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."

Not yet. It is really hard to wait for that.

Thanks Kylesmom. I know, I guess I am going to have to get use to the waiting game.

It gets confusing-got the box, don't have the form letter...looking for it.

It can take three to five business days for the form letter to arrive after the box does.

My daughter is in this ship and division also. I have not received her letter yet, but I have received the box. What day did your daughter leave?

My daughter got there on October 6. What about yours?

Same. She left from Shreveport, LA & I got the "I'm here call" around 9:30 that night.

We have a discussion thread set up for our division under the 12/2/11 PIR group if you'd like to join that. One of the mom's in our division got her letter today & her daughter mentioned a PUSH division.
