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 Kac46047 on December 4, 2010 at 1:26pm: Denise i thought i was the only one who checked the weather every morning for great lakes! lol its snowing there but its snowing here so hopefully they are havng fun shoveling =P

Comment by Denise on December 4, 2010 at 10:02am: Thanks JessicaB - I have seen something about that and already wrote my son to make sure he orders.

Comment by Denise on December 4, 2010 at 8:16am: LOL...guess I'm making up for missed time this morning on this site! Feeling encouraged and much better today. I continue to write (he is going to hit the jackpot on first mail call) and do silly things like call his cell phone to hear his voice on the message. I even check the weather forecast every day - it's snowing there today and the high's for the next 10 days will only be in the 20's. Hope my southern boy is adapting well to that cold weather!

Comment by Denise on December 4, 2010 at 8:13am: Penny and Kathy - did you checkout JessicaB's link (page 2 here) to another group with photo's? There is one of the USS Kearsarge where our boys are!

Comment by Denise on December 4, 2010 at 8:05am: We still haven't gotten the letter either (left on 23rd). Maybe the Thanksgiving holidays have slowed things down (office staff and postal service).

Comment by KLP0824 on December 3, 2010 at 10:35pm: thanks jessicaB i was wondering how to address the letters

Comment by Julie*Ship7*Div55 on December 3, 2010 at 10:26pm: Actually, the "letter" is just the typed Navy official letter telling you how things work, the PIR date, etc. with a few brochures in it. The form letter has a few lines on the bottom where your recruit can write a personal note. They're not actually letters yet. If your recruit puts the wrong people in for PIR, don't freak. They can change that later. Actually, my son & I went to his friend's PIR in Sept, and only he was on the list, but they extra people in because there were only 9 divisions graduating. From what I've heard, the only time more than 4 is a problem is if there are a full number of divisions. There are upper and lower bleachers at the grad, and the upper one was barely populated. Off topic, sorry
