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."

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2010 at 9:40am: DadlnValley: What a wonderful Christmas gift for each of you! I bet no present could replace a personal letter from him!

Deb: My son LOVED the food at bc. He is a healthy eater when given a choice. Loves veggies, etc...they feed them well there! Even in the galley where he is stationed, he said the food is good.

Comment by ChrisNukeEMmom on December 28, 2010 at 9:39am: What is significant to me about that is that Grad and Go recruits are those STAYING at Great Lakes for A school. My impression is that all recruits whose A school is somewhere other than Great Lakes are not considered Grad and Go.

Comment by diannep on December 28, 2010 at 9:37am: Laura grumpy: The "embarrassment" the RDC's express to them is all motivational to get them to perform better...and they will!

Comment by ChrisNukeEMmom on December 28, 2010 at 9:36am: Just wanted to pass along some info. This is from the facebook page for the Recruit Training Center so I'm assuming they know what they're talking about:)

"Grad & Go recruits are those recruits who will be checking into their A School at Great Lakes right after graduation on Friday. That process can take up
to five hours. Once they finish checking in, they will find out if they
are granted overnight leave or not for the remainder of the weekend."

Comment by smithsixstring on December 28, 2010 at 2:17am: Got another letter from our son today. He says everyone in Div 053 & 054 is grad & go. Hope everyone is doing good today. God Bless you all! I look forward to reading all the latest news about your children.

Comment by Laura (SHIP07 DIV056) on December 28, 2010 at 1:48am: hello everyone im still waiting for the call hopefully tomorrow i did received mail he mentions the instructors were embarrassed of how bad they are doing :(

Comment by AlishaNicole SHP11DIV54 on December 28, 2010 at 1:30am: Same here Karen.

Comment by Karen Shp 11 Div 053 on December 28, 2010 at 12:51am: My daughter is leaving for Pensacola on Saturday. We are going to meet her at airport. She ask that we bring her cell phone.

Comment by Tricia_Stennis Crash and salvage on December 27, 2010 at 11:51pm: Correction **could** change. Meaning a possibility of change but rare.

Comment by Tricia_Stennis Crash and salvage on December 27, 2010 at 11:48pm: bls-my hubby is also headed to Pensacola and last I heard he was leaving on the 2nd as well. But I do know they meet with the classifier at some point through BC. So things might change...
