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."

The Navy Lodge sounds like it would have been a good choice. I ended up booking at the Courtyard Marriot, as I don't want to rent a car, and they have cabs leaving at several times the morning of PIR, beginning at 6:15 am.....but I think most of the hotels do. I heard the Candlewood was nice. The Quality Inn, which would have been my 1st choice was all booked! Good luck!

My SR is in Division 128. He goes to Monterrey for A school. I guess I should join the FB group. My SR's aunt and uncle, as well as his sister will be at PIR. We all just want to spend time with him. Can't think beyond that day yet!

Received our first (besides the I'm here) call Sat from our Son.. He was having a rough day.. we both did not know weather to laugh or cry with excitement so we did both.. He said I just can't help it mom.. It was so good to hear from him, I try to remember our conversations but it went so fast I can barely remember. Please pray for strength for our Son as like most this is his first time away and we are a close Family.

Hi everyone! My son left for the navy not speaking to me or his father. We haven't been able to join in on all the exciting moments as we have not heard from him. I just got his address yesterday by calling the recruiter. He is in div 127. I have heard that he is going to San Antonio after PIR but don't know what for. The recruiter couldn't tell me. I'm going to start writing him but not sure if he will respond. Any pics or info on his div would be a blessing. Thanks!
