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."

Hello Ladies!

My boyfriend entered bootcamp this December 4th and I'm wondering if any of you have loved ones in the same ship and division. It'd be nice if we got to know each other!

Join the group, PIR 01/25/2013 TG 11 - 9 Divisions (069-076 and 911), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.  Know that Divisions 079 and 080 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.  There is a discussion within that group for the two divisions.

You may also want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (we take all loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups as well as in the PIR group. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups.

You may also wish to join Girlfriends, Fiances,and Wives of Sailors, Navy Girlfriends, and/or Boot Camp Girlfriends.

hi! my sons in the brother div. same ship. just got my first letters yesterday. Merry Christmas!

Hi nice to meet you! I can't believe graduation is only a couple days away!!

"a couple of days away"???? It's 4 Fridays until PIR.

You should seriously consider joining the groups I mentioned above. Well, not the 01/25/2013 group; I accidentally posted that instead of PIR 02/01/2013 TG 12 - 15 Divisions (077-088, 804, 805 and 912) (clickable link) and just now noticed it, so click on that link and join the group to connect with others training with your SR.

Haha I know graduation is not til February 1st but compared to 2 months of not seeing my bf, 28 days seem like nothing! Thank you I will join them!

Yes, it is less than 8 1/2 weeks, so you are past the halfway point.

My son is Ship 12 Div. 080.  Entered boot camp Dec. 5th.

Hi nice to meet you! Yes I've received 7 letters in total! Have you heard from your son yet?

Only 4 for me. boooo

hi Steph! i was lucky enough to get a call as well. he sounds great. how are you doing?

Awww I'm so glad to hear that! That wasn't the "I'm a Sailor" call was it? I'm doing great thank you! I'm already planning his graduation party b/c it has to be fabulous!!! How are you holding up?
