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 cheryllynn-proud mom of a sailor on September 23, 2010 at 3:59pm: cherylt...my son is same ship and div...no letter today...missed the call that came that first Saturday. Wasn't expecting it....have you joined the group for the ship and div.? I haven't seen you there...there are a couple of moms and a dad too...

Comment by Miasmom Proud sister of a Sailor on September 23, 2010 at 3:45pm: Woot woot, 2 letters for meeeeee!!! :) :)

Comment by Mom of Joshua, the MA on September 23, 2010 at 3:28pm: Three letters in the mail, today! YIPPEE!! lol

Comment by Miasmom Proud sister of a Sailor on September 23, 2010 at 2:01pm: cherylt - if your SR is in a 900 Div, then they will perform in the PIR ceremonies prior to their own. They are then considered Jr. Divisions...... Typically it's while they're in the 6th-7th weeks (but I'm not certain since they're won't actually be a PIR the week of Oct.22). RTC FB page post pics of each graduating PIR.

Comment by PattiM-proud mom of sailor Alex on September 23, 2010 at 1:49pm: Still no phone call, but got a very upbeat letter today. Apparently my son's division hasn't learned how to keep quiet so they have done alot of IT(which explains why there hasn't been a phone call), but it hasn't gotten him down, in fact I think he is enjoying the workout. I am amazed at the change I "see" in him, just in his letters and I can't wait to see him on 10/29!!

Comment by Cheryl Mom Nuke ET on September 23, 2010 at 1:46pm: miasmommie Ship 02 Div 949 -- What do you mean by: 2 more weeks and we should be able to catch a glimpse of our 900 Divisions on RTC FB site for upcoming PIR ceremonies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm new at this. Thanks!

Comment by Miasmom Proud sister of a Sailor on September 23, 2010 at 12:11pm: *** Div 949 ***

Keeping our fingers crossed for calls on the 26th....keep in mind that if their RDC's 'think they deserve a call' it has to scheduled in advance. That being said they must've been on their best behavior PRIOR to this week.

Comment by MRs L* on September 23, 2010 at 12:07pm: suesmom: i feel that me writing def helps me too. i find little things that we use to laugh and joke about and put them in my letters. i feel better knowing that he gets to hear from me more so then me hear from him. but its nice to get a little reassurance that hes okay
