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 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!

Comment by Bonnie-Codysmom on February 23, 2014 at 2:34pm: hey narob1...hows he doing? glad to see ya back onhere..we still need to meet for lunch....will he be in the dive prep in GL? maybe with my son then...

Comment by NJNavyMom on February 22, 2014 at 4:51pm: Narob01, I was pleasantly surprised on how well they treated my son, not just ear problems but also a severe case of pneumonia! It wasn't me taking care of him, but it was the next best thing.

Comment by narob01 on February 22, 2014 at 3:01pm: Hey ladies, an update on my son, the one that burst an eardrum five days into dive school. He has been cleared to dive again. They put him in a compression chamber stuck a camera in his ear and took him down 60 feet. Each time he cleared his ears they watched. How cool is that? They are working him out and making sure he will be ready at the end of March when the next dive class starts. He says they are taking good care of him and the weather in Panama City is beautiful.. I still miss him but glad to hear positive progress.

Comment by Annabel Lee on February 22, 2014 at 7:41am: Lupner, happy you got a call! I'm writing down my questions for him as you suggested. :). Fingers crossed that I get to talk to him today!!
