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 SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 21, 2010 at 8:51pm: Keel Book: I don't know how much they cost because they lumped all my son's items together - I just heard the final total. Ask on the Boot Camp Moms' group, someone there may know!

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on July 21, 2010 at 7:47pm: nicosmom - Im soooo still thinking so hard and praying for your child and his PT and pneumonia - he is heavy on my heart all day since I read your first post and
Junjens - I had my wisdom teeth cut out all 4 of them in College... for three days I thought Id die.... but about the 4th day - it was all good!

thankx Sobe - great photo info! I know how great they look in those uniforms I had a bro and have a sista in the Navy - my bro retired.... Sista in law is a Commander! She is beautiful in her dress uniform - I cant wait to see these guys/ gals in theirs!

Comment by EQ on July 21, 2010 at 7:39pm: How much is the Keel book

Comment by Eunice-Ship07Div290 PIR 09/02 on July 21, 2010 at 7:27pm: Sobe-Thanks again. I have heard they are really great and I don't want to miss out. Thanks again

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 21, 2010 at 7:22pm: Eunice - your recruit orders them, but don't worry - if they didn't order as many as you would like to have, you will have a re-order slip inside the folder they come in. You have one year to order more prints. I heard about it early on, so I sent my son a letter telling him to "shoot the moon" and get the most for MY buck! He spent $174 (the max) and paid for them a few days before PIR with his debit card and I then I gave him the money back (which he gladly accepted!). If your recruit doesn't have a debit or credit card with them, I have been told they can be deducted from their paycheck - don't know this for sure though. I was also told by a mom that the portraits can be held at the NEX for payment by a family member with a check, debit/credit card on PIR day (after ceremony). They really are Professional portraits, and they won't be taken again any time soon unless your sailor really climbs up the ladder in the Navy!

Comment by Eunice-Ship07Div290 PIR 09/02 on July 21, 2010 at 7:01pm: Thanks Sobe for the photo info. Do you know if they order them there or do we receive something before graduation?

Comment by kelly67 on July 21, 2010 at 6:56pm: junjens, {{{{{HUGS}}}}} to you! I would want to do the same for my son too! At least he called & he is being taken care of.

Comment by junjens (DIV 291 PIR 9-2) on July 21, 2010 at 6:48pm: My son just called! He had just gotten 4 wisdom teeth removed and called to tell me he was fine. He didn't sound so fine, but no one does after getting their wisdom teeth removed. I want to help him and get him ice cream. Now I am so upset.

Comment by oregonmom1 (ship06/Div942pir9/2) on July 21, 2010 at 6:46pm: I got my second letter from Kristyn today. It was six lines, telling me she loves and misses me, she got her uniforms on the 18th, and she has not received a letter from me yet. I am sure they have crossed in the mail since I have sent one each day. Most important to me, her letter did NOT say she hated it, she thinks she made a huge mistake, and wanted to come home. I wish there were words to accurately convey how proud I am of her.
