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 ColoAProudSailorMom on April 21, 2010 at 9:11pm: Well, spill it, Terrie! How did he sound? What did he talk about? Does he sound like the Chris you know and love?

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on April 21, 2010 at 9:07pm: I got my first letter today!!!

Comment by Jakesmom on April 21, 2010 at 7:06pm: Yahoooooooo I GOT A LETTER TODAY!!!!! Remember I'm only 3 hours from Great Lakes in Wisconsin so mail gets here pretty fast. Jake wrote while he was in church. Our church he attends on base provides paper, envelopes, pens and stamps for the kids that attend there. He sounded just like Jake, a little home sick but sounded good. So ladies I'm sure your letters will be coming soon. He did say he might be able to call soon..........It's true just that one short note makes all the difference in the world.

Comment by Jakesmom on April 21, 2010 at 5:03pm: Pam........Your sons recruiter might know his A-school information. We knew before Jake left where and when his A school was going to be. Otherwise I think you have to wait to find out for your son when he gets closer to graduation.

Comment by lori on April 21, 2010 at 4:59pm: Rebecca- did you mean Wednesday? i also checked the mail soon as it came.
I NEVER check the mail- who does snail mail anymore but bills? But maybe tomorrow.....

Comment by pamdiv928(ship 06) on April 21, 2010 at 4:53pm: Thank you ColoAustin'smom and Lori ship14div199 for answering my questions! I went to the web site you reccomended Austins mom and got some more answers but was unable to get the info about A school. Does anyone know how to get into this? It says it is not a secure website. Thank you !

Comment by lori on April 21, 2010 at 10:15am: Pam- i can actually answer this one! It stands for Pass In Review.
Yes they can have their cells and lap tops and ipods. And their own clothes. No more whitey tidyes!

Comment by ColoAProudSailorMom on April 21, 2010 at 10:15am: Hi Pam-
PIR stands for Pass-In-Review - we know it as graduation. This link will take you to a very informative site. http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/ If you take the time to read everything, many questions will be answered. It answered questions I hadn't even thought of!

Comment by pamdiv928(ship 06) on April 21, 2010 at 10:10am: Can someone tell me what PIR stands for? Also, does anyone know what life is like in A school? Will they be able to own a cell phone and call home more often? Will they be able to have their lap top computers or atleast have access to a computer?

Comment by lori on April 20, 2010 at 10:25pm: Dawn- that's great! So happy for you! But not good news to hear their div is always getting into trouble since our son is in that one!
Oh maybe I'll get a letter this week- I'm going to be running to the mail every day now.
