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 fitness123 on August 24, 2013 at 9:02pm: Anybody get a call?? Many kids graduating on oct 11th have been calling their families. I'm dying here!!!!! So jealous and want to hear from my son:( I'm back to crying since all these other moms are getting their call:( since div 820 is spec ops, does that make a difference when they get to call?

Comment by fitness123 on August 19, 2013 at 9:32pm: What did they have to do during pool week? Is it different from PT? Boy I am really looking forward to a letter from him... Just need to know he's doing all right so far:) missing him so much!

Comment by fitness123 on August 13, 2013 at 10:00pm: Hello! My son left for Bootcamp Aug 7th and has a navy diver contract. I have really been struggling not knowing how he is doing... We were very close and find myself searching for any you tube videos to show me what the 800 div is doing verses the reg divisions. One big question I have is, if he is sick or hurt, will they be able to let us know??

Comment by PNW_KristaK on June 22, 2013 at 4:57pm: I'm trying to arrange for accommodations for PIR right now. I read on the main board that Gateway Lodge is a good option for those staying in GL for A school. What about Dive Prep, school? Would that be a good option for the weekend to spend time with our Sailor after PIR? Or is that in a different area. And was is a CHIT? Would we be better off just staying at a hotel (with a pool)? Thanks!

Comment by OutdoorMom on June 21, 2013 at 1:17pm: Hello My3Sons, Congratulations on your son passing dive prep! My SR wil also head to Dive Prep after 6/28 PIR. I see SaltyOcean and Nautigator SR.s are doing the same. How do we message eachother offline?
