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 HeatherSRfiancee(Shp2/Div952) on October 8, 2010 at 9:53am: Thank you Kqswife! Hope you get some letters soon!! They always make the day 100% better!

Comment by Tobianne on October 8, 2010 at 8:42am: Sobe-

I think you meant to say hi to us and that you were back, but you meant to post on 11/19 that they are the Tg-1. I do not think we a have any div. that start with 001. If we do just ignore this whole post here!! lol.

We are so glad to have you back in motion though. Slow though, do not live on the computer as you did. We do however appreciate all you do.

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 8, 2010 at 8:19am: St pete mom- I know the feeling!!!I have all the texts that he sent before he left and the ones that iv recieved since he left i keep deleting them so they dont take up room and make his go away!LOL!! I read them over and overall the time:)I cant wait til after BC too!!!!

Comment by Mom from St Pete on October 8, 2010 at 6:47am: Happy for all who got letters...... I am happy we only have 35 days to go. Soon it will be only a month. Wow I can;t wait to see my son. Miss him so much. I still look at my phone every once in a while for a text:( Our family signed up for the family plan for texting just to receive texts from him once he Graduates and is in A school. Can't wait for more freedom and to be able to just call him in the evening to say hello.....

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on October 8, 2010 at 5:14am: Hey Sobe! Good to see you! Thanks for the information on the 900 division, it's always good to learn as much as we can. I hope you are feeling 100% soon.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on October 7, 2010 at 9:58pm: Hows everyone doing? Sounds like this group is finally getting letters and a few even got some calls - that's awesome!

I'm usually pretty active on the PIR groups, but I've had some health issues and I am slowly coming back on this site.

I just posted some cool info in the discussion area about 900 Divisions - hope you like it. This is a very special group - you are the first to graduate in the new "Division year". This is why your Training Group (TG) is 01 on the RTC website and your division numbers start at 001, 901 and if you had a Special Ops division, that would of been 801. The first group to graduate after Veterans Day - very special indeed!

Comment by savannahgal-nukemom1110MT on October 7, 2010 at 9:55pm: Toni, glad to see another from Ship 11 Div 370! My son Dennis is there. He's 22. Sounds like a lot of them in that Div are older, probably just a coincidence. Any news you hear about the Div, please pass along! We have our own group, too, but not too many posting here with SRs in that Div so far. Think you're the 4th or 5th.

Comment by Kgswifeforever on October 7, 2010 at 8:31pm: Glad you got letters heather:) Im still waiting on letters from my hubby will prob get them tomorrow or saturday... can't wait!!! the phone call on Sunday was great. Hubby said he went to church too:) he sounded real positive! im so glad those first weeks are over too! wheewww... that was a difficult time for all of us i think! Full steam ahead now! glad your SR is feeling better:)

Comment by HeatherSRfiancee(Shp2/Div952) on October 7, 2010 at 8:17pm: Missed you too Diana, I got a 2 letters today! My SR said he had to spend Fri and Sat in SIQ but he's feeling much better and can finally taste his food again, as of Sun- he felt good enough to enjoy their first "holiday" so I was ecstatic to hear that!! I hope they had a great time!! Any letters for you this week? So glad the first few weeks are over- our letter conversations are becoming more in sync so it's almost like having a phone conversation!!

Comment by Tobianne on October 7, 2010 at 4:39pm: Sharon- that is so odd,
I have four K's also. Kyle, Kayla, Keegan (she is 11), and Kadence (she is my 5 year old). For a while like 3 years we had the boyfriend and he was a K also. His 4 brothers were also K's. One being a Kory. He was Kody. We are not sad that he is gone!! lol He was a bad influence on Kayla. Later after they split he got into drugs and wrecked his car saying it was Kayla's fault... he was drunk!

But yes how neat, since our Kyles are in the same div and have K sibs....

Good luck with the dinner, oh and just something to pass on to your Kyle, my boy was his HS starter pitcher. He only stopped playing in his Sr. year due to his work and apprenticeship. I think he missed it and I am sure will find a softball team when he gets to his duty station. He is one to stay active. Riding 4 wheelers he has a sideXside and he loves to be on that any chance he gets.
