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 Jenelle on August 1, 2011 at 2:35pm: BritneyMarie..my son is also in a push division...he went up on July 6th and PIRing on 9/1, twice he's talked to me and said he is in a Push Div....but the date has not changed! For him, I found out that they had many Pdays since they started in a middle of a week, plus it was a holiday week, so some of the boys that went up after 7/6 are all PIRing on 9/1...I think they are just calling that DIV a push because of the two weeks of processing/intake!

I could be wrong, but that is what I get out of his communication with me.

Anyone else in this same boat?

Comment by BritneyMarie (07/289) on August 1, 2011 at 2:09pm: Hi all! I have a question and I hope one of you amazing ladies can help me out...

I finally got my first letter from my SR on Saturday and within the letter he mentioned something. The first was that his division might be a push division to graduate even earlier than September 1st. Now if this is true when would he/we know about it? This is kind of rough because it makes it difficult for me to get my plane ticket and hotel room.

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 1, 2011 at 1:55pm: Hi Momofjess yes, there's a few of us. You can find us up top her with the ship # and div #, but just to make it easier here ya go. :) http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir09012011/forum/topics/ship-11-d...

Comment by momofjess on August 1, 2011 at 12:36pm: Is there any moms for ship 11 div 282 wants to chat...My girl is there.

Comment by Mom2JT on August 1, 2011 at 11:47am: My son called me on Friday, minutes after I logged off from work (I work from home). I almost lost it. He called my mom's cell and luckily she had come up to help me pack (I moved over the weekend).

It was SOOOOOO good to hear his voice. It's been rough, there were some complications when they pulled his wisdom teeth so He'd been in SIQ for about a week or so and he's concerned about passing his final PT. Still makes me a little teary. I found out that we will have most of the weekend with him which is good since his B-day is 9/3. I can't wait

Comment by ShelMaq on August 1, 2011 at 8:03am: Does anyone else have an SR that is a SeaBee? My husband will have A school in Gulf Port MS.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 31, 2011 at 10:28pm: Hi everyone, sorry I haven't really been on here much the last couple of days. We are home from the Keys, happy to be sleeping in our own bed tonight. I didn't have internet where we stayed last night and my phone charger for the car broke and I couldn't use my phone for internet because the battery was too low. The good thing is my Kindle was charged and I bought a new book this morning and read the entire novel by the time I got home, James Patterson's "Now You See Her" It was really good if you need a book to read :-) I also finished the Hunger Games trilogy yesterday which was awesome. They are filming the movie close to my house :-) I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend, I am already unpacked and will be back to working on ribbons tomorrow for all of you who have ordered them. Thanks so much it is good to be back :-)

Comment by JapanMom on July 31, 2011 at 6:13pm: Hello ladies-Not much happening here. Just waiting for letters and a phone call. I know my call will come in the middle of the night so I will be home. ONE MONTH and counting down!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 31, 2011 at 1:34pm: I know Dianne, I was starting to feel a little lonely on here. :)

Comment by diannep on July 31, 2011 at 1:23pm: Ok, where is everyone on this group?????? No posts in almost a day???? Everyone must be on vacation!
