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'm here!!!  I have been looking for you!!!  LOL  I put up a few posts about this and no one ever got back to me!!  So far it looks like you and I!!

Is this forum for PIR 3/16/12?

It is yelomoon. This one here was started for ship 09 division 092. Is your son/daughter in this division? If so welcome to the couple of us! If not look through the forum until you see a posting for your child's ship and division.

Well they are still on the same ship. their division may be different but they are on the same ship.

Do you want to do the scarf thing for graduation?  I was thinking yellow or a blue one with the stars.  Let em know what you thing and we can order them from Lala.

Hi "proud mom 93"  There doesn't seem to be much chatter for this Div.  Has the scarf color been confirmed yet.  I will go with whatever you all choose.  I have already made ribbons for my daughter.  I did navy blue with gold lettering. I also ordered a navy lapel pin to put on it.  This is a very large PIR so maybe we should see what colors have already been taken.  Let me know what you decide.

Yellow is what was picked for the scarfs.

If you have facebook go to unique memory markers and look at her ribbons and scarfs.
