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."

SHIP 12 DIV 306 GRADUATION SEPT 21. Anyone else?

Hi There,

I enjoy this site very much. Has helped me this week big time! I'm having trouble finding a group who's kids reported July 30th. My son arrived Monday, I got "THE CALL", I got "THE BOX" but I thought I'd have his address by now. I was hoping to chat w/ others who's kids are at the same level/report day as my son Zach.

Comment by zachsmomct on August 7, 2012 at 12:55am: Yea I hear ya on the written part. The Blue Book? Zach had started shutting me out of a lot of things in his life a couple years ago. It wasn't until just this past May we really got back into each others lives. So I really didn't get much from him as far as information goes. I hope boot camp helps him realize how much his family loves him, and need him in our lives. Been a tough couple years here for us. But his decision to go into the service was a huge step in the right direction for him. Let's keep in touch!! I have tto try and sleep now. Have a good night!!

Comment by mockleboxmom on August 7, 2012 at 10:02am: Hi my son is also ship 12 div 305 and will be going to pensacola for A school, his name is Zach too!!

Comment by RoseRed Ship 12 Div 306 on August 7, 2012 at 12:35pm: My son left on July 26th but is also headed to Pensacola, PIR might have to do with departure to "A" school. If the date is on the letter, it is correct. My son is Ship 12 Div 306.

Comment by mikeysmom /USS GW on August 7, 2012 at 4:00pm: It sounds like some of the SR's got there 4 days early and I wonder if they had to 'sit" and wait for the rest or are the ones that got there on the 30th getting out early???
