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 PROUDMAMMAOF2SAILORSSHIP11DIV383 on July 16, 2010 at 7:33pm: We got our letter the other day and have already book rooms at the Comfort Inn.I dont think in the letter it stated when my son, Joey would have to leave, should it have been in that letter?

Comment by richsmom (Div 818 PIR 9/2/10) on July 16, 2010 at 6:52pm: Thanks Sobe, Great idea. Now if I can find someone else from Div 818 it would be terrific.

Comment by Brenda (Div 293 PIR 9/2/2010) on July 16, 2010 at 6:29pm: Thanks Sobe, great idea-didn't think about putting the PIR and guess we don't really need the ship#

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 16, 2010 at 6:24pm: Your welcome junjens!

To all: This is just a suggestion, but it helps others identify you. If you change your user ID to reflect your recruits division and PIR date, this helps others who may in turn help you. Allthough the ship # is important when mailing letters, it really says nothing else. Division & PIR date are key. Changing your ID is easy - just go to the settings on right side of your profile page.
Here's an example of how my user id/name was when my son was in bc:

Comment by junjens (DIV 291 PIR 9-2) on July 16, 2010 at 6:13pm: Thanks Sobe!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 16, 2010 at 6:09pm: Hi Moms, Dads, girlfriends and family: There will be a few of us who join this group to help you all along - we are not experts, just moms who are paying forward a favor when seasoned moms helped us out while our kids were in bc (boot camp).

I just started a discussion above about Grad & Go's. It has the link to get to the group that answers those questions. It's best to ask your questions on that groups page, but I will do my best to check the discussion page as well. Grad & Go does not equal Gloom & Doom - there are actually quite a few perks!

Comment by junjens (DIV 291 PIR 9-2) on July 16, 2010 at 5:44pm: woo hoo 19 members and growing!

Comment by Brenda (Div 293 PIR 9/2/2010) on July 16, 2010 at 5:42pm: Ksmom2010-awesome to locate another family member from div 293
