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 MarNavyMom on April 12, 2017 at 3:30pm: Welcome WifeNMudder! Yay!!! Thats awesome. We are some proud moms here.

Comment by WifeNMudder on April 12, 2017 at 2:49pm: Hello, I'm Melinda from Lewisville (between the D and the FW). My son is a senior in HS and has just completed MEPS and has been accepted into Nuke. He is due to ship out in January, however we were told that he'll probably be asked to go earlier. Very proud!

Comment by mary on April 7, 2017 at 7:26pm: Congrats on your boys. My son has been in 5 1/2 years also. He is currently deployed. We are from Grand Prairie !!

Comment by Navy Mom x3 on April 7, 2017 at 7:20pm: Hi, I'm Rachael from Bulverde, north of San Antonio. 2 of my sons are in the Navy, 1 in BC right now with a PIR of 4/14. So excited! My middle son has been in for 5 1/2 years and has been stationed in Hawaii since he finished Nuke school. I'm super proud of both boys and can't wait to see where the Navy takes them.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 27, 2017 at 3:24am: Hello. For all the folks with recruits at RTC, I just wanted to invite you to join the PIR Group on here that corresponds to your Recruits graduation date.

Here is a link to a Forum post that has links to the current PIR groups as well as some other great info:

Comment by kimberlya on March 26, 2017 at 4:43pm: Heath, Texas here!

My son goes to bc on April 25.

Comment by SandyB on March 20, 2017 at 9:26am: I hadn't heard from my son for about 4 weeks.   My first phone call came on a Saturday around 5:00 pm.   It was like i won the lottery.   All i could do was cry because it was so good to hear his voice.

The first weeks they are busy from sun up to sun down and exhausted. Studying, drilling, marching. Send him letters of encouragement.   I wrote my son every day.

When he graduates, is so well worth it.   Southwest Airlines has little to no change fee.

Comment by ShipShape27 on March 19, 2017 at 11:14pm: My son's PIR is April 21st. Ship 14 Div 128. I haven't received a phone call or letter (except for the "form" letter) yet, should I be concerned? I so would like to hear something, anything!
