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 November 19, 2010 at 4:24pm: It will come on your form letter...a lot of times we can tell from other divisions but yours is a little tough yet...it will either be 1/14 or 1/21...I am thinking 1/21 but I could be wrong!!

Comment by Tamme on November 19, 2010 at 4:11pm: The PIR has not been set yet. Below is the link to keep an eye on.

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on November 19, 2010 at 3:40pm: I know. I am really excited. Do you happen to know what his PIR would be. He recruiter did not give that to me.

Comment by Lynne on November 19, 2010 at 3:33pm: Woo hoo good for you Cat

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on November 19, 2010 at 2:33pm: I just got the box! My husban called and said its on the kitchen table waiting for me to get home. WOW I am nervous and excited. I can't wait to hold his clothes...who am I kidding..I can't wait to smell his clothes...

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on November 19, 2010 at 12:36pm: HI, I got a call from the recruiter!! My sons ship 07 div 051. I just mailed out three letters... LOL. I am so happy. I hope he getr them for this sunday....

Comment by nascarnov on November 18, 2010 at 11:23pm: Thanks, Lynne. I'll just keep writing and send the letters when I get his address!

Comment by Lynne on November 18, 2010 at 11:06pm: If I was a betting person I would still think that div 45 would be 1/14 but I could be wrong....so you might just want to hang in there for a bit...

Comment by Lynne on November 18, 2010 at 11:04pm: The box typically comes the first week and the form letter usually arrives in 10 to 14 days...now it can come sooner than that but that is average....

Comment by Lynne on November 18, 2010 at 11:03pm: Kate-Tony...division 39 is PIR 1/14 I met someone today in y our division who has gotten their form letter....here is your link http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir1142011 :
