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 diannep on February 5, 2011 at 10:09am: LovinMa: On the division tshirts, the tab at the top says "Travel Discounts, Recruit Grad". Click and then scroll down to "mail order form." Click on that and the form and all info comes up. I was able to fax my form in when I ordered.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 5, 2011 at 10:02am: Good Morning everyone, it is good to see you are starting to get letters and even a few phone calls. Hang in there it does get better and most will have much better communication by the halfway point.

LN- I resent the PIR support ribbon info to you and yes you can still order. I still can't figure out what is happening to some of the emails I receive and send. They just seem to get lost in cyber space somewhere. Has anyone else had this problem?

Comment by Craig on February 5, 2011 at 12:51am: For those that wonder what the floor plan looks like for the barracks and galley at Great Lakes, here's the link.

For fun and to give you something to write about, you might want to send this picture to your recruit, and ask them where they sleep (use the support columns for reference). btw: They are consider a non-surge division, so they use the floor plan on the top (1,2,1), and not the surge division (3,3,3)

Comment by cyndaroo7 on February 5, 2011 at 12:15am: Hi, We haven't received a letter yet either (beyond the grad date). Congrat's RissysMom you got yours! I know our's is just around the corner... maybe tomorrow! Remember no news is good news. My SR hurt her ankle earlier, and I hope it doesn't bother her too much. Good luck all! Cyndi

Comment by RissysMom(Proud Mom of a Sailor) on February 5, 2011 at 12:01am: Hello, Yes I received a letter yesterday from my Daughter. She sounded good...I hope you receive yours soon, very soon. Hang in there everyone, that's all we can do and just hope and pray that they start flowing on a regular basis...:-)

Comment by Rosalinda(MAA MAMA) on February 4, 2011 at 11:39pm: Hang in there KatrinaF that's all we can do i still haven't received my first letter either my son is on Ship 07 Div 108. Any more out there in Ship 07 Div 108

Comment by KatrinaF(Ship 07 Div 106) on February 4, 2011 at 11:09pm: Glad to hear many of you have received letters and have been able to see the precious handwriting of your SR and know how they are doing. Seems to be so many different feelings coming from many of them. My daughter is Ship 07 Div 106 and I am still waiting for that first letter.
