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."

KC'mom, I sent you a friend request. My son has been assigned to Aircrew. He graduates DLI this month. I just wanted to talk with someone who has been through this. He did not volunteer for this, but apparently if you are the top of the class in PT and language proficiency, you are chosen for it anyway. Thanks for any info on what to expect.

My son doesn't even tell people he is a CTI & asked me not to as well - I just say naval intelligence :-). By the way.... HE IS COMING UP FOR A VIST THIS WEEKEND!!! he dropped that bomb on me yesterday. Since I last saw him he has deployed to Middle East & returned AND received his aircrew "wings" ( apparently a big deal ) AND promoted from CTI-1 to CTI-2 :-). So much to congratulate him on!! Can't wait to see him!

I have a question for you senior NM's, my daughter is going to BC the end of this month, rated as CTI. I've read the OPSEC and PERSEC advice/rules and have tried to follow them even now, (no personal pics or names) but she herself hasn't read them, she's listed her "job" on fb as CTI in Navy. Should I explain the OPSEC and PERSEC to her now (probably won't work, very stubborn) or does the Navy do this in BC or at DLI? Do other CTI's not list their rating, do they not list their base/ship etc for security or do they? I haven't looked anyone up to find out. and thanks for all the advice, I'm really glad to have this site.

Just found out that my son's final will be next Tues/Weds (July 8&9). Only one thing I can do to help him right now....ask for prayers and good thoughts! He's worked so hard and I know he is so nervous! I'm sure that he will do good...but I'm probably just as nervous as him. He's scheduled to graduate on the 17th!

Yea its against the rules, she needs to stand up for herself and tell her roomate whats what and shes not putting up with it, she needs to have privacy to work and nor come home not knowing what to expect, Im sure there are cheap hotel rooms for that kind of "partying"

Roommate has a lot of class. Nice. Puts her in a very uncomfortable position - just plain rude.

Ok Ladies, here's a situation I haven't seen here yet! My daughter got a new roommate a couple months ago. As we were skyping last night, the roommate and her BF start going at it on the top bunk all in view of my daughter's laptop! She had her back to them as she was setting at her desk. When she saw our reaction, she turned around to see what was horrifying us and became embarrassed and moved position so that we wouldn't see them. She says that the BF is there all the time and obviously these two have no shame as far as making out in full view of any one in the room! I told her to nix it a.s.a.p. because if it makes her uncomfortable and interferes with her life, that is absolutely unacceptable!! What can she do to ensure her privacy and sanity??
