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 proud2baNavyMom on August 24, 2011 at 9:00pm: Welcome to all the new moms glad to have you check the discussions for your SR Ship/DIV if you do not see one then please go ahead and start one

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 24, 2011 at 8:56pm: Margie your younger girls are not the only ones doing that with the empty room mine are too. And she wants to paint it and change things around.

Comment by proud2baNavyMom on August 24, 2011 at 8:52pm: Got letter today as well, Ship 4 DIV 342 woo hoo.

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 8:48pm: If any of you are still posting on BootCamp Moms, please put the link to this group on there so others can find it. Check the discussion groups too because some ladies start discussions for their divisions up there instead of here. Direct them over here!

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 8:45pm: Lala: Install a "Murphy bed" and you can have your guest room...AND....craft room!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 24, 2011 at 8:34pm: My Sailors are preparing for their first real hurricane experience. Please keep all our Sailors and everyone else along the East Coast in your prayers as Hurricane Irene hits this weekend. Thanks

Comment by TexasSailorMom on August 24, 2011 at 8:08pm: oh yeah, as for the Meet n Greet, the Ramada Inn Waukegan hosts one the night b4 every PIR and it is open to all the navy family and friends, u don't have to stay at their hotel, it's for everyone. As for the A schools, your SR's will be going all over depending on their job, even from the same div, they will not all have the same A school.

Comment by juliem on August 24, 2011 at 8:08pm: Thanks Margie for the heads up on the Facebook for 04/820's!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 24, 2011 at 7:43pm: I had no idea you could cut a box spring in half, learn something new every day lol. All I can say is my house is a very small 3 bedroom. We have 2 kids left at home and both are seniors this year. One is going to the Navy and one is going to college. I will keep one of their rooms as a guest room but one of them will VERY quickly become my craft room. I NEED my own space to make ribbons and scrapbook embellishments. Maybe I could win the lottery and finish the basement lol.

Diane that was pretty quick for the form letter. Mine took almost 2 weeks. I actually had a real letter from her the day the form letter arrived. But she was in a push division and her first Monday there was a real Holiday so they got to write letters :-) I would think you all should have the form letters within the next few days.

Comment by TexasSailorMom on August 24, 2011 at 7:33pm: Hi everyone, my son PIR'd from an 800 div back in April. It helps to start discussions for each ship/div so you can get to know the others directly living and training with ur SR's. Anyone can start the discussion for the ship/div. just click ADD a Discussion right under the battlestations discussion above. Hang in there and always remember... no news is good news!
