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 Megan- [ship 02, division 906] on December 6, 2010 at 12:53pm: sacred's mom- i faxed it over too, emailed it twice to be sure, and sent a hard copy in next day mail today lol, so i hope everything is good.

Comment by Suzanne on December 6, 2010 at 12:43pm: It took about one week before I received confirmation that the iternerary was received. Hopefully, with this being the last week, they will send out confirmations sooner.

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on December 6, 2010 at 12:34pm: proudmom.....at this time the passes are NOT available to print. They set them 11 days before. So I will think for next week.

Comment by Kim of Virginia on December 6, 2010 at 12:07pm: Please note: Parking passes will not become available for download until 11 days prior to the scheduled date. I just took this from their page.

Comment by Kim of Virginia on December 6, 2010 at 12:02pm: Megan, my pleasure, I emailed my son's itinerary Friday afternoon and still have not received acknowledgment of receipt. My husband faxed it this morning at 7am EST.

Comment by Kim of Virginia on December 6, 2010 at 11:52am: Terry, It is my understanding that if the recruit made their own arrangements, nothing needs to be faxed. I could be wrong, but if the recruit made the arrangements, we (the family) would not be privy to the itinerary, thus nothing is needed. My son wanted me to make his flight arrangements and his wife neglected to inform me. Had it not been for Navy For Moms, my son would not have the opportunity to come home, because I would not have known that families could make the arrangements. If in doubt, you can always call your Recruit's recruiter for general information. My son's Recruiter is awesome and stays in touch with me on a 2 week basis to make certain that I am receiving letters.

Comment by Kim of Virginia on December 6, 2010 at 11:43am: proudmom, I don't believe they sent our class the link yet. When our passes are ready on line, they will upload a link that says "get your gate pass". then you click on the link and can print it. I just checked and they have not updated for the class of Dec. 17 yet. No worries

Comment by proudmom ship03 div028 on December 6, 2010 at 11:10am: I am getting worried. Neither one of my computer will not open the website for the gate passes.

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on December 6, 2010 at 11:09am: I would like to know the same as Terry. My husband purchased his flight tickets home the other day. Not sure if I needed to send a copy of the itinerary, but did so just in case.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 6, 2010 at 9:40am: Good Morning, I hope you all are having a great day. I won't be on here much today. Busy making ribbons for your PIR group and getting them in the mail. With the extra holiday mailing I want to make sure you get them time. So please if you have not ordered or if you have ordered and have not sent your payment please contact me. You PIR is getting very close. And I know that makes you do the HaPpY Dance :-) I will check in throughout the day for messages and orders.
