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 8:31pm: Jessica B-I'm glad for my son that he will be out of boot camp sooner, but it feels a bit strange to be in the other group, where everyone has been in boot camp a week longer. And I'm a little concerned about how it's possible for him to get a "shortened" training period, especially since his job is pretty risky and I wouldn't want him to miss any vital training. Guess I just have to have faith that the Navy wouldn't want an under-trained recruit heading out for duty any more than I do.

Comment by Junebug (Ship 2 Div 918) on January 24, 2011 at 8:23pm: It is pretty exciting. Makes it more real. :)

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 24, 2011 at 8:18pm: its pretty exciting when you can add your ship and div number behind your name :)

Comment by mysteryfan(ship 12 div 102) on January 24, 2011 at 7:29pm: It's Ship 12 Division 102

Comment by mysteryfan(ship 12 div 102) on January 24, 2011 at 7:20pm: Thanks, Lala!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 24, 2011 at 7:17pm: mysteryfan- if your form letter says PIR is 3-11 then you will want to join that group and get to know the members in it who have SR's in your div and with the same PIR date. Feel free to stay in this group as well if you like. Here is the link to that group, I hope it works :) http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir31111

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 24, 2011 at 7:14pm: If you have received the form letter it will have the graduation date on it as well as the division your recruit is in. These are the divisions for 3-11, there will be 13 Divisions (091–102 & 917) Graduate Friday, March 11, 2011. The divisions for 3-18 have not been posted yet. But should be this week. Maybe even by tomorrow.

Comment by mysteryfan(ship 12 div 102) on January 24, 2011 at 7:02pm: Thanks, diannep for the info on GradNGo! I also got my letter today, showing 03/11/11 as the PIR date. Does this mean we need to change to a different group? I hope not-unless we all move together.

When do we get a firm date for the PIR? I know it can be different for individuals if they still have tests to pass, but is there a deadline for announcing the final date for the group as a whole?

Comment by Junebug (Ship 2 Div 918) on January 24, 2011 at 6:45pm: My son plays guitar--has since 3rd grade. Though I doubt that's what he will be doing while marching. I'm so EXCITED to see a box and have his address. :)

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 24, 2011 at 6:24pm: Junebug is your son a musician? My son played the double bass throughout school but after he graduated from highschool two years ago didnt play I wonder what he'll do there plus you really can't march with a double bass :)
