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 nascarnov on November 18, 2010 at 9:45pm: redsmomtx - When did your son go to BC? How long did it take to get the form letter?

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on November 18, 2010 at 9:37pm: I am excited to say I got the form letter today. YAY! He seems to be in good spirits still from the words of his handwritten note.

It's official PIR date is 1/14/2011 :-)

Comment by nascarnov on November 18, 2010 at 9:08pm: We didn't get our son's address, either. Our entire recruiter's office is gone until Monday due to a convention. Is there another way to get his address? Or is "the letter" going to be here before then?

Comment by Tamme on November 18, 2010 at 5:01pm: Recruiter just called with address! Ship 7, Div. 45

Comment by Lynne on November 18, 2010 at 4:59pm: Division 39 I am not real positive about yet...sorry.

Ship 42 and 43 you are PIR 1/14/2011 I thinkhttp://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir1142011

Cat, you could probably call the recruiter on Friday and get a division number and ship!!

Comment by Karla~ (S 12 D 042 - PIR 1/14) on November 18, 2010 at 12:06pm: Excited to have found this website! Ash - Ship 12, Div 42!

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on November 18, 2010 at 11:28am: I might be jumping ahead here since my son only arrived on the 16th..

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on November 18, 2010 at 11:27am: Yes nascarnov, I am wondering the same and also wondering how we find our div group as soon as possible.

Comment by nascarnov on November 17, 2010 at 11:48pm: Just got our call from our son. He didn't call last night when he got there. We didn't worry, since he wasn't dropped on our doorstep and the recruiter hadn't called, so we figured he must have gotten there alright! How long before we get "the letter?"
