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 corpsmanwifeschu on December 21, 2011 at 11:09pm: My hubby starts in January too. Just visited him the other week. Wish I could've stayed longer. I can't wait to make San Diego my home, but I still have to wait until May.

Comment by Dsmom(ship02/div925) on December 15, 2011 at 3:47pm: Hello, my son graduated today!! I was not able to attend so was wondering if anyone who was there took pics and can you upload them?? He will be stationed at 29 Palms after. Anyone else have a sailor/marine going to 29 Palms?

Comment by IDCmom#1 on December 15, 2011 at 3:32pm: Graduation was great, other than they were missing a page of names in their program and the company leadership listed was for the last class not ours. Met some nice young men. Hunted down Gloria and she talks faster than I can think. What a handsome son she has..

Comment by Lida on December 15, 2011 at 6:16am: We had an awesome visit with our sailor over the weekend. Sad that we could not stay for his b-day and graduation. Prayers and congrats for today's graduates and their families.

Comment by IDCmom#1 on December 13, 2011 at 9:58pm: Graduation update. Guys have to be in formation at 0945.

Comment by IDCmom#1 on December 13, 2011 at 6:13pm: Heard graduation is at 10:00 am.

Comment by IDCmom#1 on December 12, 2011 at 6:45pm: It is just a big open asphalt space with bleachers set up. I don't think they expect as many family members as they do after boot camp. Ooh, makes me shiver to think of waiting in the cold to go through that one building at Great Lakes just to go across the street to another building. Seems my son likes to graduate from things in December.

Comment by vettespace on December 12, 2011 at 6:35pm: Cali-Mom, when my son graduated at CP there was no limit to the number of attendees and no advance list was required. Just drive to the main gate and they'll point you in the right direction!

Comment by Cali-Mom (Beagles) on December 12, 2011 at 5:42pm: Thank you docsmom. Do you know if there is a limit of who can attend? He did not ask for a list like they did for PIR, so I was wondering if anyone can attend and if we had to give a list of names of attendees. Any info would be appreciated.
