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 Kat (MM Nuke) on September 27, 2010 at 6:48pm: Jsmom228 - I made reservations at the Comfort Inn last night. They do have a shuttle. Said it takes 7 minutes to get to base. The rate was $75 per night for 2 queen beds, non smoking. They said they still have space available.

Comment by Karen3269(Ship4 Div824 PIR11/5) on September 27, 2010 at 6:18pm: Thanks Jess and Kat for clearing that up! And glad that my son is one of many feeling the same way the first couple weeks.... hope and pray this past week has gotten better for him!!! (:

Comment by Jsmom228(S07/DIV360/PIR11/5) on September 27, 2010 at 6:15pm: I am thinking of making reservations at La Quinta but it doesn't look like they have a shuttle to PIR. We may have 7 adults going and although we only get the 4 tickets I was hoping that all of us could go and hope that some may be able to get in if there is extra room. Will we only get one parking pass? Would there be any way for everyone to go if we need to take 2 cars? Anyone have information on the Comfort Inn since it looks like they have shuttle?

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on September 27, 2010 at 6:07pm: Looks like DOR means Drop On Request. I believe that is when they request to quit.

Comment by Karen3269(Ship4 Div824 PIR11/5) on September 27, 2010 at 6:04pm: Thanks eayle for sharing!! My son also wondered what he got himself into in the first letter I got last Tuesday. Was this a letter that was sent LAST Sunday?? Look forward to hearing more when you get home. Also, what's a DOR?? I think I need to take a class for the Navy "lingo". Also, did he say when he was calling home?
Inquiring minds...... (:

Comment by jb_navymom MMNuke Class 1107B on September 27, 2010 at 5:13pm: Thanks af2nvy - I guess even if we take extra people and they can't get in, they will still be able to hang out after the ceremony.

Comment by Oldest of 4 on September 27, 2010 at 5:03pm: I opened my mail box real slow today! Yea.... To find nothing.

Comment by inlay on September 27, 2010 at 4:32pm: I got a letter!!!! I am at work so I had my daughter read it to me over the phone so I can't quite remember all the details. When I get home and re-read it, I will share more. He did confirm that they can only write on Sundays, but he did not say how many letters. The teamwork exercises must be taking hold because he said his rack mate is helping him with his folding. Because his rack mate is asian, he has nicknamed him his "origami wizard." (They seem to be friends so please, no one take offense.) The food is good and they get a lot of it. His division has already had some DOR's and several who go to medical each day. He has already learned the chain or command for the Navy, the Marines, and the Army as well as all the names of the Navy's ships. The first week he wondered what the "f" he had gotten himself into, but now everything is good. Maybe that is why they are not allowed to write for 3 weeks. I will add more when I can read the letter again.

Comment by jb_navymom MMNuke Class 1107B on September 27, 2010 at 2:31pm: Hi all - I see our divisions listed on the "Upcoming Graduations" page of the Navy's official site - there will be 13 divisions graduating that day! I wonder what the chances are of getting additional family members into the ceremony (aside from the 4 with official invites). Anybody know the protocol on that?

Comment by Lynne on September 27, 2010 at 2:04pm: Wow you all are awesome! It takes my breath away to read the emails I get from you! Many begin with "Guess what" followed by what you have done to help your recruit...the love and compassion you are showing your recruits is really shining through. Today a mom wrote and said that a group of friends get together every Sunday to watch football and now that group of friends passes around a card and writes words of encouragement to her son. That simple gesture will mean so much. Bravo Zulu mom Bravo Zulu!! Keep up the good work. I think we've made it through the hard times and better times are ahead the days will pass faster now. Share what you are doing to lift up your recruits. Everybody needs a new idea now and then!!
