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."

So proud of him!  Congrats to the new mom of a US Navy Sailor!  My son had a setback too when there...but it was a good thing for him, he said...and brought us up there on a weekend with better weather.  His original PIR date was cold nasty weather that weekend...and originally he was asmoed for 2 weeks...and that weekend was cold bad weather too...so thank goodness he was actually only asmoed for a week and we had nice PIR weather!  God is GOOD!

we think that 329-332 went last night.  But if your SR went through with them but is not part of those divisions, your call may be random...sometimes ealier than the divisions call. Also, check FB!  Sometimes they post on FB that they are sailors (they can buy internet time there).  Some do FB as the others are making their calls.

I'm glad you know your SR's PIR date and have joined the group.  I hope you find the information and support you need.  If you don't, just ask, either in the group or on my My Page.  Also, your Username and URL above appear to contain your last name, if so, please read the Page, What is OPSEC?, and especially follow the directions in the link, If your Username contains your last name, consider changing it.  That link will open in a new window so you can come to this page and make the changes if you need to.  Take care and blessings to you and yours.
