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 Mom of Joshua, the MA on September 13, 2010 at 11:31pm: TCarp - If your son has been gone for more than 72 hours, you should be able to contact his recruiter to get his Ship/Division and mailing info. That will at least help you to calculate about when his PIR will be. (I don't know about the pictures, but I'm sure someone else will know!)

Comment by TCarp0328 on September 13, 2010 at 11:25pm: Also I have another question- I was told there is some where, where you go and look at pictures of them. Where is it and how do you do it?

Comment by TCarp0328 on September 13, 2010 at 11:12pm: Thanks Ladies. I have been on pins and needles waiting for my first letter and the date for graduation. His recruiter told him he could be put in the rush division and if so that would mean he would graduate on 10/29. So I guess I will have to wait another week to see.

Comment by TCarp0328 on September 13, 2010 at 11:04pm: Thats good. So I am guessing he will probably be graduating the following week since he left a week after yours.

Comment by MRs L* on September 13, 2010 at 10:51pm: TCarp: my husband left 9/1 and this is his PIR date..

Comment by TCarp0328 on September 13, 2010 at 10:29pm: Hello- I have a quick question when did your recruits leave? My husband left 9/7 and I was wondering if he will be graduating on this date. I havent recieved no letters or anything yet. But just like I said he left 9/7. Any info would help.

Comment by MRs L* on September 13, 2010 at 10:24pm: nope my mother in law said his "mom mom" said she didn't see it o there but she doesn't know how its supposed to look. so i will know wed but imma call the recruiter tmw and see if he has it

Comment by kim_mom of sailor Div 349 on September 13, 2010 at 10:19pm: Kev's mom - What type of A school will your son be doing? I am still confused as to the whole process, but I think Katie will be staying at Great Lakes for A school for ET.

Comment by kim_mom of sailor Div 349 on September 13, 2010 at 10:16pm: hiswife_hermom - Yah!! One week closer is always good news. Do you know what his ship and division is?

Comment by MRs L* on September 13, 2010 at 9:51pm: so after lots of confusion and nonsense about why i havent gotten anything from my sailor (he lost my address) ugh!!!! my grandmother in law got my husbands PIR date which is 10/29. a week ahead of what i thought but thats a week sooner :D
