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."

Comment by Lynne on December 8, 2010 at 12:52pm: I have a challenge for you...this menopausal insomnia might be my death yet...lol

Twas the month before Christmas and all through the Navy for Moms site
Family members were fretting no Christmas for Recruits just ain’t right!

So, they all gathered in their PIR groups to figure out what they could do
To insure each and every recruit got a taste of the holiday spirit too!

The rooms were all a buzz with ideas and thoughts galore
When Navy for Moms get together you never know what’s in store!

The planning, the chatting, and the conniving had only just begun
When they realized that their options left out many kinds of fun.

So quicker than an F-18 bursting from the carrier across the sky,
The PIR members rallied with a Hooyah Navy for Moms cry!

They made cards for the division and every recruit
And sent them to their loved one…like a package of loot!

The instructions were clear and concise to their recruit when sent.
Christmas would follow no matter where in the Navy they went.

There was one for each RDC and every good little recruit.
Because we know Christmas is about family and this year it’s at boot!!

I hope you will use this time to get together in your divisions...get cards ready...find out how many are in the divisions and make sure every single one of them gets a holiday card...you can do it....then you can each send so many to each of your recruits and pass them out from Navy for Moms...it will be a Christmas they will never forget...and neither will you!!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 8, 2010 at 12:51pm: Hi Chris, so did you end up getting one of the letters originally stating the PIR of 1/21 as well?

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 8, 2010 at 12:50pm: Hi Logansmama, you're in good company here !!! Ship 11, div 057 as well. Welcome to the club. Trust me when I say, if you're down, we CAN and WILL pick you up. Isn't that right Denise and Kathy? We are all having so much fun getting to know each other. In fact, if you change your name here to include the ship and division, it will help everyone to know exactly who you are. Just a thought.

Comment by Denise on December 8, 2010 at 10:59am: Welcome Logansmama...my son is ship 11 div 057 too!

Comment by ChrisNukeEMmom on December 8, 2010 at 10:01am: Good morning friends! Yesterday I realized I can forward my home phone to my cell phone. I must have been brain dead not to think of it before :) It sure makes me feel better when I'm away from home knowing I won't miss a phone call. Just thought I'd pass it along in case any of you haven't thought of it. I'm really hoping for a letter today!

Comment by Lynne on December 8, 2010 at 4:54am: GUESS WHAT TIME OF THE WEEK IT IS.....

Yeppers if they got to write letters on Sunday...you can begin looking for mail...woo hoo....

Comment by Lynne on December 8, 2010 at 3:51am: The RTC puts up photos every week of PIR...in addition they typically put up a photo of the week like the one of the division that was marching ( freezing their patooties off ) in the cold. If you are on facebook and click "like" this page they will be sent to you automatically each week..lol!!

Comment by lojogo Ship 11 Division 057 on December 8, 2010 at 3:18am: Thanks for the welcome! I appreciate it. Anyone from Ship 11 Group 57? I was looking for a group for that as well. I hope all of you are handling this OK. My SR is my only child and this is the hardest thing I have ever had to deal with. I am so grateful for this site and all of you. What a great support system.
