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 March 30, 2012 at 10:14pm: I just added a discussion above that is a questionnaire I made and sent to my Sailor just before battlestations at bootcamp. It is a little bit funny and it also has a great paragraph about teamwork and battlestations that gives lots of encouragement. Please look over it and even if you don't want to send another questionnaire you can copy and paste the encouraging part. I think it would be helpful for anyone at bootcamp. You can even print extra copies and let them share it with their friends. You may have to tweak it a little bit because my Sailor is a girl :-) I hope you like it!!! Enjoy :-D

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 30, 2012 at 9:18pm: Dianne I bet they are doing some of the battle stations early because of next week being Easter. Just a theory, who knows though.

After having my Sailor home for a few days with 6 week old puppy it made me want one really bad. I just have to keep reminding myself that we will be traveling a lot as we get older and don't really plan to have a four legged friend along lol. I best stay away from pet stores and humane societies lol.

Comment by CTsailor (03/118 PIR 4/13/12) on March 30, 2012 at 9:14pm: Good advice-- I will call ahead :) Better safe than sorry!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on March 30, 2012 at 8:40pm: CTsailor, It probably wouldn't hurt to call them ahead of time and check. I do know that at the Residence Inn, we had to make our reservation at the front desk when we checked in, but maybe the Springhill's policy is different,. Maybe since you are arriving so late, they will take the reservation over the phone.

Comment by CTsailor (03/118 PIR 4/13/12) on March 30, 2012 at 7:36pm: Diannep, thank you! My flight arrives late, so I won't be getting to the hotel until midnight...should I call the hotel ahead of time to let them know I will be riding on the shuttle in the morning or will it be okay to just tell them when I check in?

Comment by diannep on March 30, 2012 at 7:15pm: Yes, they use the PIR shuttle service, CTsailor. So does Residence Inn, others do also.

Comment by CTsailor (03/118 PIR 4/13/12) on March 30, 2012 at 6:35pm: Does anyone know if Springhill Suites has a shuttle to graduation??

Comment by spring932 on March 30, 2012 at 6:14pm: missmygirl...... you are in good company..... I think we are all "crazy" moms and there is bound to be plenty of red, white, blue and BLING!!!

Comment by Bob's mom on March 30, 2012 at 5:29pm: Sorry, NJ Navy Mom, I have a sign on my refrigerator that reads "Got rid of the kids, the dogs were allergic!"

Comment by littleone68 on March 30, 2012 at 5:24pm: i will be one of those moms with a red/white/blue mani :-) i even bought star glitters for my thumbs :-)
