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."

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.

Comment by SueCasa on August 8, 2012 at 6:37pm: Jmarie, My sailor is also 244 and should be going to Pensacola. I'm really hoping for a phone call today/tonight so I have an idea of what he wants me to bring. Does anyone know if they might be able to call? We're leaving at o'dark hundred so need to finish packing tonight. Can't wait! His photos arrived---who is that serious young man?!?

Comment by nuclearpoweredmom/ship09Div247 on August 8, 2012 at 5:49pm: Calls for 247/248 are coming in!

Comment by Justin's mom (ship9 div247) on August 8, 2012 at 5:41pm: My son is a Sailor. Woohoo.. so happy

Comment by diannep on August 8, 2012 at 3:24pm: Hoping more calls start coming in soon! Please post when you get these!

Comment by diannep on August 8, 2012 at 3:24pm: You are very welcome Navy Mom Maria!

JmariesMom: Depends on their job. My son went from SR to SN (Seaman) because he was an E-3. There is also SA (Seaman Apprentice) which are E-2's. E-1s stay as SRs. Others will be known as "Airmen". Others are "Firemen."

Others are "Constructionmen".

Comment by SailorMom92 (DIV 244) on August 8, 2012 at 2:48pm: so now that we all have a Sailor-son/daughter/husband/wife-how are they known as? Ex: SR Smith, John or SR Smith, Jane

Comment by ellen0502 on August 8, 2012 at 1:39pm: Safe travels everyone!! You are so close to getting the best hug ever!

Comment by NavyMom Maria(Ship07, Div242) on August 8, 2012 at 12:41pm: Diannep- thank you during this time till our sailor PIR stay with us, gave us inform to whatever we have in mind, in good time and down time. May God bless you.

Comment by diannep on August 8, 2012 at 12:32pm: Safe travel for those leaving today!

Remember, get to PIR early! You won't regret it!

You can take snacks with you and they also have limited items to purchase there. Plan to be in the car line between 6 and 6:15 if driving; try to be on a shuttle by 6:30 or 6:45 if possible (shuttles bypass car lines). Check out different seating in your division section....balcony? Main floor? Check out camera settings and experiment while you wait for PIR to start..

But most importantly...ENJOY!
