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 Momsy on May 23, 2019 at 7:30pm: My son is CTI and is currently at Great Lakes with a projected PIR of 6/21...

Comment by SoSi on March 15, 2019 at 8:45pm: 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.

Comment by LoveMyNavyDaughter on March 8, 2019 at 9:43am: 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.

Comment by SoSi on March 7, 2019 at 9:58pm: My son signed CTI today ... any tips appreciated.
