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 July 15, 2012 at 3:53pm: Racers'sMom: I think you may have bootcamp weeks mixed up with training weeks...remember, there are 8 bootcamp weeks. They have processing days before training weeks start and like I said below, some "down time" days after BattleStations. 267/268 most likelyl is starting training week 1 this week....my guess is the middle of the week.

Comment by diannep on July 15, 2012 at 3:47pm: Greta: Brother divisions will be on the same week/day as they train together. 261/262 will be the furthest along....267/268 bringing up the end. Their day 1 can be any dayof the week....Monday through Friday. Weekends/holidays do not count in the day count. They are on HOLD during those days for training purposes.

My best guess right now is that the lowest-numbered divisions are in the middle of training week 1. There are 6 training weeks...they have completed training by 6-5 (week 6/day 5). The lowered-numbered divisions may have a week of bootcamp after BattleStations before PIR....the higher-numbered divisions may just have a couple of days after BattleStations before PIR.

Best way to find out is this: Ask your SR! Either in a letter or if you get a call. Find out what week/day that was. Write it on your calendar. Since there are no holidays for this group, they will only be on hold during weekends.

Comment by Greta on July 15, 2012 at 11:50am: Okay, my SR did not include his week/day in his letters. Does anyone happen to know what week they're about to begin? It is Monday - Sunday, right? Just trying to figure out what he'll be up to this week. Also, it was lovely to drink my coffee this morning and imagine him writing me a letter before church. Happy Sunday, all!

Comment by diannep on July 15, 2012 at 10:15am: Discussion is Ship 261 and 262 (Brother Divisions) in the Forum with all of the info!

Comment by diannep on July 15, 2012 at 10:15am: gamom: Be sure to join your discussion above too to meet ladies who have SRs with yours. Stay on this page as well!

Comment by diannep on July 14, 2012 at 2:12pm: I think you have the totally right attitude about this, Race'sMom! And....I too would be claiming the "no news is good news!" Hopefully, you will have an answer soon!

Comment by Momof5 on July 13, 2012 at 9:15pm: I have sent all of mine to the 3505 address- my SR sent a letter with 3405- but he said he was getting my letters.

Comment by Hunter518 on July 13, 2012 at 9:07pm: I mailed band aids the other day before the posts about letters not being too thick :( there were also 2 calling cards in the envelope. I really hope he gets it and there are no repercussions of it. I'm worried now!
