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 Kahli's Mom on April 4, 2012 at 8:53pm: I don't know about you all, but I can hardly think straight right now. My stomach is just in knots, I am so nervous about these next couple of days. I am praying for all of our SR's. Please let us all hear good news!

Comment by Rla1164 on April 4, 2012 at 8:21pm: Thank you Dianne. I told her what you said and suggested she check here when she is off work.

Comment by mackay214(ship 02 Div 922) on April 4, 2012 at 7:40pm: I know she was having a hard time in pt. if she didnt pass first time ( I know She did) wouldnt call come today?

Comment by diannep on April 4, 2012 at 7:32pm: Rla1164: I'm so sorry. BUT...tell your friend not to cancel travel plans...because--she will get more chances to pass that run before PIR. She will be transferred to FIT PROGRAM and will be given a chance to try again every 48 hours. So her next try would be on Friday, and then she can try next week Monday and Wednesday if need be. Please tell your friend to join the following group:

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/fitprogram

The ladies on there are very helpful. If she passes, she will then go through BattleStations with the next group going and will be at PIR. She can usually go through BattleStations as late as the night before PIR if need be. She would be at PIR in uniform, in that case, but in the balcony, too tired to march (although some manage to march anyway).

Please have her message me if she wants more info. This happens in every PIR group and most make the run before PIR...if they don't, they stay in FIT until they do...then when they finally make it, they have no PIR and are flown directly to A School. I know of one girl who was held in FIT for 3 weeks after her intended PIR time, but finally did it and is a sailor.

Comment by mackay214(ship 02 Div 922) on April 4, 2012 at 7:28pm: That's what I'm thinking no news till that I'm a Sailor call is good news!

Comment by Freese71 on April 4, 2012 at 7:23pm: Have they????? Haven't heard anything on my end. But I think that's a good thing not to hear anything till after BS. The I'm a Sailor call.
