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."

My son is CTI and is currently at Great Lakes with a projected PIR of 6/21...

Thank you @lovemynavydaughter  Please keep us updated. I am so hoping we are able to visit before too long.  Hope all is well with your daughter. Congrats.

Our daughter just graduated last Friday and left the following morning for CA. She doesn't actually start her classes at DLI for a few weeks. Her chief at boot camp advised her to spend some of that time looking up whatever she could on her assigned language and what's going on in that part of the world. So I'd say being on top of current world events would be a good thing for your son to start from the get go.

I remember my CTI was able to get leave for both Christmas seasons she spent there. First one she had been there 5 months second 17 months right before DLPT. So stressful.

Since classes are out they seem more liberal with the leave

Comment by mkl7993 on December 16, 2018 at 6:46pm

Yes. A lot leave for the holidays. 

Comment by Deequilter on December 16, 2018 at 5:08pm

When you say shut down, do you mean their classes?
