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 Zenda 04/823 on February 6, 2012 at 9:21am: @ lovemydiver....I'm not sure. We didn't send our son anything while in bc like that. When is his PIR? Congrats to him and everyone in there. The 800 divisions are awesome...but I'm a little partial! :)

Our son's group is doing "pool week" this week.....so far....so good!!! :)

Comment by candigurlx0x0x on February 2, 2012 at 2:19am: My Boyfriend Is in BC right now. First letter just came in. SOOOO Exciting! He did ask for a simple digital black waterproof watch. Am I allowed to send this to him or will he get in trouble for it? Who can i contact at RTC to double check. I really dont want to get him in trouble.

Comment by Bensmom on January 30, 2012 at 9:36pm: CaronMS-Congrats to your son! Hawaii will be a beautiful place to be stationed! Good luck to our new diver!

Comment by Zenda 04/823 on January 30, 2012 at 12:36pm: Congratulations to your Navy Diver!!!!!!! That's great news!

Comment by lnaipaul on January 30, 2012 at 10:03am: Hi CaronMS,

So happy for your son. Just got back from Hawaii. It so pretty there. I hope you will be visiting him in Hawaii. He will love it.

Comment by CaronMS ND Mom on January 29, 2012 at 10:48pm: My son just graduated from Dive school last Monday. Graduation was great and he is so happy. After a month of combat training he is off to Hawaii. It's been a long 9 months!

Comment by CaronMS ND Mom on January 15, 2012 at 10:36am: Yes, congrats to your son. It takes persistence and dedication and NEVER giving up (and in my sons case, bullheadedness). Mine heads to Hawaii after a month in gulfport. He is very happy.

Comment by Bensmom on January 14, 2012 at 8:55pm: Sonja, Congratulations to you and your son. It sounds like he will make an excellent diver with his persistence. My son graduated from dive school in August and I have never seen him so happy doing something he loves! Good luck!
