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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the timeto read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are not allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by Arwen on January 4, 2012 at 8:49pm: Division flags are designed by the recruits themselves (your recruits probably just finished designing theirs), and often include a cartoon depiction of some funny event from early in boot camp, or a symbol or symbols they decide mean something to them.

When they are done recruits can order a division t-shirt featuring the flag they designed. It's a black shirt, with "U.S. Navy" written vertically in blue down one side of the front, and an image of the division flag silk screened on the back. You can also order a shirt or shirts at PIR.

This is the juniors size babydoll version, it is also available in regular mens' t-shirt cut, and as sweatshirts. This particular shirt is from my son's division, yours will have a different design on back.

Comment by astrid on January 4, 2012 at 8:43pm: Hi all, seems the letter log jam is about to break! Heard today from my daughter's half sister, who resides in Antitoch about 30 min from Great Lakes, that she did receive her first letter today. So tomorrow may well be our dayI Yay!!

Comment by GYPY86 on January 4, 2012 at 8:36pm: Feeling down-no call for New year,Christmas,my birthday and no letters. Just keep my focus on Pir. I know it will be here soon.

Comment by Okie Cowgirl on January 4, 2012 at 8:07pm: 44 days! It seems like the countdown clock subtracts a day every time I look at it. Of course, since I only get a chance to look about once a day, that makes sense.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 4, 2012 at 7:32pm: Awe, i am so sorry you have been sick. I hope you are feeling much better very soon. :-)

Comment by chocolatelablover on January 4, 2012 at 7:14pm: Having a bad day today. Just getting over the flu, Happy New Year to me, and hating not being able to talk to my son!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 4, 2012 at 6:49pm: lol Barbie if I see him I will tell him you are looking for you and have a present to give him :-)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 4, 2012 at 6:31pm: Where is everyone today?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 4, 2012 at 9:54am: You know it has been snowing on N4M's for quite a while now. I think it is getting way too deep to go out and you all should stay home from work today lol :-)

Comment by astrid on January 4, 2012 at 9:48am: Thanks Lala and diannep for the info, it is much appreciated. I will coordinate with the other graduation guests in my party. My daughter will be leaving for A school in TX, so I will keep my eyes peeled for others with this destination and see if I find any more on this, i.e. normally the flights to TX leave at xyz time.
