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 Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 15, 2013 at 9:27pm: Once I have helped this college bound twinkle of mine fill in a LAST MINUTE OH MY GOODNESS WHY DIDN'T THEY SEND IT BEFORE MOM form - I am going to share why they are called twinkles !

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 15, 2013 at 9:24pm: See what Twinkle 2 has done to me!

Yes PIR is 10/4!

Co-Twin - totally thought they were told what and how to write cos the 0 had a / through it - and I thought that is nothing that she would've done!

Of course twinkle 1 is due to call Sunday? Week 3 and I will be flying to Pittsburgh so we have been playing with call forwarding from my cell and guess what ???? It works!!!

Twinkle 2 is going to Duquesne! Thanks for putting it in Co-Twin!

Wonder how Cathy is? Saw pics on her fb and Gregory looks so good and ready to go!!

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 15, 2013 at 9:18pm: Disy...too funny about Twinkle 2. She is probably just so excited about getting her new life started too. I laughed hard when you said you had a pour a glass of wine. Good to hear you got your PIR letter even though it made you concerned. Just think though...now you can send those letters that you've been DYING to get in the mail to your SR. When will your daughter PIR? Crossing my fingers that she will get to call you sometime soon just so you can feel more at ease.

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 15, 2013 at 9:17pm: Well whats the date?

I PM'ed the group on the cheat sheet, two page outline!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 15, 2013 at 9:10pm: They are ordered to print legibly. I hadn't been able to read Twin 1's writing for years He printed so neatly no one believed he wrote it. He still is writing neatly.

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 15, 2013 at 8:51pm: Oh got the PIR letter - kinda strange - writing was all in capital letters and looked stressed! Didn't make me feel better but at least I got it!

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 15, 2013 at 8:50pm: Sierrascrapper - On goodness twinkle 2 was like that today - she was bouncing off the walls !!! I took her to the market to get food in and had to tell her to stop 'cos I could not focus on the shopping I needed to get in! She was a mile a minute - she's just walked in now and she's still the same !! oh my goodness ! Leaves on Sunday - maybe it is nerves or something !!! Phew I am going to go and hide ..... She's talking the dog for a walk!! I am going to pour myself some wine!!!

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 15, 2013 at 8:20pm: She was talking about a set 1. in GC 2. in BC Not my set. He ought to invite their mom to join us. Might be Shell or CindyB. They don't post, wish they would.
