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 Kmagill on October 3, 2013 at 10:06am: My husband left for basic on 9/23 I have read that our son and I are eligible for benefits but I just need to wait for the DEERS form. Will they communicate this with him in RTC? We were told so many different times that we weren't going to be eligible by the recruiter that I am worried he won't sign us up.... Any advice/insight?

Comment by Galvanfoxtrot on October 1, 2013 at 7:36pm: @abuon18 They closed at 4pm today so I didnt get to call them in time. :(

Comment by abuon18 on October 1, 2013 at 6:40pm: If you have time today, call them to find out. I know in San Diego & Norfolk the ID Card offices are closed as of tomorrow.

Comment by Galvanfoxtrot on October 1, 2013 at 6:20pm: Considering this whole government shut down situation occuring, am i still going to be able to sign up for benefits? Ive had an appt to register for DEERS for about a month now and its for this Friday. I dont know if going will be a waste of time or not now... anyone have any ideas?

Comment by J's Wife on September 16, 2013 at 12:25pm: My heart goes out to those with loved ones in Washington today. You'll be in our prayers.

Comment by UrabissWife on August 6, 2013 at 1:44pm: The ID paper work will come with your insurance and DEERS info :) once you get that, they have a number you can call to see the closest location to get your ID , or the nearest base has it. Its best to call b/c some places you need an appointment :)
