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."

Hey everyone! My husband is currently in Bootcamp and his PIR date is 3/26. He's a nuke in the 900s DIV. I was wondering if your Nukes were grad and go's or had liberty weekend? I haven't found out yet and am just anxious to know!!! Congratulations to those that have graduated and are in A-school! How exciting! Do they get weekends off?? Please any info would be great! Thanks! :0)

Kathy - I agree with raytirza - joining the bootcamp group connected with your son's entry date will be a life saver. I couldn't have done it without our Dec 2009 group family. My son signed up April 09 and left Dec 09 - the DEP program usually fills in the recruits and prepares them - as for how to prepare you - you might look for delayed entry program group that I've seen in passing on N4M.

Hi marksmom!!

My son is in Delayed Entry Program and will be off to Bootcamp Aug. 24, 2010 then headed to the Nuclear Program. He doesn't say he's nervous but a mamma knows :) Any stories or suggestions from moms that have seen their son/daughter make this decision?
Comment by mama B on February 11, 2010 at 6:50pm
Hello every one,
My son is scheduled for PIR 3-5-10 then he is headed to Charleston to embark in the Nuke progam.
I'm glad to have found this group :)
