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."

You can click on the photos on the left side of their page.

Comment by NavyMomSue (Ship11 Div 184) on April 25, 2011 at 12:42pm: Crazy ...where would I look to find the RTC posted weekly pictures you mentioned?

Comment by CrazyNavyMom(NukeET-GC,SC) on April 25, 2011 at 10:35am: just checking in on you ladies *and gentlemen*. You are getting closer!!! You are a small PIR like ours was which is darn nice... I cant imagine how crowded things are with the groups that have 14 divisions... ugh. It is really cool that the RTC is now taking and posting weekly pictures and I hope you get to see some of your sailor there... Although my son is out of boot and into his school, I still come back here to check on you guys, and man it brings back the memories!!! I see you have several "oz's" (the name i gave to the oldies that come back to give advice and direction)... and thats awesome. They are a plethoria of information. You are half way there.. start making your plans... order your memory ribbons from LALA soon so you will be sure to get yours. I just added one of mine into my sons scrap book for memory. At PIR you can tell who is with NAVY 4 MOMS by looking for the blue ribbons. Anyway..us oldies are around if we can help you in any way...

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2011 at 11:15pm: Wow, 1fireteamwife: What a wonderful day you have had! And...I agree with you about the "message" Carrie had to give---making her sound even more wonderful and talented than ever!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on April 24, 2011 at 8:32pm: Hope everyone is having a blessed Easter!

Thank you for the Carrie Underwood video JessicaB. It was better than anything she's ever done...could it possibly be the message of the song that brings out even more the talent that she has been given? ;-)

Started the day with a sunrise service, witnessed incredible faith of a family being there at service even though they just lost there wife/mother three days ago, came home just in time to get a call from Hubby who'sin Iraq (2 hours!!), saw "Men of Honor "(amazing true Navy movie), read all of your Happy Easter Blessings, watched this beautiful awesome, video and now going to dinner with my two men here at home. Will finish off by writing my SR tonight.

He is Good all the time!

Comment by laurelbc 11/180 on April 24, 2011 at 3:35pm: Happy Easter my PIR friends! Dianne is right about FB. When I mention Navy4Moms, I say "other sources." Each site is helpful and interesting, but I will say those on FB who are non N4M do not know what we know. They are asking entry level questions on which we have all been educated.:) Thank Goodness for this site. Here's hoping our recruits are all writing letters right now.

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on April 24, 2011 at 11:31am: A Blessed Easter to you and yours!

Comment by Karina (ship 11/Div. 179) on April 24, 2011 at 10:54am: Happy Easter!!

Comment by diannep on April 24, 2011 at 7:54am: For those of you going on FB, please don't forget to check back in on this group too. Also, if you post things on RTC FB about NavyforMoms, chances are...your comments will be deleted. Some ladies in the past have posted on there for the FB ladies to check out NavyforMoms and then their comments were gone. Not sure why because the Navy started this group for us back in March 2008! But since they don't have control of what is said on here, they don't want to endorse NavyforMoms on the RTC FB page, I guess.

Happy Easter!

Comment by laurelbc 11/180 on April 23, 2011 at 3:06pm: Hi Virginia. I think so, but if not, start one. I was just there and it's a very active site and you get comments from the actual Recruit Training Command.
