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 Alex's_Mom (Robin) on August 23, 2015 at 7:01pm: Congratulations

Comment by Alex's_Mom (Robin) on August 20, 2015 at 6:57pm: Alex is officially a SAILOR... He just called me from his new home for the next 173 days.

I am so happy for Alex. I am also so relieved that the waiting is over.

Comment by Alex's_Mom (Robin) on August 15, 2015 at 9:22pm: He said he will be coming home when they get the stand down for Christmas.

Comment by Alex's_Mom (Robin) on August 15, 2015 at 9:21pm: His PIR date was 7/24. He was put in the FIT Program since he failed his PFA run test. Once they miss their own PIR, they do not get another.
Alex isn't worried about it, he is just glad to have passed the run test.

Comment by Alex's_Mom (Robin) on August 15, 2015 at 9:16pm: He missed his PIR, he will go straight to A School next week.

Comment by Alex's_Mom (Robin) on August 15, 2015 at 9:05pm: I am so excited, my son Alex finally passed his run in FIT and Tuesday I should get the I'm a Sailor call and then I will officially be a part of this group. He will be in A School in GL for AECF - FC
