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."

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 26, 2011 at 2:08pm: It is so good that y'all are finally getting some letters. I know some of them may sound a little down in the first couple of letters but for most of them you will be able to see a difference in them as the time goes on. Each letter usually gets a little better. Just keep writing and encouraging. You and you recruit will get through this. :-)

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 26, 2011 at 1:55pm: Mama C my boyfriend is in ship 12 div 168. Hopefully their doing well. I'm also waiting on a letter to come in. I just sent my first one today.

Comment by Mama C (PS E-Class 1202-1) on March 26, 2011 at 1:15pm: Hi Brenda88310 - My son's PIR is also 05/13/11 - ship 12 div 168. Hoping you hear from him soon, too!

Comment by Brenda88310 on March 26, 2011 at 1:10pm: Finally got the form letter today! My husband's PIR is 5/13/11 and he is in Ship 7 Div 169. He left a little message at the end of the letter :) Can't wait to hear from him again.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 26, 2011 at 12:34am: Thank you

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 25, 2011 at 6:21pm: Wouldn't ship 12 Division 168 be with them?

Comment by Dr.Kimber on March 25, 2011 at 6:18pm: Ship 12 Div 167 PIR- 05/13/2011

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 25, 2011 at 3:56pm: My boyfriend is Ship 12 Div 168. So excited to see him.

Comment by alemap118 on March 25, 2011 at 10:09am: Finally I get to join this group. My son is Ship 12 Div 167. Thanks for all the informaiton so far. It is so much needed. I got hte little note on the bottom of the letter I received yesterday. He actually thanked me for teaching him to pay attention to details and follow instructions. Wow you just never know what they learn from you until they need to use it and they recognize it. I just sent off 5 letters and a card and contacted everyone one they list to give out the address.

I look forward to meeting you all on graduation date. Is anyone from Martin County area in Florida?

Comment by diannep on March 25, 2011 at 7:57am: I would book the hotel earlier as some of them fill up (especially the 2 bdr suites at Residence). Most hotels have liberal cancellation policies, usually up to the day before or day of arrival. But I agree with ochaos that you should wait a bit on flights and you can wait on rental car. Of course, if you book Southwest Airlines, there is no change fee.
