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 bamom88 on May 17, 2010 at 6:41pm: Kris O and msleahmom my son is ship 3 div 229, too!

Comment by bamom88 on May 17, 2010 at 6:39pm: Hi everyone. PIR July 1 here too. We got the box last week. I called the recruiter last week asking for his address. He called back this morning and gave it to me so I got a letter out asap. Then of course the form letter shows up this afternoon! I guess tonight I need to work on getting plane tickets and a hotel room.

Comment by NavyMom2010 on May 17, 2010 at 1:45pm: sobomom - how do you manage to get information from a recruiter? My sons recruiter does not answer the phone or return my calls. And I have never asked them the first question so it's not like they are tired of hearing from me....

Comment by judymg on May 16, 2010 at 10:09pm: Anyone's son or daughter on SHIP 3 DIV 233 ? It sounds like I have to change PIR plans by a day. I'm lucky because we're right in the Chicago area and can drive to Great Lakes with little problem. I can see where this could present a problem with people traveling far. The number of miles don't matter....still miss him. We don't know if he can come home for the weekend yet.

Comment by Kris O on May 16, 2010 at 11:03am: Hi Soboman,
No I still have not received "the box". Called my recruiter on Friday and spoke to him about it. He told me he would call me back....he never does so I will follow up again on Monday....He left May 5th and everyone who left that day have already received there box....

Comment by NavyMom2010 on May 15, 2010 at 9:43pm: We're booked for the Ramada! See you all July 2nd! Can't Wait!

Comment by NavyMom2010 on May 15, 2010 at 9:22pm: Thanks for this discussion group and all the info. It helps me to feel like I am somehow closer. I too can't wait, can't wait, can't wait for soo many things. Just to hear his voice will be priceless! And to HUG him again!! We will be booking our hotel this weekend too. Haven't decided to drive or fly yet. Watching those rates for now. We are in NC and the drive would be approx 12 hrs. not thrilled about that, would really rather fly, but hubby's not so sure about that.. :) Thanks again for this opportunity to feel "connected". There is sooo much i want to know.
