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 Deneen(Nurse McGyver) on October 12, 2010 at 12:18pm: I started a group for PIR 11/24 division 902

Comment by srm54 (Ship 9, Div 005) on October 12, 2010 at 12:09pm: Kevinsproudmom - I haven't received anything but the offical letter. Hope to get one soon. My son is not much of a letter writer but I hope they MAKE him write a letter. lol

Comment by Deneen(Nurse McGyver) on October 12, 2010 at 11:50am: Also remember 10/11 was a federal holiday. The post office has to catch up.

Comment by Deneen(Nurse McGyver) on October 12, 2010 at 11:48am: I haven't received a letter or phone call yet either. This is their first real week of BC so they probably haven't had any free time as they were processing all last week . I'm not looking for anything or looking to hear from her for at least another week.

Comment by StarChild (Ship9 Div007) on October 12, 2010 at 10:33am: Lori, tell your daughter to let her friend's mom know that my son left on 10/4 as well and I have not received my letter yet. I have been getting nervous and I called Great Lakes this morning. I was reassured that the letter was mailed and I need to wait for the USPS.

Comment by Lori (Ship03/Div312-PIR9/17) on October 11, 2010 at 10:14pm: BTW, my daughter's friend left 10/4 from Brandon, FL and her mom hasn't gotten her letter yet..that is why I am on here! Mom's support....HooYay!

Comment by Lori (Ship03/Div312-PIR9/17) on October 11, 2010 at 10:12pm: My daughter just graduated 9/17: She left Tampa, FL 7/21...we did not get her letter with her PIR (graduation date until Monday 8/2 ..I think the "kid in a box" with all her stuff was around the same date) Fast forward to 8/16 when we got a TON of letters in the mailbox around noontime and my husband went home to start reading them all to me at work...when a call came in to my cell phone at work...IT WAS HER CALLING! I was already crying! What an awesome day! Her division was slow to form and she got there on a Wednesday putting her a week later than we thought...but based on what might happen (they get hurt, sick, etc. and may get set back a week) you might be a week later than expected. Believe ME...it is ALL WORTH IT! You will be so happy whatever date they get! We had the absolute best time just hanging out with our Sailor and SO PROUD!! :> )

Comment by ljr23 on October 11, 2010 at 7:48pm: StarChild - my son left on 9/21 and we did not receive anything in the mail until 10/7 (over 2 weeks later). I was getting very impatient and worried and then the letter finally came. Hang in there!

Comment by StarChild (Ship9 Div007) on October 11, 2010 at 7:07pm: I have not received my letter yet so I do not know when my PIR will be. My son left Oct 4. Could anyone help me?

Comment by AndreaS61 on October 11, 2010 at 4:11pm: I love the countdown clock too. It takes our focus off how long our kids have been gone and helps us look ahead to PIR.
