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 Amy**QM MOM** on October 9, 2010 at 10:57pm: Recieved a letter today (Sat)? was uplifting was having a bad day..He says our division 363 is actually starting to pull together today he said I think we all got our heads on straight and realized what we gotta do to get through this as quickly and painlessly as possiable..LOL..He said write everyday it really helps them get through the days....cant wait till 11/5

Comment by Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on October 9, 2010 at 10:31pm: How exciting that the conversation is shifting toward A school now...we seem to be moving forward. Only 26 more days!

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 9, 2010 at 10:18pm: Thanks for the info. Yes, our hotel has wifi and we'll have our laptop. Not sure he'll want his old phone, he may want to get new everything.

Comment by diannep on October 9, 2010 at 10:06pm: Tiffany: There are rules about marrying on PIR weekend. Usually, you are not allowed to. You would have to get prior approval from the "powers that be" there and that is usually only granted if there are unusual circumstances (one couple got permission because she has a severe kidney disease). You CAN get married during A School, but you have to be aware of the marriage license rules of that area...and make sure your new sailor will still be in A School there if there is a waiting period before getting married. As far as living with him after you are married, you would have to look into that because I don't know anything about Navy married housing, etc.

Comment by Tiffany(s11div362PIR11-5) on October 9, 2010 at 10:00pm: does anyone know what would happen if we get married on PIR weekend??

Comment by diannep on October 9, 2010 at 9:54pm: Laura: I would bring them for him to use whlie he is on liberty if he wants to do that. Most enjoy using their phone and laptop, assuming your hotel has WiFi. Unless he doesn't want them? My son was GradNGo to another city and didn't want his....wanted to spend time with us since we just had a few hours. So I mailed his cell later (he did without his laptop until he was stationed).

Comment by Tiffany(s11div362PIR11-5) on October 9, 2010 at 8:03pm: O okay does anyone know if their spouse can still move with him when he is on hold??

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 9, 2010 at 6:33pm: Makes sense about usage, just wondered whether we should bring it. Hopefully, he will let us know what he wants us to bring. No he's not married, he's only 19.

Comment by diannep on October 9, 2010 at 6:24pm: Tiffany, they cannot come home when on hold. If they were going to get "liberty" between bc and A School, they know this before the end of bc. But I don't think that happens often.

Laura, one of my N4M friends said that once they are on GL base (totally off of RTC base), they can have the cells and laptops. But there are strict rules about cell use. They are not to have their phones during indoc or class.
