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 Craig on March 31, 2011 at 2:26am: For those that are married to a sailor in boot camp -

I just received a copy of a letter that was written by a married wife from another PIR group...She wrote this during the PIR weekend. I am going to post it here just because you ladies might have to write the same letter after PIR. I just want to save you some time...~ha...

Comment by Marianne(Ship04/Div807) on March 30, 2011 at 8:02pm: Gina-Got a call from my son as well. He sounded great. He sounds very proud of his division. So good to hear from him. Just a little more than a week now. We are almost there.

Comment by patteye1069 on March 30, 2011 at 6:32pm: I got a letter today from my recruit! (Ship 11 Div121) He said they will have a lot of flags and pendants when they come through those doors for PIR!! Flagged their last drill inspection and earned independent steaming- gives them the rights to march without a RDC present! and for him to get creative with cadences.. which already almost got them in trouble! he's always pushing the limits!

Comment by ntz4laa (HM Mom) on March 30, 2011 at 4:35pm: I received a letter today that confirmed that 125 is running BS Sunday night. Also, 125 did the gas chamber on 3/28. Today is their final PFA, tomorrow is their 3rd test, and Friday is drill inspection.

Comment by Gina07 on March 30, 2011 at 1:53pm: My son just called and asked for my husband to bring his clothes and his cell phone with him to graduation, so I guess they can have them in pre BUD/S. He also confirmed Battlestations is Sunday night from 9pm to 7am. He said the division is doing really well. They are all working together and getting good scores on inspections. It was nice to hear him sound so good!

Comment by janlee on March 30, 2011 at 1:40pm: Hi lasies my name is Jan...im on other PIR groups passing on info, and i saw you are getting close to making the trip up to PIR (congratulations) and wanted to pass this small tidbit of info on to you all....in case anyone is in need of it.
There is a taxi driver that caters to Navy families. I hear he is wonderful (but in high demand). I recommended him to a mom in my PIR group and she called him right away. He arranged to pick her up at the airport and drive her to her hotel. She was traveling alone and was so grateful, she ended up using him the whole weekend. Also,,as it got closer to PIR she posted on the board here asking if there was anyone else arriving at the airport the same time as her and if so, if they wanted to share the taxi ride and split the cost...and there was!, it worked out for her like that the whole visit. here is his info...he is VERY reasonable and helpful.
