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 shermur (ship 12 div 121) on March 29, 2012 at 7:32am: @ Bob'sMom..my little 11 yr old daughter saw the pics of the puppies and she asked if she could have one! I stated the puppies are too far away and they need their mama! They are adorable, though! We have a 14 yr old border collie holding on....she's been the best dog ever. Her health is slipping though...it will be kind of a challenge to go to PIR and leave her home. She can't travel anymore with us.

Got a letter yesterday from SR daughter; she stated she is FFD? What does that mean....?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 29, 2012 at 6:00am: Jamie, I will keep your recruit and you in my thoughts and prayers. If it is shin splints they do heal pretty quickly with rest and sometimes the recruits are not delayed as long as expected. Please let us know when you hear from him. Hang in there we are all here for you <3

Comment by Teddyandpameaves on March 29, 2012 at 12:29am: Oh my goodness, Bob's mom...those are the most beautiful puppies. I told you I just love puppy breath. Mom is beautiful, too.

Sorry to hear your news, Jamie Sailor. 'Can't imagine how you feel...I'll be praying for you and your SR.
