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."

Hi folks- im a mom from ship 3 div 114.  you all are apparently our sister/brother division and its likely our divisions will go to Battlestations together.  so if any one gets any info can you let us at div 114 know? thank you! our SRs are AWESOME!

Denise PM Me since I can not post the date

Ok so it seems more are going to Sarges then Ramada

hi ,have you got a phone calls

I got the midway call a couple of weeks ago. Not expecting the I'm a Sailor call till next week since they do not PIR until 4/6. Have you heard anything williamsmadeline? I think just the divisions who PIR this Friday will get the I'm a Sailor call this week.

Ok...moment of panic here!  Anyone that can point me in the right direction?  How do i get in touch with someone on the base to discuss my name change issues.  Recent divorce, went back to maiden name, current driver's license will not be in my hands by the time i leave!!!!!  I have all documentation to show/prove who i am, I just won't have my stinkin' driver's license back yet.  I have GOT to get this snag ironed out before I get there or else all of you will see one hysterically crying fat woman sitting by the gates of the base!

I would follow this link:  http://www1.netc.navy.mil/nstc/cx/contactXC.asp?1-21r

It says: For personal and family related issues, graduation or gate passes, please email RTC by selecting any of the BLUE items from the drop-down list on our Contact Form.

There is a selection for "Identification Required for Gradutaion"

 

and here is a number

Phone:   Public Affairs Office 847-688-2405

 

I hope this helps!

 

Rebecca thanks so much for your quick response! And Christina don't worry, first I don't think it will be a problem just bring other info like passport or birth certificate. I'm sure your not the only one to be going through that. Second you won't be the only fat lady sitting by the gates crying. I'll be lucky if I make it out of the car before I start. And third we at Ship3 Division 113 stick together, we will get you in LOL! Good luck and let us know how you make out

Ha!  Beat ya to it...sitting here reading this post and i'm misty-eyed!  I'll definitely keep everyone posted...that's for sure!  Thanks for being here...it means (and helps) a lot ;)

Yay!!  Thank you SO much becca!  That helped a ton.  Calling right away :)

YAYYY!!!!  I just got a letter from my SR....bless that child!  We must be on the same mental wave link or something because she tells me that she listed me on the guest list under the old name, which i still have valid ID for!  She had me previously listed under the new name bacuse she new the divorce would be final by the time she graduated.  Even if she puts me under the new name, the Public Affairs office told me to bring all of my paperwork and it shouldn't be an issue.  HUGE stress just lifted off of me.  Whew!

Oh...she also says their division passed test two and personal inspections :)  I'm so stinking proud of each and every one of them!

Yeah Christina. I usually get like 2 or 3 on Thursday but did not get any today. And now I see people with our PIR date but different Ship/Div are getting their calls. I'm happy for them but sad for us
