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 dstmj on October 14, 2010 at 2:56pm: Hi Im new just found out from the requter grad date 12/3. but know nothing else have not got a letter yet. got his box but it just had his close.

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 14, 2010 at 2:14pm: Oh good luck dalton'smom! Hope our tricks work!!! Recruits don't normally have email privilages, but I think they might if they are moved to Ship 5; which is the medical ship and the ship for those waiting to process out.

Comment by dalton'smom(ship009 Div 011) on October 14, 2010 at 2:12pm: Well. i emailed that our insurance would not help since he joined the military. The day he left he was removed. etc. UGH...waiting to hear back. He does have email privilages (sp? can't think!) right now!

Comment by dalton'smom(ship009 Div 011) on October 14, 2010 at 1:40pm: I have done the power of attorney and he brought it with him!

Comment by diannep on October 14, 2010 at 1:34pm: MsMaria: If you got the div number from the recruiter, you may want to doublecheck it. Have you received the form letter yet with the div number on it?

Comment by Dodie on October 14, 2010 at 1:29pm: I just received my son's form letter...WooHoo! He is Ship 02 Div 903. PIR date 12/3/10.

Comment by MsMaria68 on October 14, 2010 at 1:26pm: I wonder if I got the wrong Div # It's 016 or was it temporary or what? I haven't find anybody for the same Div. Im just wondering about it....

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 14, 2010 at 1:25pm: daltons mom, when he calls again tell him to sign a paper giving them permission to talk to you about his medical needs. That will help. Try to convince him to stay and get it done there. It is very hard to get back in and all the paperwork has be done the right way. You can also try talking to his recruiter to see what the paperwork needs to say to make sure he gets back in if he does come home. It is best to stay and get it done, then they know you really want to be there. Good luck, I will keep you and your son in my prayers.

Comment by dalton'smom(ship009 Div 011) on October 14, 2010 at 1:13pm: Good one Sunny's mom!!! I can email! If any of you have great wisdom and want to email to...i can give his addy...lol!!! I am freaking out!!! My whole family is telling me to tell him he will be homeless if he comes home. Of course I can't tell him that! I don't want him ticked and have to stay...know what i mean??? What a day...and to think I woke up so happy! UGH!

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 14, 2010 at 1:10pm: Dalton'smom - if you do get to talk to him again, you could tell him a "little white fib" that he's been taking off of your insurance coverage (and you can't add him back onto the policy) so there's no way to pay for the surgery at home and he has to get it done there. Sneaky, not truthful, but sometimes Moms have to do what Moms have to do if you know what I mean.
