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 Kym Ship 11 Div 118 on February 13, 2011 at 10:49pm: Very thankful for this website. My kids think I am addicted to it. Just want to make sure I don't make any major mess ups as time goes on. Looking for ways to learn the lingo for Navy. There is alot. Our SR has 3 younger brothers at home that want to impress him with their knowledge:)

Comment by quiltblue on February 13, 2011 at 10:42pm: texasmom... once you get the form letter, it will give you the PIR date too. Not all parents get on computers, not all recruiting offices tell parents about Navy for Moms. I am asking my son to spread the word about our group(s). It will make for a better experience for them and us if we have a larger group.

Comment by Conster1114 on February 13, 2011 at 10:04pm: Ooops....sorry about that. My MS is acting up. My daughter is in 11/116. Sorry for the wrong info. I am very excited to be a part of this group. My daughter arrived in GL on 3/19. TY quiltblue & soccermom.....,nice to meet you. How do I friend you???

Comment by soccer mom on February 13, 2011 at 10:02pm: Texasmom....I know JessicaB has been working on confirming PIR dates for the SR's that started BC last week. So far she has confirmed 115, 116 & 117 will graduate on 4/01/11. You and the other moms that aren't sure can hang out here until the date is confirmed:))) I know it's hard to wait .... but you will probably know sometime this week:)))))

Comment by quiltblue on February 13, 2011 at 9:50pm: Hello Conster1114! Sorry for your daughter's delay to PIR, but better late than never. I would love to have you friend me! My son is in 11/116.

Comment by texasmom Ship 11 Div 179 on February 13, 2011 at 9:50pm: Ok so I have been out of the loop for 24 hrs, How do you know if your son is going to be in the 4/1/11 PIR? My son, if he is in 4/1/11 is Ship 11/Div 124 which I have not seen anyone else in that div.

Comment by soccer mom on February 13, 2011 at 9:49pm: Hello Conster......Great to have your here.:)) Thanks for the info on the mail....My son's in Ship 11 Div 116..........He has been at bc for 10 days.......We have received the box minus the kid & our form letter a couple of days ago..........Now we'll "Hurry up & wait" together..........How long has your daughter been at bc?

Comment by Conster1114 on February 13, 2011 at 9:41pm: Hello everyone....I have a daughter that was suppose to graduate on 3/18, but got reassigned to 4/1. I am very excited about all these men and women, who are training to be a Sailor. She is in Ship 16, Div 116. I have already gotten the kd in the box, as well as the form letter. We actually got to talk to her last Wednesday, when she told us about the change in ship and division. She told us how extremely old it is up there and that she has received our letters. It takes aproximately 5 days to get and reeive mail. I wouldlike tosay hello to each and everyone that is in this PIR 4/1/11. :)

Comment by ntz4laa (HM Mom) on February 13, 2011 at 9:05pm: Our recruiter told us (with the exception of the 800 & 900 divisions) that it is merely the order that they arrive. He said that the recruits my daughter arrived with will more than likely be in her division. Because of this, many recruits in a division are from the same geographical area.

Comment by janlee on February 13, 2011 at 8:57pm: leeann-the 900 divisions are the musical divisions (drill team, flags, instruments, etc..) The 800 divisions are the specials opps (SEALS, divers, etc..) the 100 divisions are other rates such as submariners, master at arms , nukes, etc...
