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 blessedpr on April 27, 2010 at 3:56pm: Sandy I hope someone can help, but mail is slow so hopefully he will get your mail soon. I had an issue like that too, but my Husband is Ok with staying behind so my daughters and I can attend.

Comment by Arwen on April 25, 2010 at 4:32pm: Since four divisions go on PIR each night, they won't be going on the same training day. My son's PIR group BS21 schedule went like this:

095 & 096 Day 7-2 and 097 & 098 Day 7-1 went on Thursday
099 & 100 Day 7-1 and 101 & 102 Day 6-5 went on Friday
913 Day 7-2 went on Sunday, along with the recruits who failed the earlier sessions.

It all depends on how many holidays there were during their training (holidays don't count as training days) and how many divisions there are to go through. Some lower-numbered divisions do their Battlestations in week 6, others not until the end of week 7 and a few late-number divisions don't do it until the beginning of week 8.

Comment by AnG on April 24, 2010 at 5:54pm: Just adding my 2 cents here. I have a son graduating the same day and the 6-5 might mean the 5 day of the 6th week at boot. They do everything by the week and day according to my son. Not sure if that is right but it would be close. (And dont count the weekend).

Comment by blessedpr on April 24, 2010 at 8:14am: I will be getting there in the morning..
I am dying to know what they are doing now.
either way I pray for them every chance I get.

Comment by blessedpr on April 23, 2010 at 6:55pm: Is anyone else staying at the Ramada?

Comment by Pat ,ship14, div187 pir 5/14/201 on April 22, 2010 at 8:48pm: Hi my name is pat and would like to go to meet and great let know where and what time my son graduates 5/14/2010 me and my husband are coming from california

Comment by ILNavyMom2010 on April 21, 2010 at 9:04pm: CBsMom - I left you a friend request. It's nice to make a little connection with another Illinois recruit's mom!

Comment by ILNavyMom2010 on April 20, 2010 at 11:27am: I have not made any hotel reservations yet and want to take care of that this week. We're renting a car for the drive. Does anybody know if it would be better for me to go through Expedia or something like that to get hotel and car together? Thanks!

Comment by duckysmom on April 18, 2010 at 6:30pm: Thanks cameron'sproudmama! That's really the first news I'd had. Wish it had been better - demerits and "Hell week" sound bad. We're praying daily and glad to add you and Cameron to our list. Bonny

Comment by duckysmom on April 18, 2010 at 6:00pm: OK, I've been pretty patient. My son is Ship12 Div186. I've received one note and one phone call for about 5min during P days. Its been a while. I know no news is good news, I'm desperate to just know what's going on with him. I see where they earned the academic flag. Any other news would be appreciated if anyone knows any. Apparently, Dan missed one phone call by having to retake the ASFAB (?). I know he scored high - - he's a NUKE. But what about yesterday? Thanks!
