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."

We got letters from logan today!!!

Waiting on the mail to come in later this afternoon

Welcome to the group.  Will everyone be going to PIR?  Please post as you start getting letters or calls.  I am trying not to worry unless other people are getting info and I am not.

Connie I have been told no news is good news...if we don't get a call from them in the first three weeks it means everything is ok.....we only got the form letter so far. Of course kept our fingers crossed and our phones by our sides all day yesterday, but knew that he was too new at boot camp to be able to call.

Same thing here.  My boyfriend who was a Marine keeps telling me I am crazy to keep my cell as close as I am.  I know he is not likely to call but it would kill me if he got the chance and nobody answered.  I am also following the no news is good news theory.

Just made my reservations for PIR.  I've gotten nothing from Josh except the form letter so I don't think you need to worry.

My son is in this division and signed on for the NUKE program, as well. It's so good to read that other moms have the same questions as me and, even better, that we all seem to be having the same experience. We've not heard anything other than the form letter and I keep my cell phone with me all the time. If he calls when I'm in the shower I'll be really mad!
