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 Miasmom Proud sister of a Sailor on August 30, 2010 at 10:47pm: My mom recieved my sister's box on Friday and form letter today (we're in GA). I told her to check for a secret note she possibly snuck in but there wasn't one. Now time to searcg flight and hotels!!

Comment by Kammy on August 30, 2010 at 8:01pm: Just got my form letter today very excited to hear from him, even if it was just one little note at the end - at least I know the address to send him letters now

Comment by Mom-to sailor-Alli_Div950-10/29 on August 30, 2010 at 7:12pm: So I called and she is on Ship 02 USS Ruben James.... Recruiter did not know her PIR date and said it really won't be finalized until week 5 or 6... *sigh* . . but at least I have an address to write to her!!

Comment by suesmom ship7 div 350 PIR 10/29 on August 30, 2010 at 5:29pm: hello. I called my daughters recruiter after mail came with no letter. He said he had no idea of what her address might be or what division she is in. he said I should call him when I find out her address. Oh well. I guess I will have to wait and see.

Comment by momof3 on August 30, 2010 at 5:16pm: How do you know if they're Grad & Go?

Comment by momof3 on August 30, 2010 at 4:45pm: Got the letter today! He left on 25th of August.

Comment by Tracye** Diva Rambo** on August 30, 2010 at 11:49am: Well my daughters division just posted im in the 10-15 grad date....i wish you all well and thanks for letting me hang in here for a bit....

Comment by Mom-to sailor-Alli_Div950-10/29 on August 29, 2010 at 11:47pm: I am so going to be on the phone in the morning.... She signed up in Oregon City OR and I live in Anaheim, CA ... she moved away some time ago...

Comment by suesmom ship7 div 350 PIR 10/29 on August 29, 2010 at 11:10pm: Hello all. My daughter also left on the 24th to go to MEPS then to bootcamp on the 25. I have not received any letters so I do not know if this is her PIR date or not but I would think it is. It is so confusing to me. I miss her very much...

Comment by Mom-to sailor-Alli_Div950-10/29 on August 29, 2010 at 10:08pm: Allison left 8/25 also and I kinda figured that her PIR would be at the end of Oct. I have not received anything yet, but am anxiously waiting. I am hoping all the siblings will fly to Cgo for the PIR. Even if they can't get in, we can all be together.
