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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 10, 2012 at 12:31pm: I sat near the top on the bleachers great view...got an end seat too as I hate to climb over people. Couldn't just sit there, had to walk around...and I don't know WHAT was up but we were HOT at PIR. It was end of May (it rained) but even then people have always reported being cold!

I still brought a shawl that I could fold up and sit on...tush gets cold on metal benches and it just seeps in!

Don't set anything down on the bench that is thin like a camera, cell phone, etc. The floors of the bleachers are solid except underneath the seats there are openings just wide enough and about a foot (?) long for modern day devices to fall through...it is like a black hole...you won't get it back.

I used carabiners on my purse to attach things too. Don't forget binos if you have them!

Oh and they sell the Sailors hat (mens style), aka lid, aka "dixie cup" in a kiddie size for $5. They'll want to wear mommy's or daddy's hat and this is not allowed.

Comment by Teach on April 10, 2012 at 12:25pm: Anybody know where Sarge's Meet and Greet is? I can't seem to find the info for this week.

Comment by Teach on April 10, 2012 at 12:23pm: So glad we are leaving tomorrow. I don't think I could work one more day. I LOVE teaching school, but these kids are driving me CRAZY today! Wonder why? LOL

Comment by diannep on April 10, 2012 at 8:22am: Fay: We were there in the dead of winter and it was quite comfortable inside the PIR Hall. Some attending in the warmer months have said it is chilly in there, so make sure you have a light sweater/jacket.

Comment by diannep on April 10, 2012 at 8:20am: Good Morning, all. Hoping you hear from 922/119/120 this afternoon (we think!). Phones handy all day!

Comment by Mom91 on April 10, 2012 at 7:20am: Candle was lit all night and many prayers went out for our SR's last night/this morning. Let's hope we get some calls coming in! Hopefully this will be the best Tue some of us have had for 8 weeks!
