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."

Welcom Navy Loved ones! This site is so helpful for support and finding information and sharing information. Being a Navy Mom and Wife is such an honor. It isn't always easy to wait to hear from them, or to know that they have been, or will be in harms way, but we couldn't be more proud of our boys. The youngest boy said recently, "it feel pretty awsome to be part of something so big, and respected"... He is still in boot camp... My oldest has served three years and is a wonderful young man, who now believes serving their country is something all young men should do. We are so proud of all of our NAVY sons, husbands, daughters and wifes, boyfriends and girlfriends... Please share, ask questions, and enjoy the support provided by Navy for Moms.

Comment by Kelly on August 10, 2010 at 6:41pm: Opps! Meant 820!

Comment by Kelly on August 10, 2010 at 6:40pm: Hi Everyone! Just found out my son's PIR is 9/24 (thanks Jessica!) Anyone here with someone in DIV 830?

Comment by MandE'smom(Hi, I'm Mary) on August 10, 2010 at 6:19pm: You are right, Simply...I havent been on as much and I should go back to that Group!

Comment by SimplyJRB-ADs Mom on August 10, 2010 at 6:07pm: Do you all remember where we were & doing last week at this time? No, remember to go back to the Deps leaving in Aug. & remind those Moms that they & their recruits will make it too. :)

Comment by MandE'smom(Hi, I'm Mary) on August 10, 2010 at 2:34pm: Thanks Jessica B...I printed that page from the RTC site, highlighted the date, and wrote a note that it was official...then sent it up to my daughter. :)

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 10, 2010 at 11:48am: Well folks, I goofed up. The "body snatchers" are not from the 800 division, they are the "non-performing" recruits of the 900 division. The non-performing 900 recruits also provide behind-the-scenes staff such as door openers on the quarterdeck; helping with refreshments at the post-reception for the Honor Grads/Award Winners; and rail guards in the bleachers (they're the ones instructed to keep guests from against the railing during the ceremony).

I had received wrong info and shared it without checking first (okay, I'm old, please forgive me!). Thank goodness for this awesome lady at RTC who nicely corrected me.

Comment by Margaret (RSJMom Ship13/Div322) on August 10, 2010 at 9:56am: Good Morning Everyone! I woke up in an exceptional good mood even though I did not sleep well and was up to 2am...I think it's because I get to share with you all photos children today. Before my son left he and his big sister went and took pictures at JCP and I got them last night...the form letter on Saturday, letter writing on Sunday, pictures on Monday...9/24 will be here before you know it!!! Have a great day everyone and don't forget to Laugh Out Loud...it really helps! :-)

Comment by Maureen62 Proudmomofasailor on August 10, 2010 at 7:55am: Morning Everyone...I havent fallen off the face of the earth, just had a really busy weekend. My kids started school yesterday ( wooo hooo) . I see travel plans are starting . As you already know, your Meet N Greet is at the Ramada in Waukegan IL . You dont have to stay there. A lot in my PIR group are staying at the SpringHill Suites in Waukegan.
If any of you have any questions, either ask me through here or befriend me and ask me in private. Would be happy to help. I see your group is growing too :)
Have a wonderful day !!
