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 k2014 on August 13, 2014 at 11:30am: Hi everyone, my son has not passed his run yet. We need all the prayers and positive thinking right now. I'm feeling discouraged and I know that it's worse for him.

Comment by mustang on August 9, 2014 at 3:15pm: Hi Ireennn, i remember when my son didn't pass the prone float as well. He missed his PIR too. I read that you flew out to Chicago anyway. The thing is you will not have any contact with him until he passes his test. I was not able to write him, i had to wait until he called letting me know if he passed. He passed the day after his PIR. Once he passed, he flew out to A school. However, i got to see him before he left for about 8 10 hours. Once they miss they're PIR, they don't get to graduate, unless under certain conditions. But to ease your mind, we he pass his swim test and move forward. He will be ok. He will pass, they want him too. My son is doing well in California as a Navy Seabee. I hope this helps you out some. I will be praying for you and your Sailor to be.

Comment by Kimloveshersailorson on August 8, 2014 at 3:10am: You are welcome. Where in Cali are you from? I'm in So cal.

Comment by Ireennn on August 8, 2014 at 3:06am: Ok ill send him a few while im in Chicago since it will get there faster then when i get back home to California thank you so so much!

Comment by Kimloveshersailorson on August 8, 2014 at 3:03am: Yes you I believe you can write to the same group. They should forward mail to him. Until he gives you the new location.

Comment by Ireennn on August 8, 2014 at 3:00am: Do we write the same address as before? I pray for him every night. I just want it to be over soon :( god bless you too and thanks for hearing me out i appreciate it

Comment by Kimloveshersailorson on August 8, 2014 at 2:51am: Not a problem I understand. It was very hard for me. My heart goes out to you both. Keep encouraging him when he does call you can still write to him as well. He will pass! Hang in there I know it's tough! God bless you.
