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 Anita n Ohio on August 1, 2011 at 3:02pm: ~ + * + ~ ATTENTION ALL 02/944! ~ + * + ~ All hands on deck, all hands on deck!! We are on a mission every Tuesday until our PIR.

MISSION – to get to see our SRs and their fellow division members. The Means – be sure to be on Facebook 5 – 10 minutes BEFORE 11am Eastern Standard Time (10am central and so on and so forth) on RTC’s page. THE REASON – to answer Tuesday Trivia question and WIN! If one of our members from 02/944 wins, we get to request a picture of our group and see our loved ones! The answer will be found at http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil When you answer, be sure your post is a reply to the question – ones posted as a NEW POST will not count. Also – be sure it’s the whole answer. Last week the question was how many different religious services does GL offer. The answer was 13 with a list of each of them. Many answered with just the number “13” and lost (this is handy when you know how to copy and paste to be quick on your answer) So, we have a mission – to get a really good look at our troop and see their fellow SRs. Can we do it? YES! Will we succeed? YES! Come on, MOMS! We want to see our kids! LOL LET’s DO IT!!!!

Comment by Tink on August 1, 2011 at 2:21pm: Hello to all ! Someone needs to take me down from my cloud. Just got a the letter and box today and found out my daughter is graduating a week earlier than we expected. Woohoo, I am stoked. Her birthday is two days after graduation. I have been having a huge pity party this past week and I can proudly say that party is OVER! Ship 11 Div 314

Comment by elkinsd on August 1, 2011 at 1:27pm: Hi Pennie, So is your son's PIR date also 09/16/11?

Comment by Evi on August 1, 2011 at 1:26pm: Elkinsd - my son is in the same division and is going NUKE as well. I got his form letter today confirming ship/div!

Comment by Pennie on August 1, 2011 at 1:12pm: Elkinsd my son is also going into the nuke program. I know how you feel its been a real adjustment not talking to my son.

Comment by elkinsd on August 1, 2011 at 1:04pm: Hello All, I'm new to the website :-) My son' s expected PIR date is 09/16/11, SHIP 12 DIV 310. I hate not being able to talk to him, but I'm so very proud of him! He is going into the NUKE program. Does anyone else have a love one going into this program?

Comment by tina41 on August 1, 2011 at 12:52pm: I got my first real letter today Yaaaaaaaahooooooooooo! My SR sounds good. good luck to the rest of you!!

Comment by Horselover SHIP 11 DIV 322 on August 1, 2011 at 10:54am: Brittany, That seems to be what this whole group will be doing. It is going to either be a good day to be a mailman or it might be a really bad day to be a mailman.

I fear for them!!!
