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 JWAK2008 on July 29, 2018 at 2:32pm: Jmcserz my son had PIR 11/22; I personally had a carryon bag with his civilian clothes and his book bag with lap tops cell phone charges etc .. he had no issues carrying it as a matter of fact I was not the only parent with bags at airport for my SR; and he was happy to have his civilian clothes handy when he was able to use them he didn’t had to wait for me to mail them or spend money buying new ones

Comment by mkl7993 on July 26, 2018 at 10:16pm: Greetings NavyStepMom, congratulations on being part of the CTI DLI family. My sailor was told at the end of BC. He didn’t get his request but is very happy with what he got. So no worries, all of the choices are great. I have gotten to visit Monterey so if you have questions feel free to ask.

Comment by bbcregular on July 26, 2018 at 8:59pm: Hi NavyStepMom, first congratulations to your sailor for being in the prestigious rating of CTI. My CTI was given the language at Gl then when they arrived at DLI they requested a different language and it was granted. If your CTI2B does not care which language he has then it will probably be the one given near the end of boot camp.

Comment by NavyStepMom on July 26, 2018 at 1:25am: Hi, My sailor is in BC right now and PIR is for Sept. 7. He is off to Monterey right after. It is all very exciting, but seems like anything can change at anytime. When did your sailors find out their language? Was it at BC or DLI?

Comment by hds27 on April 28, 2018 at 6:15pm: Hi all. My second sailer for RTC on July 3rd. He is CTI bound. My first sailor is a Nuke (MM) in PowerSchool.

Comment by Peachie on March 12, 2018 at 11:59am: That's great Babbit! Our sailor is there now. He has made lots of friends since December and is enjoying the beautiful weather. Ours got his first choice language too. :)

Comment by Babbit on March 12, 2018 at 11:41am: They made it to DLI after some delays! They are unpacking and organizing. My son and his buddy from the division got their first choice language. They are breathing fresh Monterey air and are happy!

Comment by l4d4wn on February 12, 2018 at 10:41pm: Hi everyone! My son leaves for RTC Feb 26th. We're excited to find out his language. I'm so happy to find this group!

Comment by mkl7993 on February 6, 2018 at 9:23pm: @sambam32, yep they aren’t getting any kind of break. My son was excited about getting the brown boots. He doesn’t have to shine them.
