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 aveoamare(Ship02div925) on March 19, 2011 at 5:56am: I'm bringing my son, who will be 10 months old in may.

Comment by melisacnp on March 19, 2011 at 5:50am: Anyone taking small kids to PIR? My son has not seen his new sister as he left the week before she was born. Just not sure if I need to drag a nanny along to keep her in the room while we are at PIR. Any thoughts?

I feel behind in taking all the great info in with a baby....never thought I would have a baby with one in the navy lol!

Comment by Shari on March 19, 2011 at 3:55am: Thank you, Cyndi :) I did a little more nosing around and found answers to the questions I posted. Good thing I took notes, I may never find my way back there again, lol

Comment by cyndaroo7 on March 19, 2011 at 3:29am: Shari: I heard the shuttles are great cuz they take you right to the front gates and you get past all the lines of cars. But I don't know that firsthand.

I think it's too early to figure all that out. Cyndi

Comment by Shari on March 19, 2011 at 2:32am: Hi Everyone,

Received the letter from my son yesterday! :) Ship 12 Div 157. Haven't been to the Chicago area in years and have been looking online at hotels. Looks like Waukegan is closest? Is it better to take a hotel shuttle to the graduation, or rental car?

Comment by cyndaroo7 on March 19, 2011 at 2:25am: I got my form letter today and the box 2 days ago. He said he was doing good and Tuesday was the longest day of his life!! And by the end of the day he felt like he'd been there 4 days! And he KNEW what to expect! His sister just went through it but got sent home after 6 wks. She was sending home drawings for him of how to fold his clothes and all. LOL Of course he's a GUY --- SO he didn't take head! We'll see how he does now. We got this form letter in just 2 days, but my daughter's letters took about 7 days at first to get through. Keep writing and they WILL get them. Cyndi

Comment by Mom2aSailor on March 19, 2011 at 12:36am: Vivianne.. my daughter is in ship 02/div 925 also! We got our 1st "real" letter also! :)

Comment by jbird on March 19, 2011 at 12:05am: Defiance Mom,

Yes, I know. I actually did find another nuke mom who's son is in the same ship/division headed to SC as well. Kind of neat to know. Do you mind sharing what your son will be doing for his job?
