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 JM-ISmomx2 on October 12, 2010 at 7:03pm: I wanted to welcome all the new Moms who have SR graduating on 11/24. It is definately an exciting ride and it is always nice to have others who will support you during the ups and downs. And since everyone is in the same situation you know that the feelings shared are familiar and understood.
I have a request for my recruit. He is at bootcamp with all of your recruits but he is currently on LLD waiting for a waiver. They sometimes have to watch what they say during their medicals because a simple statement can get blown out of porportion. For a kid who was very athletic since the age of 5 he is now sitting around waiting for the wheels to get moving again. I am just praying that things get cleared up soon.

Comment by StarChild (Ship9 Div007) on October 12, 2010 at 7:01pm: I GOT THE LETTER TODAY!!!!!! I was excited but I did not cry. I was so happy to hear from him. He wrote a note telling us how he is adapting to military life. His PIR is 11/24 and his ship is 09 and div 007.

Comment by Deneen(Nurse McGyver) on October 12, 2010 at 7:00pm: I wonder how many will be grad and go? My luck my daughter will

Comment by srm54 (Ship 9, Div 005) on October 12, 2010 at 4:09pm: CC0727 - That is terrific. I wish I could stay longer, it just didn't work out for me. But at least on Saturday and Sunday the recruits who don't have family there will get to go do things together. I've heard that they go to the mall, etc in groups. Share taxi costs or take the train into chicago.

Comment by CC0727 on October 12, 2010 at 3:40pm: : ) i called the public affairs office that was listed in the form letter with the PIR date and they said that the Liberty days for the 11-24 PIR would be Wed - Sun with the normal Liberty hours (no overnights). I hope the info given is correct because that is AWESOME!!!!

Comment by srm54 (Ship 9, Div 005) on October 12, 2010 at 2:01pm: Mary that's terrific. I know you were not looking forward to going alone. (I would be the same)

Comment by srm54 (Ship 9, Div 005) on October 12, 2010 at 1:29pm: Lala Ribbon Queen - I know, only 5 divisions. That should help those who would like more than 4 to attend.

Comment by srm54 (Ship 9, Div 005) on October 12, 2010 at 1:29pm: Mary - nothing yet. But there was no mail service yesterday so maybe today or later this week. I have heard that they have time to write on Sunday so it may be later this week. Are you still going alone? Or has your boyfriend managed to get time off.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 12, 2010 at 1:16pm: Wow, that is a small group, good thing is you can take your whole family for PIR and Thanksgiving. :-) I hope everyone is having a great day.

Comment by srm54 (Ship 9, Div 005) on October 12, 2010 at 1:09pm: Okay, we are officially on the graduation schedule. Here are the divisions graduating on 11/24
