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."

Welcome to PIR 05/04/2012!

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.

Comment by Wyobraskamom on March 22, 2012 at 9:03pm: Thank you so much diannep ! This is great info! I am going to print it out so I can reference it! Since my son left my brain has been on vacation! I'll be sure to keep my phone with me on 2-5. So glad he shared that info with me :)

Comment by diannep on March 22, 2012 at 9:03pm: Welcome back, Betsy! Missed you!

Comment by diannep on March 22, 2012 at 8:57pm: ...also, they must have been told they will get to call on 2-5 (training week 2/day 5). Be ready, but just know that sometimes these calls don't come in when they were "announced." But you can hope and keep that phone glued to you!

Comment by diannep on March 22, 2012 at 8:55pm: Wyobraskamom: 1-1 means they are on training week 1/day 1. This is different from bootcamp day count which starts with processing days (those don't count in training weeks). They are ready for BattleStations, their final test before becoming sailors, when they reach 6-5 (week 6/day 5). Remember, weekends/holidays do not count in the day count. They are on "hold" during those days.

Comment by diannep on March 22, 2012 at 8:53pm: Yes, as Betsy said, it is possible, I think, that brother divisions could be in different ships, but each division (if all male) should have everyone together in the same ship.

Comment by diannep on March 22, 2012 at 8:51pm: Wait, juliebelle: The only way they can be in the same division but different ships is if men/women are in the same division...they have separate barracks.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 22, 2012 at 8:47pm: Thanks FTLW, We are having a great time catching up. I can't believe she just got here and leaves Saturday morning. It goes by way too fast.

Comment by Wyobraskamom on March 22, 2012 at 7:53pm: Sorry I know I have seen the answer to this but I can't find it. I think I saw that you could calulate when Battlestation would be based on the day your SR is in. So if mine references day 1-1 what does that mean? He also said he should be able to call on day 2-5? Thanks for all the help everyone and sorry for the repeat question! BTW I Got A Letter TODAY!!!

Comment by vivianlee on March 22, 2012 at 3:57pm: Love the Pictures!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 22, 2012 at 3:27pm: Betsy's right...cuz they are not brother divisions!

The "Ships" can hold 12-14 Divisions...normally twelve...but I think they can divide a compartment or something like that. I think Craig posted it once.

Once one Ship is filled up they move on to the next. The exceptions are the 800 and 900 Divisons. 800's have been in Ship 04 lately and 900's in 02.
