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 dukelvr on July 2, 2012 at 7:58pm: I can't wait to find out his ship and division number! It will be awesome if he is in the same ship and division number as some of y'all. I think it will be another week till I find out something from his mom though :( I really wish I could fast forward through all this!!

Comment by Geraley T on July 2, 2012 at 7:50pm: Hi all! As I said before in the Boot Camp Moms group. I finally heard from my son's recruiter and he gave me his ship/Div number. Soooo, really hope I am in the right place now LOL. Lara(Navy Mom of 3) *waves happily* Due to my being a TOTAL newbie at this, I was unable to send the friend request. Hopefully we can maintain contact here though.

Comment by loveofanavymilso on July 2, 2012 at 5:29pm: Hello everyone! My boyfriend left for bootcamp June 26th. I am really hoping this is his PIR date! We haven't got the kid in the box or form letter yet! Hopefully will come very soon. Any other girlfriends on here that want to talk about anything I am here! I would love to exchange numbers of something so we can talk if we ever need a pick-me-up or support when we have a bad day.
