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."

“BLOG OPS” PIR 05/26/2011 Mission 2: Arriving at Great Lakes/Rental Car

The flight went off without a hitch. I do suggest bringing your own snacks and definitely buying a bottled water once past security. We arrived hungry and THIRSTY. Beverages were free but we are big water drinkers.

It also helps to keep anything you want to “do” in your purse or smaller carry on. That way you don’t have to get into the one you’ve stored up top. I REALLY did not want to bonk anyone in the…

"BLOG OPS" PIR 05/26/2011 MISSION 1 Getting to the Airport/Security Check cont.

"BLOG OPS" PIR 05/26/2011 Mission 1 - Getting to the Airport/Security Check

Once the remaining members of the fireteam were ready, we piled into the POV and set off to meet up with PUBTRANS to get us to the AP.

The Flyaway Bus.

We made it in the nick-of-time to catch the 05:15 AM bus. Flight leaves at 07:00.

Yes, I was cutting it close.

Everyone was pleasant and helpful so far and it continued at the AP. The line to go through security was ASTOUNDING! I had no idea.

Does the term "cattle call" come to mind?! Mooooo.

Luckily…

"BLOG OPS" PIR 05/26/2011

NOTE: This Mission started on the 2011/05/24 but was not published due to extreme fatigue.

Day 1 is at a close and it is late and I NEED to go to bed! It's hard too though as I am thoroughly enjoying myself! There is one cloudy situation for me but it is of my own doing and I will write about that later. ;-)

I'm…
