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."

Looks like his PIR (Pass In Review=graduation) date will either be 9/2 or 9/10...most likely 9/10 When you get your form letter with the date...search groups and join your PIR group. If it hasn't formed...you need to start it...FUN!!!
Received the BOX and the form letter on Monday July 19. HIs PIR will be on 9/02. I am so excited for him and counting down the days..
Good for you ...this is one of the rare Thursday graduations. One EXTRA day with your new Sailor!!!
kim here is the link to your PIR group it will be you lifeline http://www.navyformoms.com/group/ship4div291pir922010
Ya'll please be careful about using last names, e-mails, addresses, phone numbers...if you want to share that...just private message the person you want to share with. They have to be your friend on here first...

To do that...click on their profile name, on their page under their name "add as a friend" click on that and send them a friend request. Check the box in the upper right hand corner of your screen...inbox=private messages(from friends on N4M's), Friends=how many friend requests you have, settings=where you go to cut off all the e-mail notifications you get from N4M's.

Just remember this is a public site...you do not have to be a member to look at stuff here. OPSEC...Loose Lips Sink Ships.

This is to protect our Sailors as well as us...thanks
If you want more info about OPSEC read under the " Forums" tab
OOPS I thought it was protected , I should have looked. I responded on my page, guess I should not assume. Thanks it has been deleted..
That cool. It's never too early to start practicing OPSEC. Going from civilian speak to military speak is difficult.
oh, oops....thank you!
