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."

Yes, I am.  Thank you for starting this group!!  WooHoo!!

 

Awesome !!!! Now we can keep in touch and compare notes :) Looking forward to talking to you :)

Hi, my son is on ship 9 Div 130...I wonder how that works. Maybe they know each other. My son's name is Dean and he is 18, my first child leaving the house. I'm an older mom...but I still have a 16 year old at home. Are you planning on going to the PIR? We are making reservations and stuff tonight.No one has responded to my post about Div 130.

 

Candy

Hi Candy, I was wondering the same thing since they are in the same ship :) My son is 20 and I have onother son that is 16. Yes we are plannig on going to PIR !!!! I would not miss it for the world. Where are you staying? When are you going? I look forward to talking and meeting you at PIR :)

 

Take Care

Kathy

Hi, Kathy, I'm not sure where we are staying yet; my mother-in-law asked to go but my son has my dad, my husband, my daughter and me on the list and my husband and I are trying to figure out what to do. I guess we need to figure it out pretty quickly, huh? Whoever ends up going, we will fly up on Thursday and probably fly back out on Sunday. We live in VA. I would prefer to drive but I just don't want to spend that much time in the car. It's actually cheaper for all of us to fly than to drive with the hotels and all. Everyone seems to know so much more than I do!! I've already taken leave from work!!

Candy still no letter or box but got the info from the Recruiter

Maybe the same goes for div 130 no letter out yet

Hey!!  You live in Stafford? We have friends there...Mike and Bonnie Nichols. It would be wild if you knew them, wouldn't it? They came down for my son's farewell party. Small world.
