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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on June 20, 2012 at 4:21pm: dbarton, I'm sure diannep won't mind me answering for her. Yes, you will get the "I'm a sailor" call sometime in the afternoon after they go through BS.

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on June 20, 2012 at 4:05pm: Tampsha where are you all from and what will your son's rating be? A School?

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on June 20, 2012 at 4:03pm: Thanks diannep - yes it does get confusing...so does the "I'm a sailor call" come the day after BS?

Comment by diannep on June 20, 2012 at 11:23am: Janell: You are on the same schedule as NicksWife!

Comment by diannep on June 20, 2012 at 11:21am: dbarton: No, they don't count Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays in the training week/day count. They are on "hold" then.

So your division's 4-1 will be next Tuesday. Her division's 6-5 will be on Mon of PIR week. NicksWife's division's 6-5 will be the Thurs week before PIR. Can get confusing, right?

6-5 is when they are ready to do BattleStations. HOOYAH!

Comment by Jenn_NicksWifey on June 20, 2012 at 10:37am: Janell - no problem. I look up what they are doing and write about it to my husband. Like next week is weapons training, which I know he was looking forward to. I told him what guns he'll be practicing with. We have an almost 6 month old daughter that he always jokes won't be allowed to date until she's 40 and that's the reason he got his FOID (Firearm Owners ID) card. So I wrote, "You'll be working with the M-16 and 12 gauge shotgun, Katelynn's future boyfriends, beware!" I love being able to give him a heads up for what's coming up there and some encouragement when I see there's a test coming up.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 20, 2012 at 10:10am: Tampsha, you can order up to a week before you leave if you are paying through PayPal. If you are mailing the payment allow more time for the payment to get to me. I can have them finished and in the mail within a day. They ship Priority 2-3 day mail so I like to have them all in the mail by Wednesday or Thursday the week before your PIR. So you still have plenty of time :-)

Comment by Janell on June 20, 2012 at 10:09am: NicksWife and diannep and dbarton, thanks so much for the info. Hard to explain, but I feel better knowing approximately what they are doing each day. I suspect I am not alone in this? ; ) Now I can revise and be more accurate! I'm hoping for another letter today or tomorrow!!!

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on June 20, 2012 at 8:53am: diannep - do they count Saturdays in their training week?

Comment by dbarton(ship04div223) on June 20, 2012 at 8:23am: diannep - I talked to my daughter yesterday! YAY and she said it was 3-1 for their division (she was in a push division)
