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 diannep on November 5, 2010 at 7:53am: Yes, Hlovebug. Welcome! You are in the right place! Your son is in the first division of this PIR group. Please ask questions...we are all here to help!

Comment by diannep on November 5, 2010 at 7:50am: You all may want to follow the discussion group on the 12/17 site about the Christmas holiday leave (this will be in the discussion portion at the top of their page...not on the regular posts). Betsy and KLM on there are doing alot of research into that leave and how to make it happen. Although their new sailors will obviously come home before yours, I believe they all have to be back at the same time. So be sure to check that out.

And, Mary, you may want to start a similar discussion at the top of your page here so all to read through. I'm so glad that both of these groups will be able to have their sailors home for Christmas!

By the way, my son became sailor a week after Jessica's did...so I am on here as she is as a veteran mom to help in any way I can. Hi, everyone!

Comment by Donna_ship12_div029 on November 5, 2010 at 6:52am: I did not realize how difficult it was going to be juggling time off and when to fly was going to be for a middle of the week graduation. We had used all our vacation (3 weeks) for weddings and funerals, Jen originally was not suppose to go to basic until Mar :( . But Alas I have faith that it will all work out :)

Comment by HlovebugShip#10Div263 on November 5, 2010 at 12:53am: well not sure if I am in the right place..my son is ship03 div25?

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 4, 2010 at 11:57pm: OK I just spent 2 hours wiping my computer.. that was not fun! I do think I had something wrong with it.. it's running so much smoother now! Ladies it's an hour til midnight.. we made it through another day! Stay strong and sleep well! You all are in my thoughts and I hope those who have not gotten their form letters or boxes.. get those. Good night ladies!

Comment by diannep on November 4, 2010 at 11:08pm: Eliizabeth: Public Affiars Office 847-688-2405 to ask about travel arrangements for the new sailors after 12/22

Comment by Nancy on November 4, 2010 at 10:12pm: @Sara, I don't know, my husband is a worrier (He's the same one who freaked about a virus on Jessica's forms)...but before I spend money I want to know. The posting is about going from one POST to another, not traveling home. I think with military ID they are FINE to travel.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 4, 2010 at 10:08pm: Im not having luck with the spreed sheet so I made a discussion called INTRODUCE YOURSELF.. We will do the info there so check it out and comment your info if I dont have it yet please if you wish to be on it.

Comment by Kimber Ship 12 DIV 035 on November 4, 2010 at 9:21pm: not sure about his ship and division yet, from what i understand, this could be wrong but if so......hi everyone!!!
