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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 22, 2011 at 11:54pm: Ladies, I know that you have some time before thinking of this, but don't forget about Priceline.com if you have to book a rental car for PIR. I am going to see my sailor in Pensacola, but we are flying into Panama City and driving to Pensacola. I have been looking at rental car prices for a couple of weeks and didn't see anything less than $40 for the type of car that I wanted to rent. Ugh! Tonight, I thought, oh what the heck, I'll try Priceline. I stated that I wanted to pay $20 a day. I got a response back right away that they accepted that!. Woohoo, that saved me quite a bit of money over the course of 5 days. :)

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on August 22, 2011 at 11:04pm: proud2b, Wow! You got your Kid Box already?? That was quick.

I live in Colorado and it took a week to get The Kid Box. My Form Letter arrived a week after that.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 22, 2011 at 10:28pm: Oh ok, thanks. I was in New Mexico at the time, so my son's box would have had a few more days to travel. :) But, I could still be loslng it too, so I'll own that. lol

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 22, 2011 at 10:24pm: It may be bc we are only the next state over from illinois that i got my box today Betsy.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on August 22, 2011 at 10:21pm: Well, I guess I don't remember things as well as I thought. lol That's great that the box came so soon. I think it took about a week for us, but some in my group for longer. But, I am getting older and they say that the first thing to go is your mind, or in my case, probably my memory. ;) .

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 22, 2011 at 10:04pm: welcome to the group julie_silva

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 22, 2011 at 10:03pm: Hey MichiganNavyMom welcome to our group PIR. I am praying that you will get your box in tom or the next day.

Comment by Anne Darlene on August 22, 2011 at 8:56pm: Tanks, diannep, I'll give it a wirl!

Comment by MichiganNavyMom-Ship 4/Div. 341 on August 22, 2011 at 8:43pm: I'm so happy to hear that some of you have received your box and/or your form letter. Gives me something to be hopeful for...can't wait to get an address. I had already guessed that the PIR date would be 10/14. I love the countdown clock too :) Well, after reading, I guess I'm gonna change my username. Not sure what yet...??? Have a great evening everyone!!!
