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 theonlysouthgirl on January 19, 2011 at 4:33pm: This website has been so helpful as we have navigated the process of our son enlisting in the Navy. We just received our son's PIR letter yesterday, and he chose to invite 4 friends instead of his family. We are absolutely heartbroken that after 18 years of investing in our son, supporting his decision to go NAVY, and walking thru 11 months of DEP with him, he would make such a hurtful choice. My heart will be with you all on 3/11/11, even though I won't personally be there. Ship 12 Div 097

Comment by Scott's mom (Ship 12 / Div 091) on January 19, 2011 at 4:27pm: to: Cody's mom - our son is in the same group - we had a phone call this morning and PIR date is 03-11-2010

Comment by Scott's mom (Ship 12 / Div 091) on January 19, 2011 at 4:24pm: Are there any others that have Sailors on Ship 12 Div 091?

Comment by Scott's mom (Ship 12 / Div 091) on January 19, 2011 at 4:09pm: We got a call from our son this morning - needed full address and said their PIR date had been changed. Sounds fine and hates the eggs!

Comment by Scott's mom (Ship 12 / Div 091) on January 19, 2011 at 4:07pm: I found our son in the garage one night under our jet skis ...with a flash light and blanket reading. He was in elementary school at the time. Scared the crap out of me when I couldn't find him. That wasn't the last time or the only place I found him reading when he was to be sleeping.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 19, 2011 at 3:35pm: Momof4, we all have those nights when we can't sleep. Maybe he was just missing your recruit too. lol. He is definitely a persistent little thing isn't he. My son, who is now 28 used to do that too. He was about 18 months old and still sleeping in a crib. He figured out how to reach through the bars to his dresser. He would grad the knob on the drawer and pull his crib (on wheels) over to the dresser. Then he would stick his feet through the bars and climb out of the crib. The next morning we would find him with his little blanket sleeping in the floor of the closet lol. After about a week of this we took the crib out and put in the big boy bed lol.

Comment by Jake'sFiance (Ship12 Div 091) on January 19, 2011 at 3:23pm: nikosmom: It's not my son. It's my fiance. He called me 3 times. Pretty much for some information, but we talked a bit the second time he called :) I'm so happy!!

Comment by nikosmom ( CVN 70, Seaman ) on January 19, 2011 at 3:15pm: I have called the public affairs office and they say they can NOT give out any information due to confidentiality, I don't understand how other Mom's are getting info. from there? still no letter, I can't stand this!!!!!!!!!!!!!
