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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 24, 2012 at 1:08am: thanks FTLW, yes it was sick but a dr appointment and $120 bucks fixed it right up, it had a break problem too :(

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 24, 2012 at 12:14am: CODE BLUE!!

Comment by asterzmom(ship03-div117) on February 23, 2012 at 11:27pm: Thank you FTLW. :)

Trust me my cell is my BFF, this afternoon it almost died on me before I got home and all I could think is "OMG NOOO, please don't quit on me now!!!" LOL

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 23, 2012 at 11:25pm: LA LA! We missed you!
Uh oh...did your truck get sick?!

Comment by ilovemyabh on February 23, 2012 at 11:24pm: No form letter yet:/ still waiting. Everyday I feel like I'm going to beat up the poor mail guy because I want nothing more then that formal letter! I just want a few words from him! Anyone else have a loved one who got there on Feb 15th and has their PIR date yet? Ah this is driving me nuts! Last week Zach(my SR) had a card written out before he left and had his mom mail it the day he left so that I was already getting mail on Friday... Such a sweet guy<3 and every other day Ive been getting note cards from him that he gave me that have sweet notes of encouragement! (:

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 23, 2012 at 11:09pm: IF ...they need to call home it will usually be within the first two weeks after they arrive. Not all call...not all call in that time frame. Just what we "commonly"see.
While in BC...your cell phone will be your new BFF!!
Mine needed additional contacts for background checks...it could vary.
Rating is their "Occupational Speciality"...job.

Comment by asterzmom(ship03-div117) on February 23, 2012 at 11:02pm: Hi my daughter is in ship 3 / division 117 and I also got her form letter today. She wrote a very short note on the back and at the end she asked for pictures (I thought it was funny because the day she left she told me no "pics mom") . I write her everyday even if I don't have much to say I also included a couple of pictures in everyone of them. We already booked our hotel rooms for PIR at the Quality Inn.

FireTeamLeaderWife my daughter will have a job with a security clearance required. Will the call be a week or two before PIR or from now? Do you know what kind of info might be needed? So I can make sure that I have it with me in case I should be at work (I work different shifts sometimes). Also can you explain to me what it means when everybody say a rating?

spring932 I hope you recieve your letter tomorrow.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on February 23, 2012 at 11:01pm: Sorry I was MIA today, I was busy busy busy, so much to do, and it didn't help that my teen son put break fluid in the power steering container in the truck uggggg. '

Very happy for letters for you today :-)

Comment by spring932 on February 23, 2012 at 10:48pm: I saw via the RTC facebook page that GL got SNOW....... Hope my SR was prepared for it!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 23, 2012 at 10:19pm: Those SR's who will be going into a rating with a security clearance required may call home within the 10-14 days for information to be faxed or given over the phone. This is a business call and will be short, monitored and to the point. Usually no chat time. On rare occasions the person monitoring has allowed it...the key word is ...rare.
When I r'cd this call...the caller ID was "US GOVERNMENT".
The area code for GL is "847". We have also heard of some seeing "PAY PHONE".
