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 TexasLiz on July 16, 2011 at 11:59pm: I got my DEERS packet and paperwork today from my Husband, though I think I found the reason I havent received a form letter or his box yet. I think he's been in such a rush and so stressed he forgot to write our APT number on all his things :( :(. I dont know how this letter even got in my box because it had a big ? on it next to the address, because that one didnt even have my APT number on it... I hope I get this all straightened out monday. And i'm hoping nothing got returned to sender yet, I dont want him getting in trouble! I did write in his letter tonight to please write our apt# on his letters from now on, lol.

Comment by diannep on July 16, 2011 at 4:30pm: Sounds like you all are "good to go", Sharon and Jana....thanks to both of you for consolidating/adding the discussion groups.

Comment by jordan.((ship11div.277)) on July 16, 2011 at 2:26pm: I know how you feel.. I'm on pins and needles just waiting.. ):

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on July 16, 2011 at 1:14pm: I really thought today would be the day, but still no letter... =(

Comment by Jana on July 16, 2011 at 12:50pm: diannep-I noticed the other day that there were 2 discussion groups for my son's division-Ship 09 Div 279. I think after I brought it to the attention of the person who started the 2nd one, that one has been deleted, so now there should only be 1

Comment by balsuz Kevin's mom :) on July 16, 2011 at 12:48pm: You will SailorsCupcake! :) let us know if it arrives today! :) Suzanne

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on July 16, 2011 at 12:21pm: Looks hopeful for me! Balsuz, if you got mail in Houston, I'm praying that means I'll get mine, here in DFW!!! Fingers crossed!

Comment by diannep on July 16, 2011 at 10:24am: Glad to see you over on this group, 1DYBUGs. Hoping you got some good info during your time on the 9/1 group! Sadly, the creator of that group said her son is being medically discharged...sigh...she got that group up and running fast which was a great thing!

Tay'sMom: Please feel free to start a discussion group above for 270. Just click on "Add a Discussion."

Ladies, I see in the discussion groups above where there are several divisions with more than one discussion group started. You may want to delete down to one division group per division number so you are all in the same place. Confusing otherwise...

Comment by 1DYBUGs Mom/Dana - S9/D280 on July 16, 2011 at 9:11am: I feel a little behind on this group. We had initially thought she was going to PIR on 09/01, however she ended up sliding in with this PIR a short BC for her.
