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 meryl (ship 09 division 208) on May 30, 2011 at 10:40am: Greetings everyone on this Memorial Day! I don't know if you've seen this video before but I thought I would share it with you. My mother in-law sent it to me

yesterday. Hope you can see it because I'm not sure I did this right (since I'm computer illiterate). Keeping you all in my prayers. Have a good day and be safe.

Comment by diannep on May 30, 2011 at 10:31am: Linda: They usually do BattleStations around 6-5 (Week 6, Day 5). When my son was there, he did BattleStations Thurs a week before PIR. Different divisions are on different training days. Some may not be on 6-5 until PIR week.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 30, 2011 at 10:23am: Not all of them will have 8 weeks of training. Processing days don't count as training days so even if they are there for 8 weeks the usually have PIR during week 7.

Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on May 30, 2011 at 4:56am: we got a phone call yesterday. so thankful to hear his voice! he is doing well in some areas and still struggling to pass the floating hurdle. very close, but not there yet. please pray that God will send him some encouragers and also will help him over this particular hurdle. said he probably won't be able to call until after battlestations. said that tuesday will be 4-2 for them. anybody else heard anything else like that?

Comment by Joy125 (FC Mom) on May 29, 2011 at 7:42pm: Hey Deb......you seem to be doing fine! The same thing happened to me about the zillion emails.....you can change your settings so you won't get them. Look up at the right corner of this page, settings are there. Just ask if you have any problems. This is a great site....everyone is so supportive and helpful. Welcome aboard!

I have a daughter in ship 02 div 931. Anyone else out there? I'm new at this so don't really know what I'm doing. But I'm getting way too many emails from when I 1st signed up to NavyForMoms. Any advice, etc. would be appreciated! Thanks!

Comment by Squeekerz on May 29, 2011 at 6:49pm: Yeah, I was worried he wouldn't know my number, so I had sent it to him in a letter. :P He thanked me for it, 'cause he needed it. lol
