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."

hello Vicki!!! it's all "new" to most of us as well. i think ship 13 div321 is finishing up Hell Week (not 100% sure but pretty sure...our Recruit called home on aug. 30th and told us that Hell Week was starting that following wed). do you think you will be able to go to PIR? also our group discussion is "Ship13 Div321" under the listing of discussion groups and that's where all the moms/wives/girlfriends post our specific concerns for ship13 div 321.

http://www.navyformoms.com/group/pir9242010/forum/topics/ship13-div321 ---here's the link but you can easily find it under discussion groups for PIR 9-24-10

again glad you have joined us and keep us posted on Jonathan!!!

Hi vicki0923 ship13 div321, glad to meet you. I somehow missed your post, didn't want you to think I was ignoring you. :) Wow, graduated in June and in boot camp in August. I totally feel you on such a quick transition. Glad to hear you can already see the change. I've been told that the change from "kid" to "man" can be dramatic. I'm just going to do my best to stay flexible so I can adjust to these changes. Although my SR is my cousin and not my son...I helped raise him since he was born, so I can say I've got some pretty strong feelings about his transition. But I'm going to get there. LOL! And welcome. I saw that Connie already posted the link to the PIR 9/24/2010 group for you, so I'll see you over there too.

Hi AuxLady, I don't know if you or if you have family traveling from PA for PIR, but we just found airfare $179 RT from PHL to ORD. Hopefully it can help someone get to PIR.
