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 Lamarmama 09/139 on February 24, 2011 at 12:40am: Brenda Sue, I started a page for my sons division, but no comments. Does it take awhile for people to comment or does it have to be approved? Just curious.

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 23, 2011 at 11:31pm: Thanks! Me too!

Comment by Kimberly on February 23, 2011 at 11:28pm: I hope your sisters feel better soon

Comment by Kimberly on February 23, 2011 at 11:28pm: Aw Brenda Sue-- next time

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 23, 2011 at 11:18pm: Mine called about 1 or 2 in the morning! Don't worry - you will soon start taking showers with your phone! It is now an extension of your body!

Comment by Pearl Harbor MA on February 23, 2011 at 11:11pm: So how long after they arrive do they get to make the call? His plane landed about 7:30...

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 23, 2011 at 11:08pm: Ladies, sorry - but I'm going to have to cancel this weekend. Both my sisters got sick and I don't want to go alone. Sorry - but hopefully another time.

Comment by Lamarmama 09/139 on February 23, 2011 at 9:10pm: Good evening to everyone. I got "the box" today and cried, but at least now I know he is on his way to becoming the man I know he can be. Need to finish up my letter to send. Hope everyone is doing well.

Comment by Brenda Sue on February 23, 2011 at 8:18pm: Lamarmama - I couldn't find a group for you PIR date. I suggest YOU start it! Name it something pretty general like "PIR 04/22/11" so that others can find it. Within that group - start discussions with each ship or division! Then, start arranging the meet and greet and where to stay!

Have fun! Enjoy!!!

Comment by Lamarmama 09/139 on February 23, 2011 at 1:04pm: It looks like my son's PIR date will be April 22. Does anyone else have any information on this ?
