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 wicklax28 on June 22, 2013 at 9:36am: I got my sons letter a few days after I got his clothes. My son left June 3rd and his graduation is 7/26 so your husbands graduation should be the following week. The letter will tell you how to get the car pass on line but you can only print it out up to 11 days before graduation. This website is a great place for information. Just click around and you will find most answers to questions you have.

Comment by lemonelephant on June 22, 2013 at 7:26pm: You will be receiving the form letter soon with his PIR date, address, and the password to download the vehicle/gate pass 11 days before PIR. The form letter usually arrives within 2 weeks after arrival. Be encouraging and believe that he will have PIR on time as scheduled once you get the PIR date.

Join the group, DEP-Leavin for bootcamp in June, to connect with others with loved ones who left the same day and may have PIR together.

You may want to join, or at least check out, Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones), PIR Reference Information, and New Members Stop Here. Once you know your SR’s PIR date and/or division number, watch in Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) and/or at http://www.navyformoms.com/forum/topics/groups-listed-by-pir-date and join the group for that once it has been created. There will be a lot of great information and support for you in those groups. Be sure to check out the Pages (found under the pictures of the Members) and Discussions within the groups. Arrival and What Happens at the RTC within Boot Camp Moms (and loved ones) will let you know what is happening and When Will the Recruits be Paid? and Information for Spouses will have information that will be of interest to you, but you will also want to check out the other Pages in all of the groups.

You may also want to join Girlfriends, Fiances,and Wives of Sailors.

Be sure to let his mom know about this site and the groups as well.

Comment by Jessmgg on June 24, 2013 at 3:27am: My sailor left taht day too, but i havent recive anything, im worry about it,

Comment by Angelina on June 24, 2013 at 10:10am: @jess I just got his phone call Saturday and his clothes came in two weeks ago do you think he may have sent them to his mothers or anything? My sailor told me they weren't able to send mail until Monday (June 24 today) and they passed out mail as of yesterday (Sunday) :(

Comment by Jessmgg on June 24, 2013 at 3:26pm: I already recive his clothes but no letter with information yet :/ do you recive the forms an all of that for the id , your id ,

Comment by Jessmgg on June 24, 2013 at 3:27pm: I dont have his adress , or anything so do you already send to him letters?

Comment by Angelina on June 24, 2013 at 3:37pm: No I got that this past sat so you should be getting it here soon!! What division is he??

Comment by Angelina on June 24, 2013 at 3:38pm: I got his address from his recruiter by calling a gagillion times and seeing if he knew it already. Which he did and they just started passing out mail sun so none of my letters were given to him until yesterday:/

Comment by lemonelephant on June 24, 2013 at 9:53pm: Angelina, he would not have mail call on Sunday. That would have been the first time he would have had holiday routine and been able to write to you, but it was not a day for him to receive mail. If the RMPO has been trained, then he may have had Mail Call this evening so letters mailed before you received the form letter did not get to him any faster than the letters you have mailed since you have received it.
