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 diannep on June 27, 2011 at 9:19pm: meant to say...."see that about 934 on that same day"....

Comment by diannep on June 27, 2011 at 9:17pm: Thanks, Navywife, for confirming BattleStations date for 221/222. Seeing that bout 934 confused me. And, yes, sometimes the dates can change...that's why I asked. But normally, they go in numerical order, from low to high...not including the 800 and 900 divisions.

Heidi: She will probably be at the A School base until she classes up. She will have INDOC as will the others during the first week or two she is there. They go through this each time they change bases....gets them familiar with policies, rules, etc of that particular base. By the time she finishes that, she should be close to time to class up.

Comment by joel's_rackie on June 27, 2011 at 9:09pm: If you can't make it to Meet and Greet, it's okay.. we will see you at the PIR instead!! What division is you Sailor Recruit (SR)?

Comment by joel's_rackie on June 27, 2011 at 9:07pm: Katrayher: welcome to our group!! Glad that you found us!!

Comment by Heidi Ship 12 Div 219 on June 27, 2011 at 8:42pm: I also have my gate pass!! And received a letter today,she said she will be calling on Friday after BS (12/219). She also said she got her first set of orders Monday and won't be starting A school until the 21st of July. If that doesn't change, what and where is she untill then?

Comment by diannep on June 27, 2011 at 7:53pm: Kathleen: If that is your SR's last name in your screen name, you will need to change it. We can't post last names on this site. But if it isn't the same as your SR's, no problem!

Welcome to the group!....and please ask any questions you like. Check out the discussion groups above first (hit VIEW ALL) and many of your questions will be answered. If not, just ask on here! I am one of the veteran moms here to help....Lala, Betsy, Sandy, Jessica, and a few others drop in too. So ask when you have a question. Glad you are here!

Comment by diannep on June 27, 2011 at 7:51pm: Anyone in Div 221/222 hear that they are doing BattleStations this Thurs night? I'm a bit confused because I saw a post that 934 may be going that night. That would be 5 divisions going through if 221/222 are going also, which usually doesn't happen.

Anyone have dates? Also for 815.

Comment by cas1 on June 27, 2011 at 7:11pm: Got my gate pass! Also got a letter. My daughter sounded great! She said we shouldn't have any trouble finding her at PIR marching in because they have the smallest div since everyone has been "ASMO'd" I guess they have had a rough time. Can't wait. Hope to meet some of you at meet and greet, NEXT WEEK.

Comment by CArol on June 27, 2011 at 6:24pm: WooHoo!! got my gate pass AND a letter today :)

Comment by diannep on June 27, 2011 at 4:55pm: Remember to type the password for the gate pass in ALL CAPS. This is in your original form letter. It can't be shared on this site so hope all found their letter.

If you have a problem downloading the pass, try (free) downloading googlechrome or mozilla firefox as that usually solves the problem.
