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 Conster1114 on January 25, 2011 at 1:10pm: Ugh.....no letter yet from my daughter. I was so happy to get the box yesterday, but am really depressed like k-town mom. Even though her recruiter gave me her address, he told me to wait to mail anything until I receive the official "letter." Anyway, hope everyone either gets their box or letter today, or even both. In the letter, does the recruit get to write a personal message?

Comment by RissysMom(Proud Mom of a Sailor) on January 25, 2011 at 12:27pm: Still waiting for something everyone, I have no clue what her ship is or div. I hope something comes today.Maybe I will take a drive to the recruiters, see if they can give me something. I would like to send her letters. Hang in there everyone.

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 10:38am: terrijean: "Push" divisions are ones who complete boot camp in 7 weeks. They do it all, just a bit faster. So looks like your son is in one if he arrived on 1/18.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 25, 2011 at 10:37am: Dawn- you are gonna have to train your man better lol, he needs to take pics of these important events. How else are you supposed to scrapbook this journey? lol

For those of you who like a lot of pics: once your sailor is out of bootcamp give them a couple extra chips for their camera. Have them take pics and then when the card is full they can send it to you and start using the next one. By the time it is full you can have the first one sent back to them. They can also upload the pics to a photo bucket or to a place like CVS online and put them in an album. You can then pick and print the ones you want and pick them up in an hour.

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 10:37am: No, terrijeann....his PIR is 3/11. Those divisions are: 91-102, 917.

Comment by terrijeann ship 12 div 101 on January 25, 2011 at 10:34am: JessiceB-Sailor Mom: my son is Ship 12 Div 101..PIR 3/11/11, but he reported for BC on 1/18/11. Did the RTC made a mistake on his form letter????

Comment by terrijeann ship 12 div 101 on January 25, 2011 at 10:27am: no notes in my son's box but I did find his boarding pass and meal ticket...still trying to figure out the early graduation March 11..I have heard that he could be in a "push" group??? Does anyone know about this??

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 25, 2011 at 9:55am: Good morning mae SR gf my son also left Jan 19th We are starting to get the boxes (havent gotten mine yet -maybe today) and I called his recruiter yesterday and got the div and ship # ship 2 Div 900 so that was exciting From that info I could figure out the almost positive graduation date March 18th We are still waiting for RCT to post the official dates

Welcome to our roller coaster We are becoming a very strong and supportive group and we welcome you and everyone else warmly on this board Hang on tight we are in for one hell of a ride! Go NAVY!

Comment by SeabeeWifeDawn(ship 02 DIV 918) on January 25, 2011 at 9:07am: oregonmom, it was just his clothes, cellphone and my camera (which I'm so happy to have back)!

No notes, no pics on the camera either (boo)

I'm going to call the recruiting office today to get his address!

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2011 at 8:38am: Good morning, everyone. One day closer to PIR! Just keep that in mind! Jessica, Lala, and I have been there, done that, with our sailors....so we know that things will get better for you all soon. Just keep focusing on that SAILOR you will see in just a few weeks!
