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 diannep on March 17, 2011 at 10:27pm: Ozzy: We found the Residence to be very convenient to alot of areas. We went into Gurnee which is close by...

Comment by diannep on March 17, 2011 at 10:26pm: Lala, the Residence Inn is actually down the street from the Walmart shopping center. Springhill Suites and Courtyard are right there next to Walmart shopping center though. All are Marriott hotels and nice...and convenient!

Comment by Mom2aSailor on March 17, 2011 at 9:48pm: forevermom.. on the fb US Navy Recruit Training command page they said that any recruits going out of IL for A school, will be leaving sat. :( I am kinda bummed about that.

Comment by M63052 on March 17, 2011 at 9:43pm: foreverMom, I was on a facebook page for the training command center and there were people discussing the PIR weekend. Some of the sailors ship out on Saturday for their specialized training and others have the whole weekend off. I think it depends on where they are going after graduation, not real sure though. I would like to understand that better myself.

Comment by April on March 17, 2011 at 9:29pm: Wow...all you in div 925 getting your letters! That's great. Hope my SR can write soon.

Comment by Valtameri on March 17, 2011 at 8:33pm: I would guess 160 would be in this PIR group. Looking at the size of recent PIR groups, the smallest amount has been 7 divisions, so that would be at least 157-161, 809, 925. The PIR could be bigger than that, too. As soon as I see it on the link above, I will change our group's name.

Comment by kim12div160 on March 17, 2011 at 8:29pm: by the way....thanks for everything that everyone is posting, it's great to see i'm not crazy & we are all on the same emotional roller coaster together!

Comment by kim12div160 on March 17, 2011 at 8:27pm: no form letter for me either,,,i think it must be coming via pony express, of course i am overly anxious too. i don't see anyone with div 160, but that is the division his recruiter gave to me. I saw my son in the FB pic too, well maybe not, but it was great to see some of what's going on up there! I'm reluctant to book anything until i'm sure about the PIR date, should be 5/6??? just waiting impatiently here :)

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on March 17, 2011 at 7:09pm: stingyb21, my son is ship 12 div 158. I got the form letter today- we're in PA. I hope your comes tomorrow :)
