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 SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 3, 2010 at 3:20am: My son's PIR group had 8 divisions, 2 went at a time for 4 nights. But who knows what may have changed since that video, and you are right, when there are lots of divisions, like PIR 9/2 has, maybe that exercise can handle that many people at once. But now my brain is as tired as my body, so I will say goodnight and wish you sweet dreams Kristina!
Good Night, Sobe (Lisa)

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 3, 2010 at 3:14am: Which when you think about it that might really work for the following grad week because there are 14 divisions

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 3, 2010 at 2:58am: What goes on and about the making of it.*

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 3, 2010 at 2:57am: Thats what i heard on another video. They were showing Whats goes on how about it. Thats what the chief said. I was shocked

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 3, 2010 at 2:42am: "Usually", two or maybe three divisions do BS-21 together, but I've not heard of five divisions doing it all the same night (unless I am misunderstanding the 352 person count below). But there is always a first for everything!

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 3, 2010 at 2:08am: I didnt know all 352 recruits do Battle stations together. Wow

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 3, 2010 at 1:53am: Well when anyone finds out which day is their battle station day please let me know because I would like to know. Thankzzzzzz

Comment by trisha on August 3, 2010 at 12:22am: Ok, now I feel like a total dummy. Back to the store for a blue candle, but I will let my younger son burn the other one, as he was very happy when he found it. Amazing what distance has done for their relationship, I think they actually like each other now. :-)

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 2, 2010 at 11:55pm: Whats funny is that i told my husband weeks ago about the blue candle well him and his old bunk mate ask me in the letter i got today about it. I just finished writing back to see when i come on ya talking about the same thing.
Sorry to hear about your child didnt get their check.
