
Miss him sooo much :o

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on July 26, 2011 at 11:24pm: Welcome everyone. I am Sheila. Son in Ship 2 Div 944. Anyone else in this one?

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on July 26, 2011 at 11:22pm: Ship2DIV944?

Does anyone recognize anyone in this photo?

I think my son is in this photo... but it may be wishful thinking.

Comment by tina41 on July 26, 2011 at 10:41pm: yeah, i really like the count down too! it shows that time isnt standing still even though it may fell like it sometimes

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 26, 2011 at 10:17pm: sheshe, I sent you all the info on the ribbons. They are 4 for $30 and that includes Priority shipping. You can get fewer or more than four so just let me know what you need. They are about the size of your hand depending on how long the name is. They are not the tiny little ribbons that are hard to see and they are not frilly so even the men/dads are happy to wear them. Hear is a couple of pics.

Comment by tygerh on July 26, 2011 at 9:18pm: By the way, I love the countdown to PIR at the beginning of the group page.
