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 roe821 (Ship 02/ Div 948) on October 11, 2011 at 3:01pm: Just got my call I'm the proud Mom of United States Sailor!!!!!

Comment by Kris' proud mom on October 11, 2011 at 2:56pm: Can they have personal belongings after PIR to take with them when they leave?

Comment by Karen on October 11, 2011 at 2:52pm: I'm taking my son's glasses so he won't have to wear the BC glasses :) Swedish fish, beef jerky & buck sticks too!

Comment by roe821 (Ship 02/ Div 948) on October 11, 2011 at 2:47pm: You and I are thinking on the same wave length. For my Sailor I'm bring tide to go pens, lint brush, boxers from home, Ipod, cell phone (chargers) and what ever else I can think of. Don't forget your car from home's insurance card if you are renting a car and want to drive to PIR, all your necessary ids, and tissues for happy tears. Oh and my SR loves homemade cupcakes so I'm baking cupcakes and trying to bring a few in my carryon (lol).

Comment by Kris' proud mom on October 11, 2011 at 2:31pm: I was going to ask the same thing Brians mom.. i know the parking pass, but i thought we had to bring other things as well.. aside from cameras, ect... Im starting to pack as i wait for my "im a sailor" phone call!!! We are all getting excited!!!!

Comment by Briansmom on October 11, 2011 at 2:13pm: Are there any last minute tips we need to know while we're all preparing for our trips? I read some earlier but it's been so long that I can't remember where they are.

Comment by Kris' proud mom on October 11, 2011 at 9:07am: I really hope my SR did BS21 last night!!! I really NEEEED his phone call!! We are all waiting to hear!! Then i can officially start packing! 2 days 23 hours....... =)

Comment by diannep on October 11, 2011 at 9:03am: Prayers, nsjc04, for your daughter! Her shipmate sounds like an angel to keep you informed.

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on October 11, 2011 at 8:22am: 3 more days ladies and we will see our sailors. It feels so good to be able to say sailor instead of SR lol I know some of you still haven't gotten the call yet but you will. I am sending prayers up for all.
