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 diannep on October 24, 2010 at 8:04pm: TrackerMom: The long private shower after PIR for my son was one of his fav things! Mine just wanted to "hang out" and ride around, seeing the surrounding area that he had been in for 8 weeks but had never seen. Very low key. Others want to do lots of stuff! So just let your sailor do the choosing!

Comment by TrackerMom on October 24, 2010 at 7:08pm: Got letters and a phone call from my boy...so good to hear his voice, I just wish he could've called when I was at home so his dad could be on the phone too. He sounds good, but still struggling with the home sickness a bit. He passed his swim quals and says he's section leader - he said that's stressful. He was supposed to get wisdom teeth pulled too but he was told they will be pulled at A school. I think the time with him at graduation will be best spent doing things he can't do now - like a LONG private shower! Can't wait to see him and to meet you other moms!!

Comment by bubbymom (Nadine) ship 09 div 08 on October 24, 2010 at 5:34pm: Thanks JM donuts and cookies, that will get my son there everytime....smile. I pray he's going to church. Two Navy retirees told me "if they didnt know God before boot camp they found Him while they were there". Two different people in different parts of the US said that on the same day. I had to laugh...to me that was God's way of saying mom dont worry your son is praying.....

Comment by JM-ISmomx2 on October 24, 2010 at 4:01pm: Just know that today was a day of some rest for your recruits. A chance to write letters, go to church (were the RDC's aren't allowed) some go for the donuts and cookies but all are welcome. My son is one of the RPO's that helps out.

Comment by StarChild (Ship9 Div007) on October 23, 2010 at 7:26pm: Looking forward to the Meet and Greet. I will be arriving close to that time so I will be rushing.

Comment by Deneen(Nurse McGyver) on October 23, 2010 at 6:43pm: PIR 11/24/10 Meet and Greet Ramada Inn; Waukegan IL
November 23, 2010 from 6pm to 8pm – Ramada Inn Waukegan IL
This is the meet and greet for families of divisions completing PIR on 11/24/10

Comment by StarChild (Ship9 Div007) on October 23, 2010 at 6:23pm: Deneen-I have not received a letter nor a call. We can not give up. I know what you mean by saying that. If we say 'I give up' we pretend we are not thinking about it but we really are. Diannp is right. We will get it when we least expect it.
I can feel my nerves unraveling and my heart beating faster. Anxiety!!! I felt the same way when I hadn't received the form letter and when I got it I was on top of the world. But I can say that I feel better that someone is going through what I am. Thank goodness for N4M.
