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."

Just looking at numbers on the comments here and realized these kids left 9/11 with PIR 11/9. That's kinda neat! =)

I haven't gotten my letter yet.  I'm prayerful that her date will be 11/9 since I have already taken that day off but my job is pretty flexible either way.  I'm calling the recruiter during my lunch hour.

Hi - welcome; we accept everyone :-)  They do have a group for fiances/girlfriends and other concerned relatives.  I don't know the name but I know there's one out here.  Hopefully you'll hear from him soon.

My daughter left on 9-11 from Boise, ID.   We already received her box of items and today received the form letter.  I was so excited to see something from her however there was nothing personal in it.  Her graduation date is 11-9.

I still haven't received the form letter, however, her recruiting officer gave me her address and PIR of 11/9.  She's Div 368 Ship 14.
