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 TinaZmom 02/936 on June 12, 2011 at 6:37pm: Hello, I added our group to the calendar for Meet n Greet on Thu, July 21, 2011. My son's fiance said that he is doing great! He is a little sick with a cough though. He was able to make a call today for doing an assignment, he has received letters and keep them coming with more pictures!!! The food is very good. He did say that the 936 Div had higher standards. Instead of marching, he will be doing something with rifles...sorry it is not specific. He misses everyone, but seems to be doing great...did not seem depressed at all! I would have loved to hear his voice, at least he did call his fiance that is missing him like crazy, too. Again, send lots of letters and pictures.

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on June 12, 2011 at 6:18pm: got our first phone call from our SR. Said the food is great. Passed his swim test. Working on improving his running. They were up all night doing a writting assignment but it was worth it because they got to make their phone calls. Sounds tired but great. I was confused because I had read that 900 divisions were for the band and chior, etc. He told me it is that but that the Nine Three Six is a staff divisions. They will get their jobs next week but they basically work the PIR's, sounded excited about it! They are a all male division. Said that having only five divisions (usually up to fourteen) at Our PIR should make it faster and maybe we will have more time with them. I got the best birthday present a day early....it was so great talking to him. He said he also wrote earlier today so I'll get my first letter soon! I hope you all get your long awaited for calls today, that your SR's sound as good as mine did, and a letter soon too. It really made a difference just hearing his voice!

Comment by TinaZmom 02/936 on June 12, 2011 at 5:12pm: Ship 02 Div 936 are making calls right now!!! My son called his fiance!!!

MeetNGreet for PIR 7/22/2011

Thurs, 7/21/2011, from 6-8 pm

Ramada Waukegan

200 N. Green Bay Rd

847-244-2400

***********

This is just for info purposes. Ramada has it regardless. But it needs to be on there for this group to find. Thank you to whomever will do this!

Comment by diannep on June 12, 2011 at 11:57am: I second what fireteamleaderwife said about your division groups! You will get to know each other there.

HOWEVER, please stay on this board for info and to ask questions. We veteran ladies don't have time to comb through all of the discussion groups to answer questions....many times, I see questions in the discussion groups that have been answered on the main board. So try and stay in touch on this board too!

DukesMom: The MeetNGreet is put on by the Ramada Waukegan the night before PIR (7/21) from 6-8 pm . It is for all families/friends of sailors in PIR 7/22...not just for NavyforMoms people. So you will get to share about this website with those people who may have never heard of us here! Can you imagine???? HA! They serve appetizers and there is a cash bar....you can bring your own drink if you wish, and if you are staying there, you will get two free drink tickets. Children are welcome!

Comment by UFQ202- Ship 12, Div 231 on June 12, 2011 at 11:33am: Happy Sunday. I hope all our kids get the chance to write home today. I have my fingers crossed.

Comment by gypsy on June 12, 2011 at 11:15am: The meet and Greet is at the Ramada - Waukegan-Gurnee on Thursday night before Graduation but I don't know what time..The Motel number is: 847-244-2400
