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 PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on April 27, 2011 at 11:06pm: Just found this somewhere on N4M and I thought it was cute ;-)

This is how the military works as related to me by a Navy Sailor:
First you got the Air Force that flies in and bombs the hill.
Next are the Marines who charge the hill and kill anything that moves.
After that the Army comes in puts up the flag and stands there like they've done something special.
All the while, the Navy sits back and rules the world.

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on April 27, 2011 at 9:54pm: I am praying the mountans will slow it down.....but I guess some of it will come up from the south and not go through the mountans so eather way I don't think we will get much sleep tonight!

Comment by Luvn_my_Navy_son(ship 11/div184) on April 27, 2011 at 9:48pm: Really hoping that the storms settle down, but right now it sure doesn't sound like they are going to.

Cait- 17 letters- That is AWESOME!!!!!

MommaCIndy- My son says their division is going to be the strongest :)~

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on April 27, 2011 at 9:44pm: very strong line of stormes moveing through pray for all the states it is going through.AL, GA, TN, SC, NC I will not sleep tonight....

Comment by Cait a sailors girl! on April 27, 2011 at 8:48pm: got 6 more letters today! That brings my letter count to 17! I still cant believe it

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on April 27, 2011 at 7:01pm: Virginia: Maybe if he told you where they are from you could click on the pictures up and to the right. You can see what city and state they're from (if they put it on their profile). Then I would send them a private email message. You may have to "friend" them first before you can send an email. That would be the safest way to do it I would think.

Comment by MommaCindy(Ship 11 Div 180) on April 27, 2011 at 6:06pm: Ok, I found my son in one of the random photos, 4-26-11. Wow, he look so much different without hair!!! Recevied 2 letters from him today. Still lliking Bootcamp, He says they are tops in being the smartest and fitness. Ready to send some Whoopings to the other divisions!! Need some help with teamwork but working on it!!

Comment by mmiles 11/186 on April 27, 2011 at 4:58pm: According to the RTC FB page under discussions it stated this in regards to the holiday weekend gradutions.....

U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command I believe that post was in reference to those graduating Thursday, May 26 instead of Friday because of the Memorial Day weekend. Those recruits going out of state for A School will fly out on Friday, the day after their graduation.

Recruits who graduate on a Friday will fly out of state on Saturday. If they stay in Great Lakes for A School, they will check in on Friday across the street on the main base.

It's confusing, we know.

Comment by Virginia (Ship 2 - Div. 928) on April 27, 2011 at 4:57pm: So... my husband included names of bunkmates and such in his list to run by ya'll here. What's the protocol for doing that on this site? I didn't think I should just post them in public.

Comment by diannep on April 27, 2011 at 4:51pm: We understand that since you all are PIRing on Thurs, they will fly the sailors out on Fri or Sat. But doublecheck on RTC FB. Which day they leave will depend on their A School/job. Only your SR will know exactly when he/she leaves.
