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 Annabel Lee on February 26, 2014 at 12:59pm: 2navykids, I had my son ask his recruiter before he left, and he said he could have visitors in Florida. I don't think they are able to come home...

Comment by 2navykids on February 26, 2014 at 11:38am: I was wondering after my SR will be done in Great Lakes for is eod class/training and goes to Florida are we able to go see him there or will he have a break in between to where he will come home for couple days?

Comment by Annabel Lee on February 26, 2014 at 10:47am: Bkm, our SRs will have liberty all weekend if they are staying in Great Lakes after PIR. :) They have to be back at 10:00 each night. Processing after PIR will take 3-5 hours I read, but we can see them briefly after. Then Friday afternoon, eve.. after processing.

Comment by bKm on February 26, 2014 at 10:29am: I have a question about PIR weekend for the SRs going to EOD prep. I know he has to go check in almost right after PIR but will my SR's liberty be different that weekend than other divisions or will he mostly have his weekend free since he isn't flying out?

Comment by sonofabeach on February 26, 2014 at 1:04am: I mean graduation from EOD school, actually, DoxieMom. I wondered if there are any (other) mothers whose sons are finishing in May.

Comment by DoxieMom on February 26, 2014 at 12:50am: Robsproudmom, glad to hear that his fracture has healed. That is great news! PIR is right around the corner for him!

Sonofabeach, my SRs PIR is at the end of March

Did everyone get their calls recently?

Comment by Robsproudmom on February 25, 2014 at 10:38pm: Supposedly he will hook up with an 800 div for Dive Mo

Comment by Robsproudmom on February 25, 2014 at 10:37pm: Just got a call from my SR and he's been cleared for full duty. Stress fracture is healed. He was Asmo'd into DIV 118 because of where they are in the BC process and I guess there wasn't room in an 800 division. He'll be graduating March 21. After 6 weeks in RCU he is so excited to be back at it. Mom is so happy as well :)

Comment by sonofabeach on February 25, 2014 at 5:29pm: So....anyone have a graduation in May?

Comment by narob01 on February 24, 2014 at 12:26pm: Bonnie, How about Monday March 10th? Spring Break!!! I can come to you. My son has already done dive prep and is in Panama City. If his dive school starts in March they will be together then. That would be awesome for us!
