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 KC'smom on July 7, 2011 at 9:23am: Can't wait for my son to get there (Monterey). He should have been there by now but is still waiting for his fractured foot to heal.

Comment by florida_girl ship 3/div 235 on July 6, 2011 at 12:03am: this is the right group =) I just joined it a few weeks ago and the ladies are very helpful! I hope everyone had a blessed 4th!

Comment by Olivezick on July 5, 2011 at 4:13pm: Just saw and read the About.com article that Dee references above in the Discussion Forum. Thank you for posting that, lots of good information.

Comment by Olivezick on July 5, 2011 at 4:04pm: Hello, my son is graduating from boot camp this Friday, and set to fly out to (or is that "ship out to"?) Monterey to begin his training to become a CTI. I would like to find out what he will be doing his first week or so, when he gets weekend liberty, etc (don't even know what language he will be studying yet)....is this the right group to ask that information, or is there another group I should join, but haven't found? Thanks!

Comment by KC'smom on July 1, 2011 at 4:29pm: @Dee- I also have 2 A.A. degress!! Not fair, couldn't we just combine our 2 degrees and make it a 4 yr degree? hahaahaha.

Comment by Terry on June 27, 2011 at 9:26am: Looking forward to being there for evwerything. I'll just have to remember to be patient and wait for the details. I'm just too anxious to know!

Thanks for all the comments.

Comment by Terry on June 27, 2011 at 8:38am: Dee, thanks for all the info!

Comment by KC'smom on June 26, 2011 at 11:09pm: Question: if my son already has completed 2 years at a Univ., could he end up with a B.A. degree after the school?

Comment by Terry on June 26, 2011 at 10:43pm: Dee, when will we get more details about it? We are going to be there, wouldn't miss it for the world. RTC was impressive, can't wait for this next one.
