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 naomie (ship 07-DIV 304) on July 28, 2011 at 4:05pm: Tina my son will have 4 seat I will be unable to go :( I would love to go but I will not have the money to take my family of 5 so please anyone that gets pictures please let me know I would love to have a picture of my son

Comment by Boys R Us(ship07/div303) on July 28, 2011 at 3:28pm: sheshe, that was a great idea..writing letters as a family. I think I'll steal your idea tonight! It really is therapeutic for me to write letters...helps me get thru it too!

Comment by Evi on July 28, 2011 at 2:24pm: Hey everybody - my SR's recruiter told me his ship/div was 12/310. I got his box Tuesday, but no letter yet. He shipped 7/21 and I am just beside myself to find out when graduation is and to confirm I've been sending letters to the correct address. I know, I know - no news is good news - easier said than done!!! I'm going nuts here waiting.

Comment by Anita n Ohio on July 28, 2011 at 2:13pm: <---- (Recruit's Comments from form letter) "Boot camp sucks! I hope you guys write me letters with a lot of motivation because I will need it for 9 weeks. Love you all and wish me luck!"

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on July 28, 2011 at 1:56pm: yeahhhhhhhhhhh. What did your son say

Comment by Pennie on July 28, 2011 at 1:00pm: KimmieM I am so glad to hear you got your letter!

Comment by diannep on July 28, 2011 at 12:44pm: tina: Most of the extras get in. Kids 12 and under do not count as part of the 4 guests (if you have any that young). No way would they make your 13 yr old stay by himself in the visitors center. Don't worry...he'll get in. The Navy has to cut off the guaranteed number to get in at 4 to ensure there is room. However, sadly, so many SRs have no one there for them so those spaces are freed up...and like in my case, we only had 2 guests there. There is room. Don't worry about it.

The SRs are given a chance to update their guest list a couple of weeks before PIR.

Comment by tina41 on July 28, 2011 at 12:20pm: about PIR i have a son who wants to go with us to the graduation he isnt on the guest list another relative is suppose to be going too so if neither of them get to watch the graduation my son will have someone with him in the visitor room the question is this if the relative doesnt go, will they let him in to watch the graduation and let me sit in the visitors room i am on the list he isnt old enough to stay by himself in the visitors room he will be 13

Comment by diannep on July 28, 2011 at 12:07pm: Yes, that is correct since they are 12 and under...only need birth certificate or social security card. They also don't count as part of the 4 on your SR's guest list because of their ages, so if others want to attend, you would have room!

Comment by sheshe866 (SHIP02 DIV944) on July 28, 2011 at 12:05pm: diannep - sorry I did not get to it earlier. I have been busy. Wanted to make sure of my kids going to PIR. All they need is a SS card correct? I have 2 going, one is 12 and one is 8.
