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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 21, 2010 at 8:42am: Molly-being the division clown may be a good thing, maybe he makes the other recruits smile. I think you have to be happy to make others happy. I am sure he is doing fine. By the time we get their letters things have often changed for the better.

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2010 at 7:43am: If any of you want to see how the recruits get into a "better place" after a while in boot camp, take a look at the posts on the PIR 11/5 and PIR 10/29 sites. You will see more excitement and encouragement reported by the recruits. They all get there!

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2010 at 7:22am: Sandy, your PIR group has 11 divisions graduating on 12/3. That is considered pretty much an average size group. Not sure how many divisions are formed in a day, but once all divisions for that PIR group are filled, the PIR date is assigned and training starts.

Comment by diannep on October 21, 2010 at 7:18am: Molly: Just remember, he may have been in a "low moment" when he wrote, and much better a little while later. Boot Camp is an emotional up and down...plus he is in the very hard part of this right now. The first half of bc is really tough...in all areas. It gets better as the recruits start feeling that they CAN do something right and they start looking forward to PIR. Try to picture your son when he becomes a sailor...because that will be an awesome moment!

Comment by Molly*corpman* mom on October 21, 2010 at 1:03am: second letter left a not so good feeling in my stomache... i think it will be fine once he get to call...cant wait

Comment by Molly*corpman* mom on October 21, 2010 at 12:28am: got my 2nd letter today , this letter was not as happy as the first one, in one sentence he said it was going fast and doing good and in another sentence wants to come home,,,, i hope this is a normal feeling they get... He told me he got voted Divioson Clown. i don't know if i should ne proud or worried>> Hope everyone gets letters soon....

Comment by cakemom on October 21, 2010 at 12:15am: congrats, what's the news? is everything going ok over there?

Comment by TMH (Ship 9 Div.14) on October 21, 2010 at 12:13am: I got my first real letter from her today! It was so great to see. I miss her so much.

Comment by Sherri_M on October 20, 2010 at 11:15pm: jk0046, my son is in div 10...I received my letter today!!!! maybe you'll have one tomorrow!

Comment by Dorine - Shana's MA Mom on October 20, 2010 at 11:11pm: To Sandy - my daughter arrived at RTC 10/5. No letter yet. And it sounds like there are several divisions that graduate on the same day.
