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 S12/D342-Yamile/Christian's Mom on September 8, 2010 at 9:51pm: That's for sure... You are one of kind.... He is so good that my husband who did not have any appreciation for art.... sees art from a totally different point of view now....Yeah, I would love to meet all of you during M&G, although I was reading someone else past experiences at the Ramada and I am having second thought about that particular place....

Comment by S12/D342-Yamile/Christian's Mom on September 8, 2010 at 9:34pm: Hi Ashley,
I I would love for you to meet my son on PIR day..... he is an artist too and your drawings are so much like his..... and thanks for offering your artistic knowledge to this group.

Comment by gmarie1113 on September 8, 2010 at 7:45pm: My boyfriend left on the 24th I hope his mom gets it soon.

Comment by trisha on September 8, 2010 at 7:44pm: Regarding PIR - you will get the 4 that are on the list in for sure. Depending on how large your group is, you "may" be able to get more in. What happens is that they seat your 4 first, and then once it starts and everyone is seated, if there is extra room, then they will allow them in. OUr group only had 5 divisions, so it wasn't in issue.

Calls - yes, they can get an extra call for good perfomance, that happened with my sons division. Please don't anticipate calls based on other divisions, it will drive you crazy.

PST's - alot do miss times in the beginning but remember, their RDC's are invested in getting them through. They may end up with extra IT to help them, but I don't know of anyone in our PIR group that didn't make it due to times. I will say, keep sending postive letters, news from home, etc, it's what keeps them going in BC.

One note - lesson learned the hard way by someone in our PIR group - do NOT write anything on the outside of the envelope other than the addresses, as they can get in trouble for that. ALso, don't sent musical cards, they may end up standing at attention, singing the song for awhile if you do.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 8, 2010 at 7:35pm: My son arrived BC on August 19th....I got the form letter I believe on August 30th. It is cool because some of the other mothers got theirs the same day....this is a great website!

Comment by gmarie1113 on September 8, 2010 at 7:28pm: Well we haven't even received the form letter yet. Can you tell me when you received your letter.

Comment by timsmom submariner on September 8, 2010 at 7:26pm: I'm having the same problem ....the form letter says 4 people for graduation; however, I have a bunch of people that want to attend. Any suggestions?

Comment by gmarie1113 on September 8, 2010 at 7:24pm: Does anyone know if there is a limited amount of people that can come to graduation? I understand you have to be on a visitor list but do they have a limit? We have 5 or 6 family members wanting to go.

Comment by Navy Wife K on September 8, 2010 at 7:18pm: thanks :)

Comment by LoveUDrew/Ship12/Div343/PIR10/15 on September 8, 2010 at 7:12pm: Chris's wife thanks for sharing. Good to know Sunday might be the phone call day. Sooo glad you got a call and were able to talk to your husband. I hope they need more paperwork from you so he gets to call again.
