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."

My future sailor left February 16th for bc. I just got his form letter today saying he's in ship 09 division 135. PIR 4/15/2011. I'm so excited and proud of him! The anxious girlfriend that I am, i'm already counting down the days (: Anybody else with loved ones in this division?

Comment by Mamamary805 (Joe's mom) on February 22, 2011 at 10:04pm: My son left for bc on the 17th of February & I am guesstamating that his PIR will be on April 15th or April 21. For those of you who know for shoe your child's PIR is April 15, when your child go in?

Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on February 22, 2011 at 8:35pm: Hey everone! I'm aaronsgirl (Emily). I'm friends with Nukegirl2010 who's boyfriend will be graduating on this date. My boyfriend, Aaron, is a Nuke. He graduated Boot camp last March, A school last September, and will graduate Power School this coming April. I'm here to answer any questions anyone has about the PIR experience and/or questions about the Nuke pipeline. :)

I've been through the boot camp experience twice- once with Aaron, once with my brother- so I know the ins and outs pretty well. :)

Comment by beverlymcn (Ship 09 Div 129) on February 22, 2011 at 8:25pm: Woohoooooooo!!! Got the letter today. His recruiter sent me his address this afternoon and I immediately sent out the 5 page (3 front/back) running blog, a phone card, and stamps. The recruiter's address was a little different from the one Daniel sent, so I hope there aren't any problems with receiving it. He is in DIV 129 and PIR is set at 15 APRIL 11. Making reservations tonight! He sounded positive and said they were moving into their barracks the following day, which for him was 18FEB11. I had to laugh when he said he had never heard so much cussing .... that's a lot coming from him! I'm ecstatic!!! Never knew that just a few words could be so great!

Comment by gaylemm on February 22, 2011 at 7:43pm: I received my letter today with my Sons box! The note on the bottom of the form letter made feel a little relieved.He said he would be writing soon. It was so good just to see his handwriting : ) Any other parents from Ship 09 Div 136.

Comment by nycnative12/ProudparentHMSR on February 22, 2011 at 7:28pm: Got the formal letter today. Yea!!! My daughter's PIR date is 15 April 2011. I got a little note at the bottom of the formal letter stating she is okay. That made me feel so good.

Comment by diannep on February 21, 2011 at 9:06pm: I agree totally with Lala! I have seen too many on here who think their sailor is GradNGo and so fly back on Sat...only to find out that they could have had more time with their sailor. There is lots of sightseeing in that area should your sailor fly out early on Sat and you have some time to fill. If your sailor has the whole weekend, you can sightsee together!
