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 Cdolldonna on February 10, 2018 at 10:29pm: Ok, I have a question.If they fail PFA and are moved back to another unit, and still don't pass what next> Is that when they send them to ASMO for fir training?

Comment by lemonelephant on February 8, 2018 at 4:53am: Donna, if your recruit has been moved to another division with a later PIR date, then he is expected to be able to pass and have PIR on the new date. See Physical Fitness Assessment (PFA) and Fitness Improvement Training ....

Comment by Cdolldonna on February 5, 2018 at 11:55pm: If your recruit is pushed back and given another graduation date, does hat mean we can see them graduate or they are just sent directly to A school?

Comment by RJNavyMom on November 29, 2017 at 10:20pm: Sending Love and Prayers to all Recruits and their families who need a word of encouragement right now. A few months ago I was in the same spot asking for Prayers for my Recruit. Just keep the Faith!!!! God Bless you all! Happy Holidays to each of you.

Comment by Navmom on November 6, 2017 at 10:59pm: Prayers to all sailors recruits and their moms. Give them strength and let them believe in themselves. They can make this happen. To all moms, we all have been there, keep the faith as we continue to pray for them all.

Comment by GranmaFaye on November 4, 2017 at 3:17pm: Praying for the recruits who need to pass so that they can move on. Father, give them strength and bring peace and calmness to them. Please allow them to realize their dreams. In Jesus's name. Amen.

Comment by Downtoearth 123456 on October 15, 2017 at 7:02pm: Prayer Warriors are interceding already for ALL. Thank you!

Comment by RJNavyMom on October 14, 2017 at 8:44pm: You're Welcome Downtoearth 123456. We will continue to send up many prayers for all the young men and women that are on this journey that are trying to pass.

Comment by Downtoearth 123456 on October 14, 2017 at 4:49pm: Hello RJNavyMom, Awww that is awesome. Thank you so much for the information, advise and word of encouragement! It's heartbreaking to have to go through this with him but your right we can only encourge him to never give up, listen and do what to his instructors tell him to do but most importantly to rely on God for Everything. I can't wait to hug him. Good Luck and God Bless you and your Sailor. Prayers for our SRs and Families.

Comment by RJNavyMom on October 14, 2017 at 6:57am: Hello Downtoearth 123456 My Son was placed in the FIT Division for his swim about eight days before his scheduled graduation date. Although he was devastated we all encouraged him not to give up. He had to take swim lessons twice a day. They are allowed to test after they show that they have corrected and improved in the areas that they are having trouble in. Encourage your SR to take what they are telling to do and just do it. They are there to help them pass. My Son didn’t have to do any other training while in FIT because he had passed everything but the swim. On the day of his PIR he finally passed!!!! He missed his graduation date but it was ok because today he is still a Sailor who is now in “A” School. I pray that your SR will keep swimming!!! Blessings to you both.
