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."

Greetings March Ship date Moms!  Looks like we have a date to look forward to.  If all goes as planned, our recruits will graduate on May 27, 2011.  My son is in Ship 11/Division 180.  I have received the box and now I have his address, so mail is on its way to him.  Please post when you can and I look forward to seeing all of you in Great Lakes on the new Holiday, 5/27/2011.

Click ENTER, click RECRUIT GRADS, scroll down to "order form"...phone numbers are on the form if you have questions.

Sorry for the delay in my response...I just got home.  Yes, my recruit's PIR is 5/26. Ship 11 Division 179.  Thanks for info for t-shirts/hoodies:)

candmshy   here is the link to your PIR group http://www.navyformoms.com/group/p

 

lots of info there as well as support.

Do you have any idea what day they do Battle Stations?  I got a letter today from my daughter but she didn't say which day it was happening.
forgot to mention she grads next Thurs.  So how many days before grad is BS?
Tripoli, BS for 179/180 is tonight!!  Light your blue candle for your daughter because she will be a sailor tomorrow if she is in one of those divisions.  Otherwise, it could be tomorrow night or Sunday night.  Diannep started a Battlestations discussion that lists all the divisions graduating 5/26 and their BS dates.
I'm kinda new at these discussion boards.  How do I find Diannep?????
Tripoli, go the main PIR 5/26 group site.  you will see a list of discussions like 11/180, etc.  If you click view all, you will see Battlestations.  Go there or you can contact Diannep by posting a note to her on the PIR 5/26 group.  Hope that helps.
My daughter called me today, so I found out.  Based on some prior postings, guess I can't say what day, but obviously not too many days left to choose and we already know who is on Tuesday! ha!  Thanks so much!
