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 queen of disrepair on September 16, 2010 at 7:49pm: Hi TKarp - he had jrrtotc for four years in high school and had also been in band. That must be why he got the placement he did. I'm going to look at the info Jessica sent about the 900 division. If he gets to do drill or honor guard, he'll be thrilled - he loved it in school.

Comment by navyarmymom on September 16, 2010 at 7:29pm: Hello all. I think this is where I'm supposed to be. I didn't get a letter yet, but I got my son's address from the recruiter and it was Div 824, Ship 4.

Comment by Brooklyn on September 16, 2010 at 5:03pm: Yeah have to start making travel arrangements...I'll have to fly, I live in San Antonio...it would be loooooong drive :)

Oh I miss him so much but am so excited!

Comment by jerrikas_mom(Ship07Div355) on September 16, 2010 at 4:50pm: I received my FORM letter today. Jerrika is doing good, she said having fun(she is out there sometimes who would think boot camp is fun) Processing was boring. The were not letting them fall asleep during processing, but she was great. PIR is definitely on 11-05-2010. So it looks like I will start making travel arrangements. We have not decided if we will fly or drive, several friends want to go so we may be driving.

Comment by Brooklyn on September 16, 2010 at 4:49pm: Not too much, just what has been posted on this website...

There's a group called Grad-n-Go that should have more info

Comment by TCarp0328 on September 16, 2010 at 4:27pm: Thanks Blyn. Do you know anything about the grad-n-go info?

Comment by Brooklyn on September 16, 2010 at 3:58pm: I got my hubby's info today!!! So excited...finally get to send all the letters and photos. Closer and closer to Nov 5th!!

TCarp-- I believe we'll receive a packet in a few more days with our insurance info and then we take it to the closest base to get our IDs and insurance set up

Comment by TCarp0328 on September 16, 2010 at 2:16pm: Hey Ladies, I got my husbands letter in today with his graduation information. Now I have a question how do you find out if he is a grad-n-go? Also is there any wives in here? I didn't get nothing in about my ID or insurance. Any help with this would be appreciated. Oh he is the MA for Ship 7- DIV 355. He said he was eating 3 meals a day and is happy.

Comment by boysmom on September 16, 2010 at 1:52pm: Got my form letter today! So excited to know the PIR date and begin looking forward! Said he was doing good! Tears of joy and relief this time! Ship 04 Div 824.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 16, 2010 at 12:48pm: My son is in div 355, ship 7. Has anyone made their reservations yet? Trying to figure out where might be best. Saw on another site that the springhill suites in waykegan were a good option.
