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."

You've joined PIR 06/06/2014 TG 30. Others will join you there.Divisions 189 and 190 are brother divisions and train together and will have Battle Stations-21 (BST) together, so look for others with loved ones in either division.  There will later be a discussion within that group for the two divisions.

My boyfriend, Matt, is in the same division! We'll keep in touch :)

Awesome Stephanie_76  I will send you a friends request. Have you gotten a letter from him yet?

Comment by Stephanie_76 on April 21, 2014 at 7:27pm

Only the letter telling me his address and division.  I had a short call with him on Saturday and he said he had received one of the letters that I wrote him and it helped him get through his day.  He asked for the letters to keep coming because they really help.  I have been trying to mail one almost everyday.  He did say that he was going to be able to write on Sunday so I am hoping to receive a letter from him this week!

I hope you got your letter.... If not I bet soon. Hang in there!
