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 momof4(Ship12Div97) on March 3, 2011 at 11:06am: I haven't gotten one in three weeks. Hear he writes his fiance often and he is writing his brothers. Everyday I'm hopeful there will be a letter.

Loretta- I know just how you feel.

Comment by diannep on March 3, 2011 at 9:31am: ...meant "in transit today for their PIR tomorrow!"

Comment by diannep on March 3, 2011 at 9:30am: 3/4 group will be in transit to GL for PIR today. But I'm asking that someone from 916 please post if they can if they find that their division went last night. Who knows? Maybe calls from 91-92, etc will come in before that? Hate to leave you guys in the dark...but just don't know what else to tell you!

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on March 3, 2011 at 9:13am: Good morning! We should know by this afternoon whether or not the 3/4 group went this afternoon or us by the phone calls. You think you are excited Debbie. I have a whole range of emotions. I haven't talked to my son since the day he left. I am so anxious to hear his voice. I don't know how I am going to react. I am charging my cell phone right now and trying to get everything down that I need to do first thing this morning. I figured I am safe till lunch time at least.

Comment by diannep on March 3, 2011 at 9:13am: Ladies, remember too that they can change BattleStations dates. Some may not quite be through with training causing a delay, and in one case, they were delayed due to weather and base closing back in Feb. So....just be patient...candles lit, prayers being said, and phones close by!

Comment by diannep on March 3, 2011 at 9:11am: Link for division tshirts is down. These are the tshirts with the logo designed by your SRs. For those wishing to order now, here is the phone number:

Poseiden Sportswear

972-347-6655

You can also order at the NEX after PIR, or your sailor may have ordered already.

Comment by DebbieD-Sailor Mom on March 3, 2011 at 9:08am: My son is in Div 102 have know idea when he goes through battlestations. Can't sleep either. Upbeat and excited! Wishing the best for all divisions. Have a great day!

Comment by diannep on March 3, 2011 at 9:05am: YMM: We are very mixed up on BattleStations because of the 3/4 group. They are claiming that one of their divisions was going last night....that would mean, none from 3/11 could go with them (only individuals who have failed or were delayed in going through BattleStations can go with a different PIR group). We can only get our info from the SRs and as you are seeing, sometimes their info is conflicting. I am advising all in 91-94 (the maximum divisions to have gone at one time) to be ready today for phone calls just in case. We will know by late this morning or early afternoon if 916 from 3/4 went last night instead of your group.

Comment by YMM (Ship 12 Div 98) on March 3, 2011 at 8:40am: Good morning, The dates that are being posted for Battlestations are not consistent. Maybe our SR's were told different information. My SR wrote the Div 98 goes on Sunday, March 6th, but if 091, 092, 093, & 094 went last night. does that mean that 95, 96, 97, & 98 go tonight (Thursday)? Maybe they are doing some repeat Battlestations between these two sets. Anyone have any idea what's happening?

Comment by HapsMom on March 3, 2011 at 8:11am: I'm not sleeping either...after Haps call last night I was wide awake for hours :) That's ok it is just days till we got to hug our SAILORS!
