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 Missyssailor(ship02div942) on July 28, 2011 at 10:00am: Can anyone tell me if it's ok to send postcards? Just from vacation, nothing crazy.

Comment by diannep on July 28, 2011 at 8:13am: kmanmom: Sounds like she was in processing for about 10 days. That is an average length of time for processing days.

sleepgirl: Here is the order form for the division tshirts:

Comment by sleepgirl on July 27, 2011 at 11:58pm: erinlynn- where did you order a division shirt from??

Comment by sleepgirl on July 27, 2011 at 11:56pm: Proud Mama- thougths and prayers for you and your daughter. God doesn't make mistakes so He has something planned for her!! Best wishes!!

Comment by kmanmom on July 27, 2011 at 10:09pm: Prayers are with you Proud Mama. I did get a letter today and my SR 'sounded' good. Can anyone tell me what 'road guard' is? At least that is what I thought my SR wrote (handwritting needs some improvement lol) Letter was dated 22July and said they were on 1-5. My SR left on 7July so I thought they would be further along than that, but maybe I am off on my calendar.

Comment by diannep on July 27, 2011 at 9:31pm: ProudMama: Prayers for your daughter...and you...and that the Lord reveals His plan for her life, as you said.

Comment by Proud Mama on July 27, 2011 at 9:18pm: i too got a call today - :( -my daughter is being sent home on a honorable medical discharge -not sure when that will be - she standin strong knowin God has other plans for her - my very best to all the Moms and SR

Comment by Crystal(ship11div282)(EM1150) on July 27, 2011 at 9:15pm: Recieved a phone call and letters today, very happy mom!!!!! Hoping others will get some letters today and calls. Have a great day.

Comment by diannep on July 27, 2011 at 8:38pm: erinlynn: You should get it before PIR...they usually mail out about a week or so before. Some do arrive before PIR. Did you ask them when they would be mailing it when you ordered it?

kresgeball: BattleStations for this group will probably be:

Wed or Thurs night, Aug 24th or 25th (or maybe both nights since you are a Thurs PIR date)

Sun/Mon (28th/29th), Mon/Tues (29th/30th), possibly Tues/Wed(30th/31st)

There are 13 divisions to get through so they probably will be doing 4 divisions most nights.

Comment by erinlynn87(7/289) on July 27, 2011 at 6:00pm: I ordered a division t-shirt today, has anyone else done this? I read somewhere it takes forever for them to come in! I kinda wanted mine before PIR...any clue on how long it takes?
