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 txmom (ship 3 div 232) on May 18, 2010 at 4:50pm: proudmom- I dont know which state you are in but I am in the middle of Texas and I got mine yesterday and the post mark read that it was sent on Friday 5/14.

Comment by proudmom on May 18, 2010 at 3:57pm: Thank you Joana1.1.10~ My son just got to BC last Tuesday. I just saw that everyone was getting their form letters and I was getting a little nervous.

Comment by Joana1.1.10 on May 18, 2010 at 3:30pm: The form letter usually takes a week to 10 days to get to the address the recruit puts on it..

Comment by proudmom on May 18, 2010 at 3:00pm: Does anyone know how long it usually take to get the form letter or does it differ for each recruiter.

Comment by txmom (ship 3 div 232) on May 18, 2010 at 2:19pm: Hi Im new to the site, my son is in ship 3 div 232. I learned through this site about the change in PIR and verified on the recruit training command website. I received my 'box' and form letter both yesterday. My son is going to be in A-school in Great Lakes also, so I was told we should be able to send a good amount of time with him over the weekend.

Comment by bamom88 on May 18, 2010 at 1:56pm: LauraLee, that's great! that would have made my day, too.

Comment by JOSHUAKEITH on May 18, 2010 at 10:52am: My son is ship 03 div 234 too. i can't wait to go see him graduate. this is the first time he has been away from home for this long.
