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 Aproudmom on August 22, 2011 at 7:01pm: My daughter said on 8/17 they were week 3 day 1. She also mentioned that she is on a push division. I figured that was because they were the last division formed. I sent her the breakdown that Kathy posted. She said that they aren't doing everything in order.

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on August 22, 2011 at 6:51pm: Kimmie your dead on right!!!! I got the same info from my son. Yes Tshirts are all being ordered by each individual who wants to play along. I ordered mine today and got 4 navy blue with white lettering. Only cost $53.00, PLus I ordered my RED hat to say SHESHE!!! I am gettin READYYYYYYYYY!!!!!

Comment by Boys R Us(ship07/div303) on August 22, 2011 at 6:42pm: Remember ladies the t-shirts that we are ordering (on our own) are only for the meet-n-greet....NOT graduation. Btw...thanks for all the well wishers!!! I feel great today. Must have been a 24 hour bug....anywho anyone get calls today? My SR told me he was going to get to call again in 2 weeks that was exactly 2 weeks ago. Luckily I am very aware now that you NEVER count your chickens before they hatch when it comes to The Navy...so I wasn't as disapointed as I normally would have been. P.S. I'm getting so excited to meet all my N4M Moms!!! ~~24 DAYS~~ ....*** thats sung to a tune! LOL!!!

Comment by diannep on August 22, 2011 at 6:06pm: It's easiest to count back from PIR day. The first groups to finish training are usually on 6-5 (week 6 day 5) the Wed or Thurs a week before PIR. That is the completion of bootcamp with just BattleStations remaining. The other divisions fill in from there with their 6-5, with the last groups reaching that by Monday of PIR week, from what I have seen.

Comment by diannep on August 22, 2011 at 6:04pm: Anita: The lower numbered divisions are probably in week 4 now...finishing up this week. The higher number divisions will be starting it and may be finished next M/T. They are all within a couple of days of each other.

Comment by Pennie on August 22, 2011 at 5:23pm: My SR has been gone exactly 5 weeks today. He said he had about a week of P days so the best I can come up with he is somewhere at the beinning of week 4

Comment by Julie on August 22, 2011 at 4:20pm: I think Anita is right. I'm not sure though. My SR is in a push division, so I think they should be at week 5...I think? Man Idk. I got a letter that was dated the 15th and he said he was on week 2 day 4, so...even in the push division, they should be on week 3 day 5 or 6 (they graduate week 7 day 2 according to my SR). So they should be in the middle of week 4 if not going onto week 5....I think....

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 22, 2011 at 3:29pm: I'm wondering if ones for PIR of Sept 16th have not already gone through hell well. I show today should be the start of week #5 (unless they are going through 7 weeks of training instead of 8)

Comment by Horselover SHIP 11 DIV 322 on August 22, 2011 at 3:18pm: I will do that now

Comment by Mom2JT on August 22, 2011 at 3:06pm: Horselover - friend me, that's the same call I got last week. very scripted he told me 2 wks. I don't know why, I don't know what's going on and it's killing me, I have to wait for him to either write or call to get any information including his new Address.
