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."

I am hoping to connect with moms who have a son or daughter who arrived at bootcamp on
December 4th. I received the I arrived at camp safely call so far and she said I would get another call in about two weeks. I'm new to this site and am still trying to navigate and get as much information as possible and missing her terribly. I can't wait to get a letter so I can write. Just hoping to connect with someone espically with the holidays coming and her birthday as well, not being able to share that with her is so much harder then I ever anticipated.

So you know his ship and div?

My son has the same PIR. you need to join this group..... http://navyformoms.com/group/pir01312014

I understand.  My SR reported the same day.  I am familiar with the Navy life from previous marriage, BUT nothing prepared me for this.  I found some interesting things on here and some of the ideas are helping me get through.

My son arrived on 12/4/13, got his letter today PIR 1/31/14, Ship-11, Div 078.

My Daughter arrived there on Dec 4th

Anyone have their sailor with Ship 11 div 077?? lets connect

Join PIR 01/31/2014 TG 12 to connect with others with loved ones training with your SR.  Divisions 077 and 078 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.  There will later be a a discussion within that group for the two divisions.
