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 chandlersmom on November 6, 2010 at 2:11pm: what is the process to tell them who is coming to the graduation? Do we just write a letter now and do we have include social security numbers or anything like that?

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on November 6, 2010 at 7:38am: Lynne, thanks for sharing. I can't wait for that day to come...it just won't come soon enough, but your vision helps us to know what we have to look forward to.

Let's all pray for letters today! and that Hell Week went as smoothly as possible for our boys and girls, or should I say men and women. I still like to think of mine as my little boy.

Comment by Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on November 5, 2010 at 10:14pm: I hope those of you that haven't gotten letters yet do tomorrow! I know how we all look forward to getting those! It sounds like all the recruits are hanging in there! Now its our turn!

Lynn thank you so much for the positive update! It does help to know that there is n end in sight! Enjoy your weekend girl!

Comment by TammyCorpmanmom on November 5, 2010 at 9:53pm: What a bad day! No letter form a our son this week,he did write his girlfriend though so I know he doing ok.

Comment by Lynne on November 5, 2010 at 8:47pm: Gosh I think I am in the right group...if not I am sorry...I am at PIR and I had the opportunity to watch the great division of 004 marching past the NEX today and they looked awesome. They were carrying their flag which looked great, be sure to check into ordering your custom T-shirts and they seemed very proud. They were marching instep and would have made you proud. Four weeks to go and you will stand as I did. My son just left to muster in for the night and I have to say this is the best day fo my life in a long time. You will be so proud. We had 167 at our Meet and Greet. Don't miss yours!!

Michael said they weren't too nervous going into hell week...that they had all become pretty close and worked together well...he loves his div!!!!!

Comment by diannep on November 5, 2010 at 5:40pm: Are you all talking about the ribbons that are made to wear for PIR? If so, please find "Lala Ribbon Queen" by clicking the MEMBERS tab above and putting in her name. She is the one who makes them and mails them to you. She does a great job! She also will be dropping onto these PIR boards too.
