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 HM__Mom Ruth on June 10, 2011 at 7:50am: So glad you got a call--you were really lucky and it was nice they let him talk for a little while. Looking forward to letters next week.

Comment by Dallas_ann(ship03/div235) on June 9, 2011 at 11:36pm: But I did get an unexpected phone call!!! I guess they lost my social security card and our marriage license, so he was able to call and talk for 10mins. That was the best phone call I have ever had. He said everything is going well and that they are swimming tomorrow. They should be able to send out letters on Sunday and will get all our letters on Sunday.

Comment by Dallas_ann(ship03/div235) on June 9, 2011 at 8:40pm: I didn't get my letter either...ughhh! I am hoping I get it tomorrow. I am also rural so it probably does take an extra couple days to get here.

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on June 9, 2011 at 7:10pm: Did anyone get "the letter" today. We are sooo rural, I think mine will take at least an extra day. I'm really stressing about it.

Comment by G'SMOM (SHIP 7 DIV 194) on June 9, 2011 at 6:44pm: hello everyone...I am sitting at my hotel in great lakes. my daughter is graduating tomorrow. but i'm in writting to you to say hang in there this is going to be the longest 2 months of your life, so use eachother for support. your going to need it. write your SR as ofter as possible and get everyone you know to write them too. my daughter said thats what keeps them going they get mail every night once it starts to come(they have to train a mail person first). good luck to all of you and your SR's. and if your interested in a cheap hotel the red carpet inn is $50 a night(thru expedia) the room is good and it is so close the base and there is a really good resturant right in the parking lot (flannagins. food was good) well were off to the meet and greet. check the pir 6-10 group in a couple of days and we should be posting pictures of graduation.

GOOD LUCK to YOU ALL

Comment by HM__Mom Ruth on June 9, 2011 at 9:28am: Divisions 237 & 238 are on ship 11.

Comment by diannep on June 9, 2011 at 8:29am: The division number is the important part. The ship numbers are just the "buildings" they stay in.

Comment by NavyMom509 on June 8, 2011 at 11:56pm: So far all I have seen is Ship 3 Div 235. Aren't there like 17 ships there?

Comment by Lisa on June 8, 2011 at 11:45pm: Hello everyone,

My fiance is on Ship 3 Div 235!!! Is there anyone else in this group that has anyone in this ship and division?

Comment by NavyMom509 on June 8, 2011 at 7:57pm: Hi everyone. Add my SR to the list on Ship 03 Div 235. Got my form letter today. Since the mail already came today I guess I will wait until tomorrow to send off my first 3 letters! PIR as scheduled. (good guess).....and whew... I made it on the guest list! I think a few of our SR's are also HM.
