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."

Jessica - I'm confused about this. We have a discussion in this PIR group for Div 042. But that's not the same as a group, right? Do we need both? Looks like 908 does have both. I'm just unsure about what we need and where I would post if there were 2! Thanks for any enlightenment!

Comment by NS on November 20, 2010 at 4:56pm

Comment by Bubba's Mom on November 20, 2010 at 4:39pm
This ? might seem silly but where is this countdown clock I have seen comments but no clock

GOT MY LETTER, what a relief it was just to see my sons handwriting on paper, it was written just after the first week and he seems to be doing well after that. I have started a group for Ship 2 Div 908 and look forward to talking with all you Mom's .
Comment by diannep on November 20, 2010 at 2:08pm
Hi everyone...another veteran mom, like Lynne, Jessica, Lydia and Lala...here to help. Between all of us helping, hopefully someone will always be on quickly to catch questions!

Lala, Lydia, and Lynne have recent graduates....Jessica and I had sailors PIR in Jan/Feb this yr. So hopefully we will have a nice combination of older and newer info.

Hoping that your date is on the Upcoming Navy Graduatons page soon and that the form letters arrive so you can check your division number with the ones that will be assigned to this group!

Current weather temps in Great Lakes 39 degrees with clear skies ~

Thanks Lynne! As you know my daughter arrived 11/10 and neither her boyfriend or I have received the form letter...but we are both on the West Coast so that may be it too. It looks as though many who have received their letters arrived on 11/9 and live pretty close by, MN, NY etc.
