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 April 19, 2012 at 6:53pm: Lala RQ, How do we purchase these adorable ribbons?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 19, 2012 at 6:42pm: It is really unusual for them to get a call this soon. Normally if they call this early it is because they need info for security purposes. Happy that some of you got to talk to them though :-)

Paula you could still send a calling card. They can get them at the nex if they don't have one but if they are buying one so they can make a call the call could end up being really short because they had to spend time getting a card. Sorry your PIR is a week later than you expected.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 19, 2012 at 6:11pm: PaulaP - Sorry you got a later date...Would you be interested in starting the 06/15/2012 PIR group? :-)

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 19, 2012 at 5:38pm: What a let down. I was praying for 6/8 date but read a post on fb from a mother whose son is ship 11/div 177 and they have a 6/15 PIR date. buummmmeeeerrrrr

Comment by PaulaP (Ship11/Div 178) on April 19, 2012 at 5:12pm: Ok, my dear son told me he didn't need a calling card and he got to call on Sunday and didn't call collect. So, should I send him an activated calling card?

Comment by KaywaaB on April 19, 2012 at 1:34pm: Right after saying I havent gotten any phone calls. I JUST GOT ONE ^____^ No bad news but it was so nice to hear his voice. woohoo!

Comment by ctav01 on April 19, 2012 at 1:34pm: RobertsMom: got my form letter on Tuesday.

Comment by RobertsMom on April 19, 2012 at 1:30pm: My son arrrive GL late evening on 4/10 - has anyone received a form letter yet for this ship/div?

Comment by KaywaaB on April 19, 2012 at 12:40pm: I REALLY like looking at the countdown on the page... somehow it makes it seem a lot closer than thinking its 7ish more weeks. I made a chain to countdown until my husband comes home... and its so looong that I dont really even like looking at it yet.

I havent gotten a call since the "I'm here" call.. and it makes me sorta sad but I'm just glad that nothing has gone wrong and I'd rather just wait for the call in the middle.

Comment by diannep on April 19, 2012 at 10:28am: Welcome navywife12!

I will be off the site until Sunday or Monday. Hope all have a wonderful weekend!
