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."

I wanted to ask about this topic as it has a deep impact on how twins relate to each other. This will be good future reference for other Navy Twin Moms as their sons leave for BC. I only have one…Continue

Comment by CO-TwinSalorsMom on August 13, 2013 at 1:53am: Oh look at your sailors, how identical they are! One wears BC glasses? One of mine does also. Got contacts the minute his feet hit A School grounds. Glad you had a wonderful time, PIR is quite the experience. Did they announce anything about having twins in one division? Soooo cool congratulations.

Comment by twinsailorsmom on August 13, 2013 at 1:06am: ok and just one more then I will leave you ladies alone . . .

Comment by Sierrascrapper (ETN2) on August 13, 2013 at 1:05am: Twinsailorsmom...your boys are ADORABLE. So glad that everything went so well and you enjoyed the time with your boys. Congratulations to you and your family :)

Comment by twinsailorsmom on August 13, 2013 at 1:02am: Hello Ladies!! I missed you guys this weekend! So many things were posted that I so wanted to comment on but I could not get my iPhone to let me comment. I even had my 17 year old help and still I could not do it.

I had a GREAT weekend with my new Sailors!! PIR was WONDERFUL! Our US NAVY really does a GREAT job!

@Doubletrouble be sure and plan to attend Sarge's Meet N Greet. He has so much GREAT info. Saved us lots of time on PIR morning!! And as I just went through this if you have any questions I would be happy to answer them!!

Here are a few pictures of my boys . . .

I just wanted to share this with you all ! Do you know there are up to 6000 Sailors on a carrier! These ladies need all the help they can get so if you fancy doing a few goodie bags do think about signing up for this! Some people do 100's but I don't think I could afford to do that many so will aim a bit lower!

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 12, 2013 at 10:17pm: With that said I did trust our information slightly more because it came directly from the Chief - with our recruiter (God love him!) I would have been a bit more skeptical!

I am not too worried about the PIR letter - it will come!!

Glad it wasn't too bad saying goodbye! {{{{{ hugs }}}}}}

Sierrascrapper - thanks for the Mad libs I printed it out and we had such a laugh!

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 12, 2013 at 10:11pm: Doubletrouble the current list of PIR's is under PIR Reference Information Group - but don't forget that Cathy and I had kids leave the same day and we are in different PIR groups so don't get too hooked on one group! Either wait for the letter or if you trust your recruiter you could ask him!
