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."

Haven't found many folks with SRs in this same group as my son.  Thought I'd try a new discussion?  I know 266 is brother div. with 265.  There must be a bunch of ya's out there! 

Hi!  I'm Becky from NH!

Can you give me the full name of the navy lodge?  Thanks

 

That is the name, Navy Lodge.  I have their 800 number at home, unfortunately I'm at work.  But I can give it to you later.  We stayed there the first time we went up there.  Nice place, freindly staff and the taxi services in town will come there to pick up families to take them to the graduation if you call them, also they'll all be lined up at the front gate of the bc grounds waiting for families to hopefully pick them to take them back to their hotels.

Thanks so much for the info! I got the number online and  I booked our stay at Navy Lodge last night.  My husband is ex-Army and we use to stay at military hotels when we moved around, but I completely forgot about checking into them until you said something on here.  One thing I remember is that they were always pretty clean.  Thanks again!

My daughter in in Div 265

Hi meekinn my future son in law is also in ship 9 div 266 glad you are here.  . Have you received any letter other than the form letter.

Im lost here..... How do I add friends?  When they are talking about buying ribbons, what does that mean?  My son has mentioned 3 friends he has made in his first letter, Id like to find out if those guys MOMS are on this site.

My son is in ship 9 Div 265. Got the 1st letter from my SR but he never mentioned any names.

PM me as we are not to say last names on here.  I have only recieved the offical letter with him writting a little on the back of it.  Trying to be patient about receiving a real letter.  I try to write something to him everyday.

I requested you as a friend. Do you need to accept me to PM you. I have no clue. I am being self trained.:)

You need to Accept the person as your friend if they send a request if you want to receive messages from them or your post will be on this wall for everyone to see.

When we went to my oldest son's PIR only my husband and I got to go.  This time my youngest son has invited my husband, myself, his brother and his uncle.  What are the chances that his brother's girlfriend can get in to PIR too?  Has anyone had this experience before and was your extra family member or friend able to get in?

I would like to know if theres a way to get a fifth person in as well
