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 Navymom1021 on October 24, 2014 at 10:52pm: Hi my son also left 10/21/2014. I was wondering the same thing. How did you find out what ship and division? Thanks

Comment by Raina on October 24, 2014 at 11:09pm: Hi! My son shipped out on 10/21/14, too. Wondering how you found out your son's ship information? As for Christmas, my son was originally supposed to ship on the 28th which I believe would have had him graduating 12/26. The recruiter said that the change in his ship date was to not interfere with Christmas. As far as I know, they should be getting out 12/19.

You didn't get "the box" yet, did you?

Get back to me when you can... I'll be sure to let you know if our sons are in the same division :-)

Comment by lemonelephant on October 24, 2014 at 11:21pm: There is no PIR on 12/19/2014 or 12/26/2014. Those who shipped this week should be in Push Divisions and should have PIR on 12/12/2014.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 24, 2014 at 11:24pm: Christmas will not have any affect on PIR since your recruits will graduate ahead of it. Your recruits will check into the "A" School or training location and MAY be able to put in a chit to have Leave for sometime over the holiday stand down for the "A" Schools--it may or may not include Christmas Day; not all "A" Schools let the new Sailors take leave during the stand down.

Comment by lemonelephant on October 24, 2014 at 11:27pm: Raina, I left info for you on your My Page.

Recruiter gave me his address yesterday and I also received the box yesterday.

Comment by Raina on October 25, 2014 at 11:33am: Thanks, Sportsmom. I imagine his things should be arriving soon then :-) ttyl

Comment by sportsmomof2 on October 26, 2014 at 3:14pm: SpunkyAlexis, do you know your husband's ship and division number yet?

Comment by Navymom1021 on October 27, 2014 at 1:04pm: Hi Guys, I received his box today, but no letter yet to find out division and ship number. I assume that it will come some time this week. :)
