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 Cookie93 on April 5, 2017 at 7:26pm: My daughter went in to FIT last Friday, so we will not see her or go to graduation this Friday. My heart is so broken. I guess I will see her in Florida once she passes her run.

Comment by iLMOMMY76 on April 1, 2017 at 1:05am: Be encouraged...I went through this last year this time....my son is now on his first deployment.

Comment by Navy Beaner on March 26, 2017 at 5:47pm: Still waiting for my SR to pass his PFA....PIR was 3/17. Did talk to him today! He sounded so good and in good spirits. Prayers he gets this done at his retake tomorrow....

Comment by mamaft on March 17, 2017 at 8:34pm: Anyone have/had their SR's in FIT this week or this month?

Comment by joshsmom on February 22, 2017 at 3:18pm: Thank you lemon for the information!

Comment by lemonelephant on February 22, 2017 at 2:21am: joshsmom, the recruit calls once the decision has been made to move the recruit to FIT on the day of the failed PFA. It is unusual for a recruit who has not been injured to fail the push-ups. Typically recruits who are in FIT are there for failing the run and/or part of the swim test. See the info in Battle Stations-21 (BST). (Check your My Page.)

Comment by joshsmom on February 21, 2017 at 1:20pm: I have a question about the fit program. How long after the SR fails the PFA are they moved to the fit program and make the dreaded call? My SR will be taking the final PFA soon and I'm worried about him passing the push-ups.

Comment by lemonelephant on February 14, 2017 at 12:14am: No, there is no Liberty until the recruit passes BST and is then a Sailor and moved to the THU. Your recruit cannot have visitors. Only Sailors can have visitors after leaving the RTC.

Comment by Iris on February 13, 2017 at 10:00pm: Hi talorns-my daughter did not have any liberty while she was in FIT. I am not sure if others did. Once you complete a battle stations she was moved over to the temporary holding unit awaiting orders for her a school. She has liberty now under certain conditions .

Comment by talorns on February 13, 2017 at 9:16pm: I have a question, if they are in FIT, they have liberties so that means we can visit them fro few hours?
