OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 KC'smom on July 25, 2011 at 9:38am: Dee- you mentioned your son will be going out on a submarine??? My son is to go to Georgia for 3 years after Monterey. Do the sub or ship duties come after the 3 years? (dear God, please say yes). Or do they go out during the 3 year term at Georgia?
In case no one remembers me, my son would have been in Monterey already, but broke is foot in boot camp - he is back in a new division now and graduates in a few days. Interesting fact- his new RDC is a CTI!!! I wonder what made him decide to become an RDC.

Comment by momKdiv938-daughterK on July 24, 2011 at 12:53am: My daughter PIR 8/5/11, would anyone know when she starts CTI training?

Comment by Terry on July 23, 2011 at 1:29am: This is our last night in Monterey. We attended our son's graduation yesterday from DLI and I couldn't be prouder of him if I tried. I can also tell that he is proud of himself too for all that he has accomplished in the short 18 months he's been here. We met several of his friends and it was impressive to hear them speaking in such a foreign language with very little effort. This has been a great learning experience for him, but the learning is far from over.

Not looking forward to heading back to 100+ degree weather on the east coast. The average while we were here has been around 68! Beautiful place.

Comment by Olivezick on July 20, 2011 at 11:05am: NYRican---No, not the same guy. I believe my son was a RPOC in division 934 and worked as ship staff for sentry duty, and was head of ship staff at one point, but was not the RPOC sailor introduced at the graduation. He will be getting a new roommate soon, as his current one is to leave soon to live in married housing. And, yes, my son is also so pumped to be where he is!

Comment by NYRican924 on July 19, 2011 at 1:17am: @ olivezick, was ur son the RPOC for his Division? My son said that his RPOC at GL is his roommate, from Louisiana. Just wondering. He says his roomy is cool and he is already telling me that he will take leave as soon as possible to come get his car. He is just loving the Navy but most of all being as far away from GL as possible :)

Comment by Smom on July 17, 2011 at 10:12pm: My son's PIR is 8/12 and I was wondering if I should bring his laptop to him. Does anyone know if he can bring it to DLI or does he need to phase up first?

Comment by mermur on July 17, 2011 at 11:44am: Cannonpark - the amount of info on this site is amazing, left by previous folks. hotels, restaurants, what to do where to go, etc. On a good note - we were able to book a flight to Monterey at a reasonable price.

Comment by Cannonpark03/Div 152 PIR 4/29/11 on July 16, 2011 at 11:23pm: mermur~ my son classed up this past week and we are trying to get him home over Labor Day to attend a wedding! I would be interested to hear about your visit...it will be awhile before I can plan a trip out to Monterey.

Comment by mermur on July 16, 2011 at 7:52pm: Got my tickets to see my daughter over Labor day weekend !! - she just classed up this week, so excited for her but I really need to thank you all so much for the info on this site (Dee, you are the Super NAVY MOM! ).
