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 Tamme on December 28, 2010 at 6:41pm: We barely made it out as well. It was such an exciting day though. First White Christmas Chicago had in 13 years though! Figures.

Comment by AshJewell on December 28, 2010 at 1:11pm: NS-E is NOT that smart. I am lucky he ordered pictures. I heard you can order them at PIR, which is what I will probably do! Thanks for the input ladies!

Comment by PJ on December 28, 2010 at 12:23pm: Blessed, was Div 039 they only ones at the Church? Still searching for pictures of Ship 07, Div. 046....Thank you

Comment by NS on December 28, 2010 at 11:53am: Ash- did you check with E to make sure he didn't order them? J said he ordered me a hoodie, & t shirt, his mom a shirt and some stuff for himself.

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2010 at 11:43am: Ash, you should be able to order them at the NEX right after PIR. Or maybe your recruit ordered them? Some do.

Comment by AshJewell on December 28, 2010 at 11:37am: Thanks, maybe I will just wait to order them!

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2010 at 11:27am: Ash, I would ask them that. Mine took a few weeks. Can you send them to a relative or friend's address just to make sure?

Comment by AshJewell on December 28, 2010 at 11:18am: division shirts: If I order them now, when can I expect to get them, because my shipping address is going to change a week after my SR graduates.

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2010 at 10:35am: Battlestations for Div 39-40 (brother divisions) most likely will be Thurs, Jan 6th. Thurs is usually the first day of BattleStations a week before PIR for the larger groups like yours. I will start a BattleStations discussion above...please ask your recruits their date, post on here and in the discussion group, and maybe we can get a schedule up there. They can have up to 4 divisions go at once....brother divisions go together. Here are the brother divisions in your PIR group:

39+40, 41+42, 43+44, 45+46, 47+48---908 will most likely tag on to 2 brother divisions, or could go alone.

Comment by Alysia-Redsmom (VQ-4/ATO) on December 28, 2010 at 10:33am: @Jessica - thanks for the last minute tips. I printed them out to have when packing. I already got the suit cases down and started putting items in there that I may need that i don't use everyday ie: binoculars, son's items (cell, laptop, Ipod etc...even his camera).

THANKS AGAIN :-)
