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 Lynne on October 8, 2010 at 8:36am: My understanding is not packages, I think they provide the paper to write letters on...I sent my son some self-addressed envelopes and he has used these, the questiontionaires show up as read only...you have to copy and paste into your own word processing program and then they work no problem Hope that helps!!

Comment by Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on October 8, 2010 at 8:05am: 2nd mom: my son asked for newspaper and asked I put in an envelope and not a box. I think he'll have to open in front of an RDC but I guess they're allowed.

Comment by navymom x 2 on October 8, 2010 at 12:24am: I sent my son 1 questionnaire in the beginning..something I made up..and no I have not gotten it back and I forgot to ask him about it? my son has been writing me on Navy stationary ..he told be he didn't need envelopes that he bought some. The only problem is they are the small ones and sometimes it is very full..

Comment by Tiffany(s11div362PIR11-5) on October 8, 2010 at 12:17am: i cant open the questionaries

Comment by G Man Div 951 Ship 2 PIR 11/5 on October 7, 2010 at 11:38pm: I would send what he asks for as he knows what he can get and use. If he gets in trouble its on him and at most the RDC will make him pull out some pages and can the rest. Just the notebook whith nothing in it or written in it. Just his name.
Things get less strict as they do better and later in training.

Comment by Lynne on October 7, 2010 at 9:33pm: Yep he needs a picture ID

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on October 7, 2010 at 9:26pm: Lynn--you said 12 and under bring birth cert. my son is 13 do I need to go get him a state ID at the BMV?...Also the chat thing would be AWSOME to get first hand info...

Comment by diannep on October 7, 2010 at 9:01pm: Alicia: The good part of the uniform cost is that they start getting a uniform allowance (yearly, I believe) so they can replace worn uniforms.

Robin: Hell Week is when they get up very early because it is such a busy week with all they have to do. I believe it is week 4 once they start their actual training (not including processing days).

Comment by Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on October 7, 2010 at 8:53pm: My son asked for ear plugs. Are your sons snoring?

Chat box would be great fun!
