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 MyHrtBlongs2ASubmariner on October 15, 2010 at 6:35pm: Ugh! JUst got his letter.. he IS grad n go and he also confirmed the whole division is a grad n go...

Comment by Robin(Corpsman-DA Mom) on October 15, 2010 at 6:33pm: We received letters today too! Not alot of new information except that they are coming together better as a division and their RDC's have starting playing music for them when they are working inside. (Real music, not Barney!) I don't guess they have taken their portraits yet, as of Sunday, because he said he would buy the package I wanted when the time came. He is friends with other NavyForMoms sons, so they think that is cool! He said they had started weapons training so that would have been last week. Hope you all get good news and more phone calls soon! 20 days and counting!!! Yea!

Comment by Trayalovesjohn on October 15, 2010 at 6:24pm: I recived letters today as well, he actually made me a questionnaire LOL. He also mentioned something about his dad not needeing a ticket to PIR, as long as he has his millitary ID (he was navy for like 30 years). Is that true? Has anyone ever heard anything about that?

Comment by Brooklyn on October 15, 2010 at 6:22pm: My husband is going to Pensacola for AIRC and said he's a G&G but not sure if leaving Fri or Sat...

LexiH -- did your SR say if he knew the day?

Comment by MyHrtBlongs2ASubmariner on October 15, 2010 at 5:17pm: Lexi- do you know if the whole Div is grad n go?? My husband is also in 358

Comment by Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on October 15, 2010 at 4:57pm: We're staying at Red Carpet Inn and they have a shuttle. The first letter you got from your recruit was a form letter with a brochure. The form letter had a few lines at the end that your recruit should have written in. The list of hotels is in that brochure your recruit sent at the beginning.

Comment by diannep on October 15, 2010 at 3:26pm: navygirl: I believe you have to take a taxi from the airport...it's not cheap, from what I'm told. GL is about 25 minutes away from the airport. I think it runs about $45-$50 each way. Some take a cab to the Chicago train station and go by train. The GL train station is right by the bases.

Comment by Kathy on October 15, 2010 at 2:48pm: Sorry to hear that Tracey, I also want to send my Thanks for his willingness to serve. Wish him all the best... and to Nicole, praying for your sailor...

Unfortunately...he is extremely homesick :( please Pray for him.. the thought of deployments are really getting to him.. I can't wait for Nov 5 for a whole different reason now... I miss him and I just know he can do this, he just needs prayer... Only a few more weeks...
