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."

Left for RTC on November 12

My son left on November 12. Got my call that night. Does anyone know what their schedule is like? Any information would be great. Missing him like crazy. Been through many deployments with my active duty Army husband. Youngest son is a Marine. Now my middle son is on his way to becoming a sailor!

I would love to see the video. Would you be able to send it by email? Tklyap@gmail.com. I'm also dreading the holidays without him. All I need is a graduation date and I'll start planning our trip for graduation! Can't wait

My son left on the 11/12 too and he is the baby! Kind of hard knowing this will be the first Christmas without the whole family! Their graduation date should be 1/9/15

I know what you mean, dreading the holidays with him gone. He is my 2nd of 3 sons. My youngest son is a Marine. It doesn't get any easier I'm afraid. Thankfully my youngest child (daughter) is just 16, so I still have one left at home.
