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 Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on April 30, 2010 at 11:55pm: Good evening back to you Tristans Mom. Thank you for your reply. My son is on Ship 11 Div 210....Have you heard from your son, yet? I hope all is well. I can't wait for Sunday...maybe I get another phonecall.......

Comment by JudyB. on April 30, 2010 at 10:43pm: Good Evening Charles' Mom - So Thrilled you received contact by phone from your Recruit ending one wave here comes the next waiting for word that they are settling into some what of routine and getting to know the recruits in his division and they are working together like a well oiled machine. that's what I'm hoping for my son. what is his PIR and ship & div?!

Comment by JudyB. on April 30, 2010 at 10:33pm: Pam - If you think you can take the extra time; I would say sure. After PIR the recruits will stay or may be Grads and Go.

Comment by JudyB. on April 30, 2010 at 10:30pm: Good evening Pam - Yes there is a graduation from A school There is a school in South Carolina and Camp Pendelton, CA. My Recruit is going to Corpsman in CA. He will there from 4-5 months, then on to the Reserve Center for 45 days; that's unless next week they come to talk to him from Job's

Comment by Charles' Mom Ship 11 Div 210 on April 30, 2010 at 10:28pm: Hello all....just stopping by to say 'Hello' and hope, that by now everyone has heard from their loved one. I have heard from my son last Sunday when he called me. It was so great to hear his voice. He sounded a little depressed and discouraged, but I am sure he will be allright. I wonder if he made any friends, yet. He didn't say much about it. I hope he will call me again this Sunday....I miss him so much.........

Comment by Sophia on April 30, 2010 at 10:22pm: Pam - My husband told me he was leaving for A School either on the day of graduation or the day after. It just depends on where they are going. Some guys might go to A School in Great Lakes, in which case they would have to go check in at A School and then they would have liberty the rest of the weekend (with curfews). At least that is how I understand it. Ask your recruit if you get a phone call or in a letter.

Comment by JudyB. on April 30, 2010 at 9:33pm: Ya know I booked Ramada on Thursday 6/10 because of Meet & Greet, would'nt miss that for the world; but were thinking of staying until Tuesday..Never been to Chicago would really like to treat my son our son to a Baseball game and the sites. His GF will be accompanying My Husband and Myself...I booked the rest of the stay @ the Residence Inn cause of the fully equipped kitchen where I can bake sons favorite dinner; It will be a long time before I will be able to cook for him with 4-5 months at A school.

Comment by JudyB. on April 30, 2010 at 9:21pm: trashline27 - My son is also same ship div 209; we live on the coast of California. I would love to drive our RV..love road trips but I think it would be even longer drive; may be A school?!

Comment by trashline27 on April 30, 2010 at 9:12pm: My son Terence also is graduating on this date. He is with ship 11 div 214. I am so excited. We are trying to decide -- drive or fly -- we live near Saratoga, New York in a town called Halfmoon so the drive will be 14 or 15 hours. I hope he and all of his shipmates are doing well... love him and think about him constantly,
