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."

Good Morning, karenstout. Thank you for starting the discussion for our SR's division. My son's best friend Luke is in this division. He has no family except for a younger brother so I will be attending the PIR if no one else goes. I was just through this with my own son who graduated on 8/31. He is now in Pensacola. Luke is going in as a MM for a sub. What is your son under contract for?

My Sr is under contract for Nuke, ET, EM or MM will be decided based on need of the Navy.  He also wants sub.

Hi karenstout........received my SR's form letter today and it states ship 13 div 365/366.......

Do you know what that means?  Maybe brother divisions?  Have no idea but they must train together.

Yes, divisions 365 and 366 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together. The males bunk together and the females bunk together so sometimes the address gives both divisions. They will get mail if it only includes the one division though.

Join the group, PIR 11/09/2012 (clickable link), to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.

Just received my letter today.  I am thrilled!  Just to see his handwriting!  I got the box yesterday and have been just staring at that cuz it has his writing on it too!  I am losing it!   My husband was getting ready to trash it last night & told him to set the box done gently!  He looked at me & said I was crazy!  My son is on Ship 13 Division 366.  His grad date is 11/09!  I am researching trip info as we speak!
