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 Horselover SHIP 11 DIV 322 on October 2, 2011 at 10:45pm: And with all of that............. gone again.

Keep telling myself we raise them to let them go. Now I need to start listening to myself.

Comment by Sandi-mom of 3 serving on October 2, 2011 at 9:04pm: Had a great time this weekend. My Sailor got held over (med papers need signed) so we got to spend all of Saturday with him in Chicago. Took the train, did the Sears Tower, water taxi, Navy Pier, Bus, Field Museam and a taxi. It was wonderful. Wish we could have stayed a few more days and do more with him, but work calls and school for our girl.

I hope everyone got to enjoy their Sailor. We made it!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by navymomsrock on October 2, 2011 at 9:02pm: PIR was wonderful. I can't believe how much my SR changed. It was great seeing everyone (even if we didn't offically meet). The boys and girls were wonderful.

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on October 2, 2011 at 12:54pm: Ahhhh...what a weekend. From the beginning to my flight being cancelled and my mental breakdown at the airport to a two hour drive to a different airport, nothing would of stopped me from being there, even if i had to ride a bike! lol Then I was up for 48 hours straight and now I am beginning to remember my first name, but it was the best weekend of my life. I am so proud and happy. It is truly something you will never forget!

love you all ladies and Bravo Zulu to our Sailor's!!!! I can't believe countdown says 0 now. I hated that thing last week. lol

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on October 2, 2011 at 8:58am: A group decision was made at the Meet & Greet and I have changed the name of our group to Alumni of . . . . It was soooo nice seeing everyone at graduation and the meet and greet. Putting names to faces and talking like we've known each other for years. Let's keep in touch girls! Finally home after a long and awesome weekend with my sailor.

Comment by Karen(Nick's Mom) on October 1, 2011 at 8:05pm: What a roller coaster of emotions! We went to Red Lobster to eat and I was amused that he insisted on eating with his overcoat on to protect his uniform. It was also nice to see how they were treated with respect wherever we went. Staff of the restaurant called him sir, thanked and congratulated him.

Comment by heard t on October 1, 2011 at 9:48am: Ok, PIR was great but this morning Ive had my first offical break down. She was amazing and have grown so much. But I MISS MY BABY. This is what she is dedicated to doing and Im proud, but its hard. Vonecia you are so funny. I can only imagine how you were looking at in laws (lol).

Comment by Horselover SHIP 11 DIV 322 on October 1, 2011 at 6:47am: diannep, it was AMAZING! The change in him is incredible! I dont want to let him go! He woke us up this morning at 5am to come get him!

He was able to come home for a couple hours after PIR, and the Sailor that wasnt getting any mail came with him, and will be with us again today!

Vonecia, you are cracking me up!
