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 Arwen on January 13, 2011 at 11:13pm: Jenny and MountainMama - recruits leave in order of division. When they prepare orders and plane tickets, they do it by division. Usually the first few divisions' orders are ready before PIR, so they leave first. Also, some divisions aren't even done with training by PIR, they have to return to training for a few days after PIR weekend before leaving for boot camp. The Navy doesn't want to have the first sailors waiting around boot camp for those who aren't done yet.

One other reason: it takes time and manpower to sort recruits by A-schools. They are already sorted by division, so it is the fastest and easiest method to do the job.

Comment by jennnyj on January 13, 2011 at 10:58pm: thanks everyone.. my fingers are crossed :)

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on January 13, 2011 at 10:46pm: I really do hope you get to spend the entire week-end with your man. It really would be great if they could fly out together!

Comment by jennnyj on January 13, 2011 at 10:43pm: i wish they would just send them out all together!! like everyone in his division is going somewhere different.. so it just makes no sense at all to me!

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on January 13, 2011 at 10:40pm: Yeah Jenny, I don't really understand that either. Nathaniel told me that he thought he was flying out on Wednesday to San Antonio. Maybe the lower number divisions leave first, but I wouldn't know why.

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on January 13, 2011 at 10:36pm: Thanks DebBee! I was hoping that a month into it, he would be a little less homesick. I think the reality is sinking in that boot camp is just the beginning of being away from home. Four years seems like forever to him right now, but I have to believe he will get used to it. I think he will love A school and getting to do the things he's always wanted to.

Comment by jennnyj on January 13, 2011 at 10:29pm: he is homesick! he is ready for graduation to be with me and his family again! hm im so confused on why my boyfriend would be leaving on saturday when your boys arent and there going to the same place... i really hope they change this and let him stay all weekend, especially since they have liberty on monday now!

Comment by jennnyj on January 13, 2011 at 10:20pm: is anyone else have someone going to san antonio, texas after boot camp?

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 13, 2011 at 10:14pm: I just got a friend request from someone in this group wanting info on how to order PIR ribbons but when I clicked accept it disappeared so if you sent a friend request to me about ribbons please send it again. So sorry I was on my cell and not my laptop. Thanks, so happy to see some are getting phone calls. :-)
