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 mmiles 11/186 on April 10, 2011 at 5:59pm: Great point I will book my hotel ASAP!

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on April 10, 2011 at 5:58pm: CRF230dad and mmiles, We went ahead and reserved a room (online) for Thursday the 26th even though we don't have the official letter yet confirming the 5/27 PIR. Room reservations can be cancelled without penalty up to one day prior. Our challenge is booking the airfare because of our SR's sister is graduating college on May 28th. Airfare is costly with a refundable fare. Everything has a way of working out though.

Comment by CRF230dad on April 10, 2011 at 5:24pm: I have watched every video read every forum and liked every Navy facebook page. I"m I obsessing? LOL

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 10, 2011 at 5:17pm: Hang in there CRF, I feel the same way!!!!

Comment by CRF230dad on April 10, 2011 at 5:15pm: Too many variables... I'm going crazy!!!

Comment by CRF230dad on April 10, 2011 at 5:13pm: I read I may not get our 1st letter until 4/13-15. I"m afraid the choices for hotels will be slim by then. I'm on the west coast I don't know if that makes a difference. I will try his recruiter again in the morning. If it is 5/27 will he leave for A school (P-cola) on Tuesday because of Memorial day or still fly out Saturday or Sunday as planned.

Comment by CRF230dad on April 10, 2011 at 5:08pm: So is that not his permanent ship? And PIR is 5/27 for sure?

Comment by CRF230dad on April 10, 2011 at 4:42pm: Jessica this the info I got from his chief I assume it is ship 11 div 181 but I'm not sure.

Ship is: 11 USS KEARSARGE (LHD-3) 7114 Compartment: E-02 Division: R 2011 181 I

Comment by CRF230dad on April 10, 2011 at 4:32pm: @ Jessica B.Saiior mom How do you know The 6/3 PIR group has been formed? My son left for boot on 3/29 and we have not heard a word yet, no letter, no nothing yet. I assume given the first 4 days as P-week he would have PIR on 6/3. At least that's what we are going on for now. I did PM the Chief from his recruiting office on FB and he responded that he is in ship 11 division 181 but I am waiting for an official letter before starting letters to him.

Comment by laurelbc 11/180 on April 10, 2011 at 3:47pm: Thank you! I went to freeflashtoys.com and then chose the options above. If you scroll down from the first line of choices (skeleton themes which I vetoed) you can find patriotic backgrounds. Then I chose the colors for the wording. It was a fun little project and I already am enjoying seeing the minutes count down.
