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 07/06/2012"

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 Sailors/Recruits 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 DanaVann (SHIP II Div 195) on June 25, 2012 at 11:02am: Can someone message me when they think BS is for div 211? I'm a little nerves askin the question. Last time I ask my son got pushed back.

Comment by diannep on June 25, 2012 at 10:38am: Yes, I'm sure he would have, leftwayleft. There was a mom on one of the groups though who said her SR wouldn't call her when he had the chance to tell her about his new PIR group because he was afraid all would be disappointed in him. So sad...because of course they weren't and wanted to know. That is why I mentioned that.

Comment by diannep on June 25, 2012 at 8:11am: cbadillo: Just sent you a "friend request" with BattleStations info. Don't click "accept" without reading it. The message goes away!

leftwayleft: I'm just still so shocked that your son has not been allowed to call. Didn't you say that the PAO was going to contact the personnel with him so that he could call? I just don't get that he has not called. Can you imagine if you had not called the PAO and arrived for PIR this week? I just don't understand that. That is the first time we have heard on here of a SR setback and moved into a new PIR group without being allowed to notify family. Now, the SR doesn't HAVE to call...they are given the option usually. But I can't imagine that he wouldn't have chosen to call you so you wouldn't make your way out there if he wasn't graduating.

Makes no sense to me...so not right.

Comment by ellen0502 on June 25, 2012 at 4:00am: HossLuvinNavyMom, yes if something were to happen you would know. It is my understanding that they are "required" to call if something will be holding them up for any reason.

I know it is hard, but no news is good news really holds true. I found myself the last couple of weeks almost hoping that I wouldn't see that 847 area code. I am sure things are OK at this point or you would have heard something.

Hang in their ladies you are very close.

Comment by HossLuvinNavyMom(S09 D205) on June 25, 2012 at 12:16am: Good evening to all! The letter I hoped for Weds, Thurs, then Fri, and still Sat thinking maybe it was misdelivered just never came, but the last 4 weeks did. I do think with a job, as he said he was always busy, that he just got too busy but the no contact is just killing me! Does anyone know that if something were to happen this late in the game that they would have him notify us ASAP so we could change travel plans? I hear no news is good news and the letter he would have written the Sun prior said all was good and he passed everything so far and doing great. ANYONE! Wow, never thought I would feel this ansy, he is 23! Thanks!

Comment by DanaVann (SHIP II Div 195) on June 24, 2012 at 10:11pm: Hold on leftwayleft. It just has to come soon. I haven't heard from mine again. Maybe they are getting ready for their last tests. Let's just keep praying. Being a Navy Mom is tuff. But so worth it.

Comment by amor on June 24, 2012 at 9:20pm: anyone going to Flanagan's Thursday the 5th for the meet and greet?

Comment by cbadillo on June 24, 2012 at 9:01pm: If anyone knows when ship 09 Deiv 205 goes to Battlestations PLEASE message me....I am on pins and needles! Thanks.

Comment by diannep on June 24, 2012 at 8:58pm: You all be sure to check your personal pages for comments. Many don't realize that people can post comments on the bottom of their home pages.

Comment by DanaVann (SHIP II Div 195) on June 24, 2012 at 6:09pm: Leftwayleft. Have you heard fr your SR yet? I was thinking about you guys all day.
