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 SarahsMom(Ship03/Div176) on May 12, 2012 at 2:47pm: Stand by your phones- Division 176 is making phone calls this afternoon.I just talked to my daughter for 30minutes

Comment by C's proud mom (Ship 3 Div 175) on May 12, 2012 at 10:44am: Good morning! I have a question for tzutaurian or anyone else familiar with chicago! Where is a good place to get some good food, maybe pizza or chinese near the base? And is there a movie theatre nearby where I wont get lost? :-) I wont fly in early enough to make it to any of the meet and greets. Years ago when I was in chicago there was a really good pizza place. Famous in the area, but probably downtown. My son says he wants "real food" when we take him out after grad. :-) thanks for any help!

Comment by diannep on May 12, 2012 at 9:43am: Good morning everyone! Wow, this site is very quiet. My post is just two above FTLW's "good morning" greeting from yesterday! Where are all of you? :-)

Hope all have a Happy Mothers Day weekend!

Comment by Wyobraskamom on May 12, 2012 at 12:11am: Hi everyone,

I added a discussion above about my experience at my sons PIR on 5/4/12. One of the other veteran moms ask that I share! Hope it is helpful in some way to all of you! Hang in there everyone, times goes faster than you think :)

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 11, 2012 at 12:16pm: Good Morning!

I'm sorry...I did make a Discussion for your Meet & Greets...unfortunately I cannot put it in the text box area...I don't have access...so I will bump it up. It has info for the three known M & G's. I hear that a couple of the other hotels do something for the folks staying at them too.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 10, 2012 at 10:06pm: I think they need to add more phone and definitely need to replace some of the phones they have. Some of them are terrible. I am sure they will read my post and get right on it hahahahahahaha
