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 Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on October 18, 2010 at 1:42pm: Another idea, my son and I have SOME mutual friends of Facebook. So I have them write him comments or send me an email and I print and mail.

Comment by musicmom of a Sailor on October 18, 2010 at 1:31pm: Hi everyone : ) My son is set for PIR 10/29. He was getting plenty of letters from us and grandparents etc. but none from friends. I posted this on the bootcamp mom group and diannep asked me to post on some current PIRs for an idea to get your recruit's friends to write. My son's friends are all tech/video gamers. I think they'd get hives if they had to actually put pen to paper. So this is what we did this weekend.

Yesterday we invited a bunch of his friends over and had a letter writing party. They took turns sitting down at the computer and writing a short note to him. I mailed them this morning. Worked great : )

Comment by diannep on October 18, 2010 at 1:19pm: 5.0 is GREAT! The highest you can get. Sounds like maybe the P1/WT1 are his first tests??? Havent heard those terms before....Jessica??? Do you know?

Not sure what exactly this all means, But I know the division is pulling together and they got a FLAG YEAA And he sounds excited..... I'm so proud of OUR Boys..... Tammy

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on October 17, 2010 at 9:48pm: Bebparts I sent you a message..in your inbox

Comment by B2bparts ship07DIV363Pir 11/05 on October 17, 2010 at 9:29pm: Is it the same password for all recuits in his division???

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 9:28pm: Bebparts: He can't send you a parking pass...you have to download it. But he can write the password in a letter or tell you when he calls. Keep asking him. His fellow recruits will know it if he doesn't remember it.
