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 Little Turtle...I am very nervous about using names here after the discussions I saw earlier today.  For now, just call my son, Nuke:)  I'm more afraid that I will slip up than anyone else.  I was surprised when my son knew so much about our conversations here.  I don't know what I would have done these past weeks without all of you.   

I can't wait to hear more about your son.  I hope we can meet in person at PIR.  Let's keep in touch:)

If you haven't you should look at all the material in the survival guide. It'll help you - really. The more you know, the better. Your son will be well taken care of. In no time, it will be PIR, then deployment and many leaves to come home to see you. My son has been in for 5 years. Seems like yesterday. You promise to read everything, now, OK?
