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 ProudMominJersey on May 18, 2012 at 4:11pm: Lala -- love love LOVE the ribbons!!!! They look wonderful!!! Thank you so much for the timely turnaround too!!!

Comment by ctav01 on May 18, 2012 at 2:33pm: We got our fourth letter yesterday and our daughter sounded much more upbeat. She wrote that their division had only one flag so far and she wanted to get more! Plus she's looking forward to the fire fighting and the gas chamber!!! She also wrote that her division is still around 80 people because as they get people ASMO'd out, more get ASMO'd in. And she passed her PFA and a WTI (Weapons Turnover Inspection) and a Personal Inspection but she's still sick with a pretty bad cough and she doesn't want to go to medical and maybe miss something. Wow, what a change from her first letter and phone call.

Have a good weekend everybody!

Comment by SarahsMom(Ship03/Div176) on May 17, 2012 at 10:41pm: Hi LaLa, I have had a voice recital, spaghetti supper and Choir concert for my 15 year old this week on top of working so been a little short of free time. End of the school year is really busy. Choir and Baseball banquets on Fri and Sat then Im done!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 17, 2012 at 10:00pm: Where is everyone? I have been stalking this page all day and still no activity. Good night all :-)

Comment by diannep on May 16, 2012 at 4:28pm: To the person(s) who were upset with no Mothers Day call...I know it was so disappointing. But they have 4,000-5,000+ SRs/sailors at RTC at one time....no way all could call home on the limited phones they have. Also, they want you all to get ready for "the fleet" when your sailor may be miles away and not be able to contact you on special days...sigh...just know that-- phone call or not-- you know that your SRs were thinking of all of you mamas on Sunday! :-)

Comment by SarahsMom(Ship03/Div176) on May 16, 2012 at 12:26pm: Working, working.... So I can take off for PIR, leaving 3 weeks from this morning!! YEAH!

Comment by diannep on May 16, 2012 at 7:47am: Good morning everyone!

Comment by diannep on May 15, 2012 at 8:04am: SarahsMom: So glad that her medical waiver was accepted and she was able to re-enlist! We had heard that even with waivers, it is hard to get back in now since the Navy is so overmanned...but your daughter's experience proved that statement not always to be true...so thanks for the encouragement! Blessings to your daughter!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 15, 2012 at 6:58am: Thanks so much SarahsMom, I am so glad you love the PIR ribbons and I know you will wear them proudly :-)
