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 CRF230dad on April 11, 2011 at 2:35pm: FYI people RTC said SRs will still fly out on Saturday or Sunday regardless of the Memorial day holiday. 8^(

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 11, 2011 at 2:32pm: OK so looking at the bootcamp.navy.mil site looksl like they only list out graduatin dates through May 27. SO I am assuming since May 27th is for 179-184 & 928 my RC in the June 3 class or beyond. Thnaks for all the great questions and topics you have all raised I will still follow this group for great info!! SMILES to you all!!

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 11:57am: OMG: That is not your SR's last name in the fb link, is it? If so, you will need to remove the post. No last names on here of SRs. Navy security. If it is not your SRs last name, no problem!

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on April 11, 2011 at 9:06am: Morning OMG. I am at work now so luckily my time will be occupied by work things. I keep looking at the calendar, willing the time to move faster. I pray a similar prayer at night for my son. It might sound a little silly but each night I picture Jesus laying His hand on him filling him with strength, courage, a loving heart and perseverence. It makes me feel so much better afterward. I always thank Him for N4M.com; I honestly don't know what I would do without it. I have found more encouragement and strength here than I could ever find anywhere else.

Hope you (and everyone else) has a great day today. We're one day closer to PIR!!!

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on April 11, 2011 at 8:14am: Ever sence B left I have been praying this little prayer...I pray for the Lord to give him Peace in his heart and mind, Strength for his body, and Courage for his soul.

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 8:11am: "letter" not lette....sorry!

Comment by diannep on April 11, 2011 at 8:11am: Remember to check addresses from the recruiters with the form lette address when it arrives. They could be a bit different. The form letter address should be the updated correct one. Letters should all get there but may take longer if address is a bit off.

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on April 11, 2011 at 8:10am: good morning Proud! hope you feel some peace in your heart and mind today!

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on April 11, 2011 at 7:50am: joankf: My son left on a Monday and I received his form letter the following Monday; however, as soon as I saw on the DEP leaving in March calendar that someone who left the same day as him got a ship and division, I emailed the recruiter's office and asked if he could tell me my son's information. They say they can't get it for 1-1/2 weeks but they can get it sooner than that. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to matter when you get it. I've been writing letters for 2 weeks knowing that he hasn't seen one of them. I wish we could all get our mail sooner!!!! Hope you get your information today1
