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 Darnell on February 2, 2011 at 9:55am: Good Morning Ladies,

I hope everyone is doing ok with all this bad weather. I think we all need to put a little extra prayer in for those who are trying to travel to graduation this week.

16 days to go for us. Hope everyone is getting all the things they need for thier trip.

Well everyone stay safe.

Comment by NavyMomX's2(Ship 03 Div 334) on February 1, 2011 at 2:14am: Darnell, that's what we are planning to do as well. Probably will mail one last letter the Friday before PIR. I wouldn't send any more letters the week of PIR. Maybe they will tell us in one of the letters soon.

Comment by Darnell on January 31, 2011 at 3:51pm: Maria- I watched that. I just think about all the stuff our kids are doing. Things I will never do. They really are very special. It take some guts. Not sure I have enough.

Does anyone know when we should stop sending mail to the address we have. I think it take like a week for my daughter to get the mail I send her. So maybe stop the week of graduation.

Comment by NavyMomX's2(Ship 03 Div 334) on January 31, 2011 at 2:28am: We live in Texas. Just west of Houston. Building a house an hour away from where we are now. Trying to get away from the city life. LOL..Sorry i haven't had a chance to comment you back on your page. I did receive it though. Very very sorry for that. So is it just us so far from our division. The PIR group is so BIG for 02/18/11 i can't keep up with the comments and post. Can't wait to meet you all. We're staying at the Holiday Inn Express in Waukegan. What about everyone else?

Comment by Sailormom21811 on January 31, 2011 at 1:16am: Happy to have you with us NavyMomX's2! We have a wonderful and supportive group. Where do you live? I hope you are having nice weather for house building. As cold as it will be in GL you willl be able to wear the blue AND the pink scarf to PIR! Welcome Friend.

Comment by NavyMomX's2(Ship 03 Div 334) on January 31, 2011 at 1:00am: Hi everyone! So glad to finally meet other people in the same Ship and Div as my daugther. I've been here since she left for bootcamp back on Dec. 13th. We're so very busy building a house and with life in general i haven't been able to get back here for quite awhile. Please add me to your friends. I'll have to find a pink scarf. I just bought a blue one with matching hat and gloves. LOL..

Comment by usapaula (ship 02 div 913) on January 30, 2011 at 3:06pm: I joined both groups and sent a message. Waiting to hear back, I'll let you guys know. I would do it for another member as we are all in the same 'boat'

U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command has a page Facebook and they post pics of all the graduations, there are 60+ from fridays PIV. So maybe we can see them on that page
