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."

Question about my SRs address.

I got my son's box today. I was hoping for a hidden message or something, but oh well. It was nice seeing his handwriting on the box. Silly, right? He has only been gone a few days, but it seems like forever. His recruiter gave me his address. Ship 2 div. 947. I thought I read that sometimes the address is not correct. How reliable is this? Should I wait until I get the form letter to give the address to his friends? His recruiter said the address would not change, but I tend to trust you mamas more than him. His friend just graduated last week, ship 2 div. 938, her mailing address had a different street name. Wouldn't ship 2 have the same street?

Happy to do that - what is the TG 45 mean?  Would we be TG 47?  I also noticed on the links page that  you show all of the participating divisions:  i.e.  TG 45 -  Divisions (315-320 & 945).  How do you get that information?  We would like to make sure to provide the appropriate tags and titles, too.  Thanks for such grea information lemonelephant!

Okay - the group is set up - I show that it's open to anyone when I edit the group - so please let me know if it's not showing up that way.  I haven't added the link yet, but that is next.

 

 

Not sure how to do that - I want to add a link for http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir-10-07-2011-tg-47 on the  GROUPS: Listed By PIR Date - Pass In Review (Boot Camp Graduation) page, but all I see is add a group, not add a link.  hrm.

Okay - one more time - I think I fixed it, and I sent a message to BQB to add to the list.  Thanks for your help in this, btw!

I got my form letter today. He is 02/947. I also have the correct address. Of course my navy moms are correct! Thank you.
