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 Michigan Cindy on December 14, 2010 at 4:41am: You will soon be receiving a form letter that will give you his PIR date, and also some other valuable information. It's hard to be patient, but you'll make it easier on yourself if you just relax. He is in good hands.

Comment by Anita MA Mom on December 14, 2010 at 3:24pm: You should be getting that Form letter from the Navy but addressed buy your Son soon. I think ours came after 1 week or a little over. You will have a small letter (5 lines ) from him written at the bottom. This letter will have other stuff you will need to keep . Best of luck to you. Use this website and get on you PIR website and Chat with Moms on there. You will love becoming friends with the other Moms. My Prayers are with you. Our PIR IS THIS FRI. I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MY SON!!!
