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 30, 2010 at 5:43pm: Kim...just change the setting of your profile page to private and all is good...lol

Comment by Kimbv(S007Div055) on November 30, 2010 at 4:33pm: Thanks Cat! I just set up the group!

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on November 30, 2010 at 4:06pm: I went onto http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/rtcgl/upcoming_grads.asp to find out and your div is not listed yet so I'm kinda thinking that you will probably be 1/28/10. you can always change the date so go ahead and make the group. My advise is to name the group the PIR date and in the discussion forum you could all list your ship and div. This way more join with the same PIR date and the divs are branched out. Have fun with it and soon some of the more knowledgable navy moms will pop in to give support and post some important information.

Comment by Kimbv(S007Div055) on November 30, 2010 at 3:43pm: No I just got an email from his recruiter with the address yesterday. Should I take down the pictures of his swearing in that I posted? I was just reading something that said not to make your profile pic a photo of him as the division training guys look on here and read this stuff. I don't want to cause him any probs!

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on November 30, 2010 at 2:57pm: does it say what PIR date you have. I look it up and I'm not sure if you are 1/21/10. You might be 1/28/10..

Comment by Kimbv(S007Div055) on November 30, 2010 at 2:51pm: Anyone out there with S007, Div 055? I just received this info & will start a group if no one has so we can be together!

Comment by Cat(Mom of an AO) on November 30, 2010 at 11:52am: Hi Peanutsmom. I sent you a friend request. Hang on cause we are all here together. Yes, the holidays are going to be a hard but just think how if would be if we never found each other. I am writing to my son as we speak and told him that I am meeting so many other moms with kids in his div.

Thanks for the info on Candlewood Lynne. I still have not booked anything yet. Waiting for my first letter. I should have all set by next week.

Comment by peanutsmom/Ship07, DIV 051 on November 30, 2010 at 6:09am: Thanks ladies.... I was so glad to read just the two lines from her I cryed like a fool!! I write to her at least everyother day if not everyday... Holidays just arent going to be the same without her.. Yes I joined 1-21-11 PIR group too...
