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."

I'm so excited everything seems so real and the date is getting closer!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 19, 2010 at 4:09pm: If you want long calls next week after BS-21, mail them another phone card today! Most are given about 45 minutes to make as many calls as they can - and each time they use the card to start a call from a pay phone, it sucks away a lot of minutes from the card.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 19, 2010 at 2:28pm: Auto Insurance: Heads up! My son was smart to sign an authorization allowing me to discuss/change/cancel his auto insurance before he left for bc. We just sold his car (his request) and I needed that authorization to cancel his insurance! (He is 21 and had his own policy). But what is really good is the great advice I got from another N4M mom: I told the company to make a note that he is in the Navy, this way when he does buy and insure another vehicle, he will not be charged a "non-insured person fee". Auto Insurance companies frown on people who are not currently insured. So make a note of this for the future - it sure helped in our situation!

Comment by Vic28(Former Ship 10 Div 254) on July 19, 2010 at 1:07pm: If anyone is on Facebook, the recruit training command page has pics posted of this weeks captains cup. Fun!
The facebook page is
Recruit Training Command
and I think the pics are actually of the 7/23 grad class. Our guys and gals have their Captains Cup competition this week, but not sure if we will be lucky enough to have them post them again. It is neat to see the pics though and so many faces laughing and smiling!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 19, 2010 at 12:19pm: To parents/loved ones of Grad & Go's: Here's a simple list to mail to your recruit NOW so they can hand it to you at PIR. We lost an hour with our son because he didn't think to look at his plane ticket to see which airport he was flying out of, we had to wait until he got to the airport to use a phone to call us so we knew where to go!

Dear (son/daughter/loved one),
Once you receive your plane ticket, fill in the answers below and take it with you to PIR to hand to us after the ceremony (don't mail it to us!):

Airport_______________________________

Airline________________________________

Flight #___________________________

Flight time_________________________

First destination (if more than one flight) _____________________________________

Time the bus leave RTC_______________

Comment by Jaz04 on July 19, 2010 at 11:08am: Wolf Grrl, I looked back at my comments and see that a few of us asked Julie to make the ribbons for us.

Julie - how is it coming/going? Are you overwhelmed and need us to do our own?

Comment by Sue(Rife'smom)Ship12Div259 on July 19, 2010 at 9:30am: Hello ladies, I got a call yesterday! I hope you all did as well. He says BS 21 is Wed 7/28. The division is coming together well and have gotten about 7 flags the last one being for marching. My son is Grad & Go to GL for A school as an Electricians Mate. He said they are being "pushed". I hope that means we get him for the whole weekend. They are all looking forward to PIR. He says he'll be in the back since he's tall. I told him to stay in his spot and we'll manuever to him. No time to get lost in the crowd.

Comment by Tucson Mom (Ship 04 Div 817) on July 18, 2010 at 11:29pm: We are getting so close! Yay!
One quick question, is the PIR inside?

Comment by emsmom/ship12/div259 on July 18, 2010 at 10:50pm: Sobe,
We (my husband and I) loved your "bathroom story". I also appreciate your advice on how to go about writing to those not getting mail. BC is about over. I will try sending out a few letters tomorrow with my daughter's. She will probably know who to give them to. I will also keep this in mind for A school.

We are so sorry that you are not going to at our PIR or meet-n-greet. You are a HOOT!!!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 18, 2010 at 9:29pm: cath - oh, he will, trust me. Brandon was on Head duty for a while too!

jaz04 - my son LOVED his dress whites. This was a guy who used to wear his jeans real low so his butt showed, but now he loves looking good - and they do look GOOD in their uniforms. And taller too - they finally learn how to stand straight and tall, I thought he had grown 2 inches!
