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 mysteryfan(ship 12 div 102) on January 24, 2011 at 9:20pm: Thanks, diannep! Do you know how they determine which divisions the SRs are assigned to? I've seen that some are spec ops or music related, but wondered if each division has a specialty or certain jobs.

Comment by diannep on January 24, 2011 at 9:15pm: Ladies: This part of bootcamp is what I call the "desperate" stage because they have recently left and the contact is pretty much nothing. It does get better...and soon! Once you get that first real letter, first real phone call...it becomes more bearable...so hang on!

Comment by diannep on January 24, 2011 at 9:13pm: They go by division number for the PIR date. This 3/11 group has:

Div 91 - 102 and 917

If any of the above was the division number on your form letter, you are in the right place here!

Comment by diannep on January 24, 2011 at 9:11pm: mysteryfan: Glad you found this group! Welcome!

Comment by Mollie (Ship 12 DIV 095) on January 24, 2011 at 9:09pm: My son is Ship 12 Div 095. I got a three minute call weekend before last but other than the box and form letter that's it. I'm still rushing to the mailbox every day.

Comment by cody's mom (ship 12 div 091) on January 24, 2011 at 8:48pm: my son is in ship 12 div 091 and i havent heard from him either. it makes me feel better that you havent. hopefully soon!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Redfly on January 24, 2011 at 8:41pm: I would check with Public Affairs about the PIR date. I just received my sons letter on Friday and it had the wrong date. It was a week later.

Comment by Carol(ship12 Div.091) on January 24, 2011 at 8:40pm: Our SR is on ship 12 Div 091 and we have not had any calls since the first one on Jan 6th or any letters so we are hoping it will be soon

Comment by mysteryfan(ship 12 div 102) on January 24, 2011 at 8:35pm: glassdog-my son is also Ship 12 Div 102. When did your son leave for boot camp? Mine just left a week ago so I was expecting his PIR to be 3/18, but just got the letter indicating it would be a week early!
