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 SRAT's Mom (Ship 03/Div 117) on February 24, 2012 at 1:46pm: So excited.... got a quick call from my SR! He said, "It's all good". He mailed the form letter last week, but we haven't gotten it yet, hopefully today! Anxious to have his address and know his SHIP/DIV. What a joy to hear his voice!

Comment by Rla1164 on February 24, 2012 at 1:40pm: @ilovemyabh. Yes PIR is April 13th. Now we need to make hotel plans, as we will be driving to PIR from MN.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 24, 2012 at 10:37am: yeah, the list can be changed and they will be asked to make changes or confirm the list about 2 weeks before PIR so just let her know who is coming.

Comment by mackay214(ship 02 Div 922) on February 24, 2012 at 9:50am: can she change her 4 people on her PIR list?

Comment by ilovemyabh on February 24, 2012 at 9:37am: Diannep- I really do! He has plans to have me very well taken care of while he's gone! I'm one very lucky girl! <3
Rla1164- is the PIR April 13th?! I'm stressing here lol. Ive learned to have fun while going through all this! =)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 24, 2012 at 9:36am: you are so right about weird weather. Yesterday it was 70 here, so unlike Feb weather. This morning it is very warm and you don't even need a jacket. Upper 60's. This evening a cold front is moving through and it will be in the 20's tomorrow morning with a small chance of snow. Some are even saying blizzard like weather because this is the exact same weather pattern we had in '93 when we got slammed with a blizzard. It is just so weird. I am supposed to have a yard sale tomorrow so we shall see lol.

Comment by diannep on February 24, 2012 at 8:55am: spring: Most of their activities are inside (other than marching and shoveling snow!!!). Believe me...they are toasty warm in their Navy attire. My son is a S FL boy--and PIRed in Feb 2010...thought of him with all of the snow they had that year...so I asked him this at his PIR. He told me that he never felt cold...they have very warm clothes that they have to wear.

Comment by Bob's mom on February 24, 2012 at 8:54am: There are mothers on this site who are more energetic than I ! While I was drinking my morning coffee, I saw that someone had posted "three hours ago". I sure hope that person lives in Hawaii, because that would have meant 3am my time.

Thank you FTLW for the post about Cracker Jacks. You are soooo right! Also, thank you for the information you are posting for us "newbies".

I take that "CODE BLUE" means snow, not cardiac arrest. I was wearing shorts this morning while walking the dogs! At the beginning of the week we had a dusting of snow. Weird weather this winter here in the South.

Reading through the Ship assignments it states that Ship 4 is the Recruit Convalescent Unit. I guess my SR is recovering from all the kisses and hugs he received before he left. Ship 4 Div 810

Comment by diannep on February 24, 2012 at 8:53am: asterzmom: You may want to start scanning piks onto the back of your letters to her...collage-style...so she can keep them. They have very limited storage space up there. That is why so many will want to mail all of their received letters back in a big envelope so you can keep them at home.

ilovemyabh: Sounds like you have a romantic "gem" in your SR! So thoughtful!
