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 From WA: NOP Leanne on March 7, 2012 at 2:55pm: I can confirm what Clangsto said- Heard for SR Monday am for another security check he needed an address and phone number. He also said they had been able to write on Sunday so to expect mail in a few days. Tuesday was 2-1. He also said he had been receiving mail we had sent. SR is 04-119.

Comment by NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on March 7, 2012 at 1:54pm: PS: Bobs Mom - My name is Pat

Comment by NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on March 7, 2012 at 1:54pm: Bobs mom - we have to keep laughing! I've done enough crying the past few weeks.

Comment by diannep on March 7, 2012 at 1:30pm: Thanks so much, spring, for adding the "carpool" discussion above. Ladies, check it out if you need to arrange "rides" from the airport!

On ordering pictures, you can order more at the NEX after PIR if you want more. I believe you can order more up until a year after PIR? Anyway, here is the Photo Lab number if you have questions:

847-578-6205

Here is the link to Captains Cup, which will be happening this week for your PIR group!

Comment by Bob's mom on March 7, 2012 at 1:05pm: Dear "crazed mother" and "poor pitiful mother",

Thank you for making me smile today!

Your friend,

Mother who never used to check the mail daily

Comment by NJ Navy Mom Ship 03 Div 115 on March 7, 2012 at 12:56pm: clangsto - Thank you sooo much. It was so thoughtful of you to post this. I've been nuts watching for the Mailman! And I just took an early lunch from work to yell at the people at Verizon because my cell phone was acting up. I guess they realized they had a woman on the edge of the ledge so they are sending me a new phone and even gave me a loaner!! Helps to look crazed I guess. : )

Comment by beccasusan26 on March 7, 2012 at 12:15pm: Thank you everyone! You all have been so helpful and have been making this so much easier for me - so far I think I have something figured out but if it falls through I will go up to the group discussion. :)

Comment by spring932 on March 7, 2012 at 12:02pm: Airport Carpool Discussion has been added!

Comment by Teach on March 7, 2012 at 11:44am: @ Clangsto - Thank you so much. I am thrilled to know that they are getting our mail an there is at least the possibility that he chose to write to his poor, pitiful mother this week!

Comment by Clangsto on March 7, 2012 at 11:22am: For the Moms in PIR 4/13, I have had 2 phone calls from my SR (Sip 4, Div 119). One last week on Wednesday and again today. His first words when I answered the phone "This is not a social call". He needed information for background check. He said no one else in his division has been able to make calls. They did get to write letters on Sunday and we all should be getting them today or tomorrow. He said they have been getting mail. Thought this might ease some minds and brighten your days.
