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 kamme on May 22, 2017 at 9:34am: Cancersux-Oh no. 2 weeks?! It must be killing you. I'm sorry. I hope you heard from her yesterday. My son used to call on Sundays. Praying for both of you.

Comment by Christina on May 19, 2017 at 11:03pm: My son ran it in 13:31 oh man i hope he pass it soon and moves on to BST Just trying to stay busy

Comment by lemonelephant on May 19, 2017 at 10:11pm: Momto4ds, yes, he has been in FIT since his call last week. Use the address Ship 4 FIT Division- Male, 3600 Ohio Street, Great Lakes, IL 60088-7103.

If you know how far off he was on the run, you can use use Ship 4 Div 2347 (for those who failed the run by less than a minute), or Ship 4 Div 2444 (for those who failed the run by more than a minute).

There is info in Battle Stations-21 (BST) for you.

Comment by Cancersux on May 19, 2017 at 7:30pm: Kamme- my daughter was in FIT for 4 weeks and called twice. Then I received a call about 2 weeks ago that she was injured. So she is now placed in a recovery division and I haven't heard from her since.

Comment by Momto4ds on May 19, 2017 at 3:27pm: I got a call from my son last week that he didn't pass his run and not to come to PIR.He also said that he would call me when he passed his run.His division's PIR was today and I still haven't heard from him.Does this mean that I should assume he is in the FIT program now?Also, can I still use the same address to write him?I feel so lost and hate not knowing what's going on.
