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 diannep on June 8, 2011 at 5:32pm: 2sailorsonsmom: HA! Well, no worries...if you are really NICE to him and write him lots of letters, I bet he will add you when he gets to finalize the list shortly before PIR! :-)

Comment by 2sailorsonsmom on June 8, 2011 at 4:04pm: I got my sons form letter today. He's in Ship 3 Div 235 PIR is 7/29. Lol.. He forgot to put me on his Guest list.

Comment by diannep on June 8, 2011 at 10:54am: Well, hey, Connie!

Comment by Connie(Memphis Belle) on June 8, 2011 at 1:06am: hello all you new Navy Mommas!!! so you have survived the first week!!! hang in there....the letters and calls will come. not as often as you like but they will come! there's a quote on here from 2008 "mail call is like the ice cream truck just arrived at the park on a very hot day". Summer is fast approaching....send your SR a "popsicle" in the form of a letter as often as you can : ) even if you SR isn't a writer...keep writing to them. btw i feel like i "survived" BC too! my Airman will be joining the fleet in a couple of months...he's still in school in Va.

hey Lala and DianneP-fancy seeing you two here : )

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 7, 2011 at 8:24pm: I remember waiting on that form letter. I didn't think it was ever gonna come. And one mom hadn't received hers after 3 weeks and had given up that it would ever come and found it had been left on the porch by the front door, Lol they never use that door because they go in through the garage :-)

Here are a couple of pics from last year in July that I thought you all may want to see. They used Sailors from the bases in Great Lakes to make the Human Flag. It is so beautiful, I just loved it.

Comment by NavyMom509 on June 7, 2011 at 8:14pm: I didn't want to call the recruiter. I am hoping to get the letter for ship/div but it didn't come today.

Comment by NavyMom509 on June 7, 2011 at 8:11pm: I took the whole sequence... removing 1 piece at a time. When I got to the bottom the pant legs were not still rolled up!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 7, 2011 at 8:08pm: I really wish I had thought to take a pic of the "kid in the box" it would have been great for the scrapbook :-)

Comment by Dallas_ann(ship03/div235) on June 7, 2011 at 4:18pm: My hubby is on ship 3 division 235....so im assuming that his pir will be 7/29!! I can not wait to hear from him.

Comment by diannep on June 7, 2011 at 1:25pm: I know, Lala. So funny. My son went up there in shorts....yep, in NOV! True S. Florida boy...had no clue. So I didnt' get the rolled up pants so had no clue what it was the first time someone mentioned it!
