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 here to support my
Son/Daughter
Stage of (Sailor’s) Navy career?
Enlisted
When I heard “Navy,” I...
Needed to learn more about it
The Navy offers opportunities that...
He will be learning and serving with a purpose.
Our Navy experience so far...
It was positive and maturing. Our relationship has grown stronger.

 

Father, in the coming days, we will need you, but our  recruits will need You more!
Let them perform their tasks with a sense of duty, not of anger or vengeance.
Let their reflexes be quick and their hands steady. 
Let their heads be clear and their eyes sharp. 
Let their minds and bodies be strong and their spirits strong.


God, please stand by our recruits and watch their  backs when they cannot!
Father, we love our recruits!  Take from US; what they need and give us
what they do not. 

We will pace the nights, if it means they get some sleep. 
We will deal with fatigue, if it means they have energy. 
We will carry their fear, if it means it gives them courage. 
We will take their pain, if it means their  healthy and whole. 
We will take their anger, if it means they are at peace.
Take our  love and pride and let them feel it! 
Let them know that we are with them every step of the way!
Please, take from us what You can; We give it willingly and with love. 
It is all we have besides our  prayers.
Above all, please help our recruits to achieve their goals of becoming.... 
United States Sailors!

This I ask on bended knee, that which we cannot do without YOU.

Well, He did it!  My son has officially signed up  with the United States Navy and I  need  any and all information anyone would like to share about their experience or more importantly anyone that is involved with the title and description of AIRC.  This may be premature but im finding the more informed I am, the better I feel about the process. 

 

Thank you in advance for your time!

Yes. I have been learning so much in the past couple of days about what they are doing and how things work at boot camp. Have you been on the "PIR 8/31/2012" Facebook page?  Very informative. Like you, the more informed I am, the better I feel.
