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 Vonecia(Seabee)SHIP07/DIV327 on October 3, 2011 at 4:31pm: I was happy to meet the ladies that I met and the ones that I didnt meet I still love you so happy for everybody... it amazing we all spent this experience together

Comment by iwagot on October 3, 2011 at 3:39pm: Back home, finally and able to access a computer. PIR was wonderful. Meeting people was wonderful. It was a truly great weekend. And my sailor and I are SO happy she now has her cell phone. Pensacola is a long way from home but at least we can now communicate without waiting days and days.

Comment by milomom 946/HM A-School on October 3, 2011 at 1:03pm: Made it through, boot camp that is. RTC is a great facility. Impressive.

Part of me wants to go back. Boot camp feels more controlled than what lies ahead. Let go and let God, right.

Thank you ladies for all your support, funny stories, comiserating.

Comment by Julie Ship 11 Div 321 on October 3, 2011 at 12:58pm: Thank you to all at the meet & greet, I had a great time meeting you all. Congrats to all. PIR was very emotional. HOOYA

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on October 3, 2011 at 12:21pm: Ladies, Congratulations on your new sailors! Don't forget to join your A school groups now. Just go to the Groups page and type in the place in the search. You will find them there. They have wonderful ladies (and some gentlemen too) on those groups who are a wealth of information. You are now starting another wonderful adventure as your sailor goes to A school.

Comment by desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on October 3, 2011 at 8:46am: Sandy its 14weeks but he said it will be any where from 2 to 3 weeks before he starts.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on October 3, 2011 at 7:32am: desireenavgf, how long is your Sailor's (A)school?

Comment by desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on October 3, 2011 at 7:12am: hello ladies made it back home from PIR late last night. Now its back to work time gggrrrr. PIR was amazing to bad it had to come to an end seeing my sailor broad the plane had to be the hardest thing to go through the tears could not stop flowing. Although he can now text and call me its still hard and i still miss him.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on October 3, 2011 at 12:48am: It is really hard to get used to them not living at home. Saying good bye at the end of PIR weekend was the worst. I have to admit that I cried just like you 1stlove. I will say that once your Son/daughter gets to (A)school and calls or Skypes you. You will feel a lot better. They have the freedom to contact you now that they are not in boot camp. You won't feel so isolated from them.

It gets easier as time goes by.

Comment by 1stlove (02/946) on October 2, 2011 at 11:01pm: Yes just dropped mine off and tears keep falling ugh I don't wanna cry anymore. Now I have long trip home tomorrow back to the real world and my other girls......love u ladies my new sistas
