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 SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 31, 2010 at 12:08pm: Morning,
Hope things are going well for everyone, you are one week closer to PIR!

I am working more hours the next couple of days so we can enjoy our sailor when he is here next week! Three more days til he comes home - I am soooooo excited!!!!

Don't forget, if you have Grad & Go questions, there's a discussion above that has the hyperlink to get to that group. Moms from last weeks graduating PIR group just posted their stories there.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 31, 2010 at 11:35am: That's true. It's interesting how some divisions have already made calls and others haven't.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 31, 2010 at 11:28am: Thanks, Jessica. Wish I knew what day of training he's on.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 31, 2010 at 11:28am: Pink - Yes.. waterproof mascara... you're going to need that for PIR in 44 DAYS!!:) :) :) HUGS!!!! I'm feeling the same way!

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on August 31, 2010 at 11:10am: Thanks Dana. I needed to hear that. And actually it was nice to be able to actually READ what he wrote!

I don't know why I bother putting makeup on anymore... I've just cried it all off and it's only 8:10 am here! I guess I should invest in some waterproof mascara huh?!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 31, 2010 at 11:08am: Pink - Don't feel sad!! I'm sure they were under pressure to write something quickly! You KNOW he loves you!

Also... that's the Navy way to write; all caps and lines through zeroes. Neatness is VERY important. He did good! Be proud!!!

The Navy teaches our kids LOTS of details on how they are expected to conduct themselves - proper writing included! :)

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on August 31, 2010 at 11:02am: Good Morning 10/15ers. I got my form letter last night when I got home. I'm happy to hear he's fine, but the handwriting doesn't look like his - it's printed in all caps - which he never did before. And there wasn't an I Love you Mom on there... it seemed kind of formal. So I'm having a sad day. He did say they had to wait for 4 days for the rest of the recruits to get there so they had it somewhat easy at first.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 31, 2010 at 10:02am: WOW! We have a lot of new members! Welcome!!! :)

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on August 31, 2010 at 9:47am: LikebetterwithaP - Welcome! We are all hoping to get "real" letters very soon! HUGS! :)

Comment by AbbyP on August 31, 2010 at 9:36am: Just got my husband's form letter yesterday!!! So excited to see just 3 sentences... the best 3 sentences I think I've ever read!!! Ship 12 Div 344 PIR 10/15/10! YAY!
