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 luvcrhm on February 10, 2013 at 1:59am: PIR 3/29/2013

SHIP 04 DIV 807

My SR left 2-4-2013, I recvd his box 2-7-2013 and the formal letter on

2-8-2013. That was quick!! So many emotions this past week. I am so proud of my SR ! I'm making my plans to travel, can't decide if flying into Ohare or Milwaukee is best.

Comment by lemonelephant on February 10, 2013 at 1:30am: SYNTIA, TG 20 should be posted this week. Sometimes they post about the same time people are getting form letters and other times, it takes a while.

The Page, 800 and 900 Divisions, within Boot Camp Moms will be of interest to you since you have a recruit in a performing division. I believe that Division 920 is Sticks/Flags.

Comment by SYNTIA (Ship 02 DIV 920) on February 9, 2013 at 7:54am: How long does it take for a TG to appear on the upcoming grads page?

Comment by lavendergrl8 on February 8, 2013 at 11:19am: SYNTHIA just curious- when did your SR arrive at bootcamp? thx :-)

Comment by SYNTIA (Ship 02 DIV 920) on February 8, 2013 at 9:32am: PIR 03/29/2013
Ship 02 DIV 920
Is anyone else in this group?

Comment by SYNTIA (Ship 02 DIV 920) on February 8, 2013 at 8:56am: We received "The Letter"!!!
It is so business like. Nonetheless, we were sooooooo excited and read every line with so much care. We are so very proud of our SR, I experienced BC personally. Somehow this knowledge, makes me smile and tearful at the same time. Too many emotions at once. We love and support our strong, young, and cute SR :)

Comment by lemonelephant on February 8, 2013 at 1:25am: lavendergrl8, Letter Writing & Fun Stuff/Questionnaires to send to your Recruit (clickable link) will give you info on when to expect a letter. If you look in the paragraph above, you will see how things worked out for families in one division recently.
