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 utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors 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.

Great to hear moms in my son's division are receiving their form letter---I'm still waiting inpatiently!!! My son left Miami MEPS on Jan. 17. I look forward to getting to know all of you. I've been on this website for 3 weeks now and it's amazing.

Comment by Maria on January 26, 2012 at 10:12pm: I got my letter finally. He is ship 2 div 919. Next = preparation to go Great Lakes. Happy now!,

Comment by KittyS(SHIP 09 DIV 087) on January 26, 2012 at 10:07pm: Thank you for all your wonderful information. I just got the form letter today and eagerly read it. I will be checking this forum daily.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 26, 2012 at 10:00pm: Added the RTC FB Note about your PIR up in the Discussion Forum.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 26, 2012 at 9:08pm: They live for mail and I haven't heard of anyone getting too much mail. Write everyday if you can. They will be so glad you did.

WOW 14 divisions, this will be a big group :-) We had 13 divisions when my daughter had PIR. You will meet so many awesome Moms and wives and girlfriends and grandmas and cousins lol. One great big happy NAVY Family.

Comment by SandySea on January 26, 2012 at 8:26pm: DeeDee, our sons are shipmates and same division! Got the form letter today. Got a short note on the back too--he says it's not as bad as people think, the food is great, and it isn't that cold there. Wonder if he will feel that way in a couple more weeks. Good to see a positive sign right now though.

Comment by minordetails42 on January 26, 2012 at 7:12pm: Anyone have an SR on Ship 9 Div 87?

Comment by ZachsDad (ship03/div089 ) on January 26, 2012 at 5:58pm: JessicaB and FTLW, that makes sense now. No post cards from us or friends and family.

Thanks!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 26, 2012 at 5:51pm: I don't normally post this on here...but since there has been some delay I thought would so everyone would know (I know I changed the title of the group already...just covering bases!)
