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 Jules on April 5, 2010 at 9:17pm: Hello PIR 5/21/2010! I have a quick question...our daughter is in Div 927: When we write, does she (and all the sailors) receive mail daily or is it saved until Sunday?

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on April 5, 2010 at 9:11pm: mikesproudmom- My boyfriend is also a college grad who is 23. What is your son's rank?

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on April 5, 2010 at 8:56pm: Welcome to the group momof5! How are you holding up?

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on April 5, 2010 at 8:53pm: Hi all... my son is in Ship 04 Division 192. Same PIR date. Just got the form letter today.

Comment by JasonM'sGirl (Ship 14 Div 189) on April 5, 2010 at 8:06pm: That never even occured to me! They'll be so tidy haha! Yeah, I don't get too tan, but I figure if I try EVERY weekend between now and then, SOMETHING should happen!

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on April 5, 2010 at 8:02pm: I sat outside in the sun attempting to get that tan. I hope you have better luck being in FL than me in Massachusetts. I can't wait to see the transformation of our men. They will be able to fold and make beds better than we can!

Comment by JasonM'sGirl (Ship 14 Div 189) on April 5, 2010 at 7:44pm: I actually had the same idea in mind!! He said in his letter than once physical training really starts he'll start to shed the pounds, even though he really doesn't need to. So I told him, the more he loses, the more I'll lose, because we have to stay proportionate haha! So yeah, my goal is at least 5 by the time he graduates. I also wanna get tan haha, I live in FL so you'd think it'd be easy, but apparently, it's not!

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on April 5, 2010 at 7:42pm: I'm giving myself my own physical training. To keep myself busy I made a goal of getting in shape (running wise) and to lose 10 pounds by the time May 21st comes around. Have you set up any goals to keep yourself busy?

Comment by JasonM'sGirl (Ship 14 Div 189) on April 5, 2010 at 7:31pm: Hahaha we really do have pretty much the same story! Except I don't live with him. But I met him during a show we were both in, then we went the entire summer talking and hanging out, but nothing was ever official until August, for whatever reason haha! And I agree, there should be a boot camp for the girlfriends! Just not as much physical training haha!

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on April 5, 2010 at 7:27pm: Wow, we sound so much alike! I met my boyfriend in January of last year (when we started working at Red Robin haha) and we really started talking in April-ish. We started getting very close, and became official in October. Before we moved in together, I got the good morning texts, the during the day texts, and the good night texts. Once we moved in together I had that in person, which was amazing. We went from everything to nothing in one day. I wish there was a bootcamp for Navy girlfriends to get us prepared for this!
