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 Margie 07/345 on August 24, 2011 at 4:00pm: Thanks for the advice Dianne, although my son may not have a room to move back into, the vultures ( his younger sisters ) have already started circling and its only been a week! I had to inform them the room will be off limits for quite some time......baby steps.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 24, 2011 at 3:48pm: Yay, Diane!

Comment by ProudSailorMom on August 24, 2011 at 3:46pm: Got my form letter today. So glad the address matched what his recruiter gave me. He left Aug 17th so I am impressed that I now have his box and his letter and its only been a week.

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 3:25pm: "Word of Caution." For any of you who have children who "move out" to their own places for a couple of years...just know that if they move back, they come home with LOTS of stuff! UGH! Trying to consolidate my older son back into my household (rental condo was short-sold and he was given little notice to get out)...well, not fun. He is a "collector of things" and I am not! HA! One step at a time...that's what I'm saying!

Also, if anyone buys a queen bed, a headsup! Be sure to ask for the "split" boxspring (2 separate ones)..Queen-sized boxsprings don't fit so well up narrow or curved stairs. My "handy" son will have to cut his boxspring, then fold it in half, then re-establish it up in his room....thanks, youtube, for showing him how!

Comment by Margie 07/345 on August 24, 2011 at 1:40pm: I didnt get a chance to login yesterday, but I was catching up this morning and noticed some of you have started receiving boxes and letters...yay! I'm going to run home (actually drive) during my lunch hour and check the mail...fingers crossed.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 24, 2011 at 12:38pm: No proud, thank YOU! This is YOURS and also the members group, and any changes you would like to make are fine with me! So let me know of you have any.
I just have info I like to put out and am trying to make it "work" in the group. The Pages section is fairly new and I don't like clogging up the discussion area. So I am trying to "stay out of the way" but also have this information easy to find.
BTW, the only reasonnI add "Posted by fireteamleaderwife" on each one is that the pages section does not do that. That's because only the creator or administrator. can add/make changes in the pages section. This way you can see the original poster of the material and then who put it there. Now you know who to string up if you need to make a comment about the post in general!

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 24, 2011 at 7:42am: Thank fire i really appriciate everything you are helping me with I would have never thought about doing something like that

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 24, 2011 at 7:05am: Oh, one of the reasons I have done this is to leave the discussion area for your DIV discussions that will be forming. This way I don't clog up the DF area. Then you can also start your own discussions about whatever you like!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 24, 2011 at 7:03am: Dear Group,

I have made some changes to this PIR group regarding information.

There is now a video and I have moved all of my posts from the Discussion Forum to the Pages section.

I am "experimenting" to see how this works!

Hope you like it and of course ALL comments suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!
