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."

I was so thrilled to see his handwriting and the brief personal note at the end of the form letter! Stay in touch...we need to find others in the same ship/div...

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 12, 2011 at 12:17am: Hi Lee Ann! Welcome to the group!!

Do you have any words of advice for what we should think about when it comes to flying in...which airport is better? Should we rent a car? Did you go to the Ramada Meet & Greet, suggest we go as well? Any advice on navigating the area? really any wisdom you can spread our way since you have "been there...done that" LOL Thanks!!

Will you be going to his friends graduation?

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 11, 2011 at 11:57pm: Babyryin- my son is in Ship 11 Divisions 186 he left on 4/5 as well. So it sounds like they are in the same division but different ships...huh...interesting! I don't get how they organize everything!!

LisaB- Thanks :o)

Comment by Babyryin (Mandy) on April 11, 2011 at 10:36pm: My Husband left 04/05 and is on Ship 3 Div 186. I hope this is the correct PIR for us. 06/03 is a bit earlier than I had thought but that is a good thing. Fingers Crossed! I got the hubby in a box Friday - that hit me off guard. Had to sit in the car for a moment. I have mailed letters each day (yes I know he will most likely do push ups for them but hopefully it will be worth it).

I would love to hear from any others in the same division/ship.

Comment by LoriMN - Ship 11 Div 185 on April 11, 2011 at 8:39pm: My son is on ship 11 div 185 also! I also got the box, and a quick call and got his address today and sent a letter. I cant wait for graduation June 3rd.

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 8:03pm: Yah mmiles! Hey, want to add a picture instead of the silhouette icon? Just google NAVY PICTURES, pick one you like...save it...and download it. They have some really cute ones out there. Also, you may want to put your name up at the top by the profile picture as the one in charge of the group. Thanks for stepping up to the challenge!

Comment by NavyHubby81(Ship 02 Div 929) on April 11, 2011 at 8:00pm: mmiles> I see that you are from Everett, WA. I was stationed on the USS Paul F. Foster there and after 4 years I ended up stationed in Silverdale, WA... I miss that area a lot!
