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 niauz(Proud Sailor Mom) on September 2, 2010 at 2:26am: are there any other moms from hawaii?

Comment by niauz(Proud Sailor Mom) on September 2, 2010 at 2:15am: Mary K- thanks for sharing that my son and my nephew both left on 8/24 they are both in the same DIV 949 ship 06. they both did the buddy system not sure what that is? but glad they are together for support! i got my box and letter on mon haven't been able to unpack it yet because i start crying this is so hard! happy that i have an adress now! now it's coming up with the money to go to graduation it's expensive to fly from hawaii!

Comment by suesmom ship7 div 350 PIR 10/29 on September 1, 2010 at 4:10pm: ranaeaw I am glad to hear that another mom is in tears everyday. I have tried so hard to keep from crying but it seems little things just start the water works going. very embarrasing at the grocery store!!!!!!!!. I have one son in the army, one in the air force and now my daughter in the navy. one would think I would be used to this but it is far worse with my daughter...

Comment by ranaeaw (ship 03 div 316) on September 1, 2010 at 1:17pm: Well that explains the pants thing - lol - It was like he just undressed and stuffed it all in the box, like a typical kid. That won't be happening again I'm sure. I truly love all the support and comments made on this site. So glad I saw it advertised earlier this year. I don't know any other Navy moms personnally in my area, so this has been my sole support in the way of finding out any information. Thanks to you all!

Comment by Elaine-PIR 10/1/10 on September 1, 2010 at 12:28pm: ranaeaw, The pants are rolled up when they measure them for their new boots/tennies. Most of the moms in my group, PIR 10/1/10, said the same thing. Hadn't seen that question in a couple of weeks. Have a great day, now you will get the form letter in the next few days. Then a letter in week 2, call around week 3. We are here for you, we are "seasoned" moms now after 3 weeks, Haha. Have a great day.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on September 1, 2010 at 12:25pm: lol, they roll the pants leg up to measure them for their new shoes and boots. :)

Comment by ranaeaw (ship 03 div 316) on September 1, 2010 at 12:20pm: Got my box too yesterday - lol - kind of wonder why his pants were rolled up to the knees. Just waiting for the letter and address too. After a month of near tears every single day, I just smile now the last couple of days knowing that no news is good news as far as the recruits are concerned.

Comment by niauz(Proud Sailor Mom) on September 1, 2010 at 5:17am: i'm so greatful for this website my son and nephew are both at bc! they are both ship 6 div949 i hope ther'e not grad ang go! and the ribbons are beautiful i hope i can order some! thanks for all your post i'm learning a lot!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 31, 2010 at 2:35pm: miasmommie- here is a pic of the red one you asked about and there is also black. You can get silver or gold letters on any of them.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 31, 2010 at 2:30pm: Sobe is correct, I saw my daughter in pictures posted on facebook and by other moms on here. She was in the front right beside the mic singing with the choir and it wasn't even her PIR. It was so awesome to see her in her dress white uniform. I printed a copy of it and mailed it to her. She was shocked and couldn't believe I had a copy of it. Never underestimate the power of a N4M Mom lol.
