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."

Thank you for the add. I am new here and know so little about well everything. Lol. My question is if my son went to boot camp on May 8, 2018 when will his graduation be? I'm sure I will have about 9,000 more questions so I apologize in advance.

Thank you so so much ch for your uplifting message! I did receive a call from him today (I’m a nurse in dialysis and hours are CRAZY and I knew I was going to get a call, mommy instinct, I left my Apple Watch at home and I be darn he called and I messed the call! I quickly called my husband and told him he called and that I missed and I cried!!! Then he said babe I talked to him. OMG! Is he ok? How did he sound? Did you tell him we miss him we love him? My husband said he said I failed my PFT test and I will call you later regarding my plans for returning home! I was truly heartbroken but so happy my husband was able to take his call. Now I’m like really? Ugh!!! I have family in other branch of the military and they are like if he tell them he wants s and that he can do this they will work with him.. do you know anything about this! Heart broken and confused. He passed the run test before going to BC. It’s just so much. 

Sorry to see that. Perhaps there is a difference in how he was tested before shipping and how they are tested at the RTC.

There is info in Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) and Fitness Improvement Training ... for you.
