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 DCM_Mom(Ship12Div179) on April 2, 2010 at 1:55pm: Hi NavyGirlfriend... I too am looking for letters from my son. Are you a member of the Ship 12 Div 179 group here? One of the mom's got four letters in the mail yesterday. I'm so anxious to get home and check my mailbox, but at the same time, I don't want to get my hopes up only to open up an empty mailbox!! Here's hoping we both have mail!! :*)

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 2, 2010 at 1:51pm: No letters:( He called sunday and we talked awhile he said he mailed like 10 letters. Anyone in ship 12 Div 179 get any letters? I think they may not be mailing their mail. I wish may was already here!

Comment by Teacher Mom_Ship12Sailor on April 2, 2010 at 12:07am: DIV 183- Got first letter today. Short but sweet..stated only had 10 minutes to write. I must say a very proud and emotional experience.

Comment by old mom on April 1, 2010 at 11:54pm: Looking for someone with recruit in 184 ship 12 drop me a line if we share the same place. I haven't heard a peep from him.

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on April 1, 2010 at 9:12pm: Hello everyone, I am hoping you can help out a friend of mine who has a boyfriend in Ship 12 Div. 177. Did anyone receive a call this week from their loved one in this division? She is worried that Div 177 was able to make a phone call and she missed it. Thanks!

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on April 1, 2010 at 9:12pm: CeeCee, I have been told that only the recruits know their schedule. So only your son would be able to tell you if he is grad and go or not. Be sure to get this information from him so you can plan your flight and hotel reservations =)

Comment by CeeCee on April 1, 2010 at 9:08pm: My son is ship 6 div 925, his PIR date is 5/7/10 and his A school is Pensacola. Anyone know if this will be a Grad and Go? Will only he know this information? I truly hope not so we can spend time with him.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 1, 2010 at 9:02pm: Well, it's up in the air whether he is going to Pensacola or TN. I hope he goes to pensacola. Either way I am going to his graduation to support him, Thanks for all the information:)

Comment by SAFutureFC~ship 12, div 181~ on April 1, 2010 at 5:24pm: The first time you will get to see your sailors is when they call Liberty Call following the Graduation Ceremony, there is no dinner with them prior. Mom2sailors is correct then she says that when the grad n' go's leave is up to what arrangements the military has made for them as to when they leave and that you are more then welcome to spend time with them at the airport while they wait for their plane. The best way to plan for Grad n' go's is to get the info from you Grad, for they will get the info from their RDC's. Some division's are grad n go some are not. No one in my division was Grad n' go, so we were lucky there. Some families waited to visit with their grads till they go to their next command, especially if they were grad n' go's. what is the point in flying/driving all the way up here, spending all kinds of money if your going to see your Sailor for an hour for them to ship out to a base much closer to home? But that is an opinion and for you to make that choice. Remember, they make DVD's of graduation...... and so do other parents......

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 1, 2010 at 11:55am: That's what I am worried about. My boyfriend is leaving for pensacola and I live in florida so it's not that far. But, I have been getting different answers from anyone. I hope I get to spend some time with him. Does anyone know if there is a dinner the night before graduation with the sailors? My boyfriends dad said there is always one but was not with the papers.
