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.

Information
As our recruits get furthur into bootcamp I thought that maybe some of the Moms in Division 818 PIR 9/2 would like to get more specific information. I'm brand new at this but thought I'd try and maybe some more knowledgable Mom's will help us.

Lydia, I knew from the start from what I read about Spec. Ops. that we had to be very cautious with what we spoke about & to whom. It is all for the protection of our awesome Sailor's. It's a crazy world out there unfortunately!

Let me re-phrase that - it was suggested to me by a seasoned Navy mom that now is a good time to exercise caution as once they leave boot camp they will be on tighter restrictions and as it should be of course.... so I wonder
