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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 2, 2012 at 9:26pm: Thanks ryanfoodmom, I am so glad you like everything :-) I bet his step-sisters will be very happy to have them.

seabreeze, I don't know if they all get a second one but I have heard of several who posted they got a second shot so I am sure it is normal :-)

Comment by ryanfoosmom on April 2, 2012 at 8:12pm: I got my ribbons and candle today. Thank you Lala, they are wonderful. I ordered extras for my step daughters just so they can put them somewhere to remember their brother.

Yeah, now I just need to know when BS is for Div 119 so I know when to light the candle. If anyone knows what day, please email it to me.

Comment by Freese71 on April 2, 2012 at 7:53pm: Momof4, I'm pretty sure they have to stay there (@ airport) I know once my son swore in that was it.... They brought him to our airport (we meet him) but they had to check right in and that was it they could not leave. So don't see why this would be any different... Sorry I know every min counts....

Comment by momof4 on April 2, 2012 at 7:33pm: Anyone know the answer??

Once our SR's are at the airport, can they leave and return prior to their trip or do they have to stay until they leave. If their flight allows a little time to get away, it would be great to do something other than hang at the airport.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 2, 2012 at 7:04pm: Honor Graduates are posted late on Wednesday afternoon. I will TRY to remember to post a Discussion with the lonk for y'all!

Comment by spring932 on April 2, 2012 at 7:03pm: mamabeans....... My SR ordered them for me I was just wondering if I would be getting them from her of if they were being shipped home. You will have to take a picture and share with us :)

Comment by Teach on April 2, 2012 at 6:48pm: Spring-sounds good to me...paper that cubicle. I printed out the picture from the FB page on a full sheet of paper, even though all I can see is one eye and the top of his head! Who cares, it's him!

Comment by Recruit Man - Ronny on April 2, 2012 at 5:59pm: I don't know if you all have seen it, but You Tube has a great clip done by CNN on Battle Stations 21. I added it to <a href=callsforrecruits.org>Calls for Recruits</a> website. It looks like a pretty demanding test.......

Comment by mamabeans on April 2, 2012 at 5:57pm: proudmom... shin spints are SUPER common. And easy to "deal with". My son got them too. Ice, stretching and ibuprofen and power through it!

Comment by mamabeans on April 2, 2012 at 5:55pm: I ordered them.

The deadline was last Friday. I posted here about it. Sorry if you missed it. You can always order them, just not in time for PIR.
