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 Beth on May 21, 2014 at 6:21am: We're all in this together, Moms. Watching our children transform. Our daughters will rally from exhaustion and be amazingly strong women in the end.

Comment by Precious2tb on May 19, 2014 at 9:21pm: I truly understand about waiting for the first letter which is the form letter. You will hear from her soon! So be encouraged

Comment by Jpbally on May 19, 2014 at 3:48pm: My daughter left last week on Wednesday. Waiting for our first letter. Miss her!

Comment by Precious2tb on May 17, 2014 at 12:53am: I can hardly wait for the PIR on 6/27. I'm anxious to see the transformation take place in my SR!

Comment by Beth on May 16, 2014 at 8:38pm: My daughter just left two days ago and I'm anxious to get her address. Can't wait to reconnect again.

Comment by Precious2tb on May 15, 2014 at 9:56pm: Hello,
I'm Alicia and my daughter is at RTC now. Her PIR is 06/27

Comment by abbi'smom on April 20, 2014 at 8:14pm: Missed my daughter's call today :( but she did get to talk to her boyfriend that missed her call last week lol. I am so excited for her. When I talked to her last saturday she said how happy she was and that she received athletic petty officer for her divison. She also passed level 2 swimming cert so that she can qualify for air search and rescue. Although she is going to be hosptial corpsman she really wants the search and rescue. She has been a swimmer all of her life :) I am just so proud that she is doing what is making her happy. Any other moms with girls at RTC right now?

Comment by proud mom of Kayla on April 15, 2014 at 9:47pm: My daughter graduated bootcamp the day before thankagiving. She has been in Pensacola since December in A school. She graduates in May and got her orders yesterday. She will be stationed in Gulfport, MS with the sea bee detactment. Her rate is IT. I'm so happy because she will only be 6 hours away. A he's a little bummed that she isn't getting out of the south but I hope she likes it there!

Comment by navybratsmom on April 15, 2014 at 8:42pm: My daughter left April 8th from Texas. Just received her box last night. No letter yet. From what I hear from others who left on April 8th, the graduation date is June 6th.
