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 Claudia on January 1, 2015 at 1:31pm: Happy New Year!! Navy Family :)

Comment by diannep on January 1, 2015 at 8:39am: Happy New Year!

Comment by maryjo on January 1, 2015 at 2:30am: Happy New Year all my new Navy friends!

Comment by diannep on December 31, 2014 at 8:31pm: Oh, My3sonsjrbm. I just noticed the divisions numbers you were posting about. No way they would be going this week. They start with the lowest numbers and work up....brother divisions go together too. See my BattleStations discussion above. Pretty much guaranteed that your division/brother division will be going next week.

Comment by diannep on December 31, 2014 at 8:28pm: Hmmmm, My3sonsjrbm. Yes, I agree with CatMom....we can't post specific dates for a division on there. Only by private message. I would be surprised if they would do any tonight with tomorrow being a federal holiday. They actually could complete all of the divisions next week if necessary. Yes, they normally start a PIR group on a Wed or Thurs night (usually Thurs night) the week before PIR week, but with the holiday, not sure they will do that this time. But you never know.

To answer your question, I'm a Sailor calls can start coming in as early as 2 pm Central time the next day (BattleStations is a 12 hr overnight drill). So keep phones close!

Comment by CatMom509 on December 31, 2014 at 7:03pm: My4sonsjrbm,

Oops, you weren't supposed to post the Battlestation date for any divisions! Please delete your post. It's a security issue~~ Thanks~

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 31, 2014 at 3:33pm: I would send asap.

A priority mail box should be good, clearly marked. Pack the liquid items in a Ziploc.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 31, 2014 at 3:31pm: From RTC website for Female Recruits:

Conservative cosmetics. Female/one of each: face powder, blush, lipstick, eye shadow and mascara (non-aerosol or glass)

I am assuming for "conservative" they mean neutral colors as well.

Comment by My4sonsjrbm on December 31, 2014 at 1:12pm: Well that's good news for those of us heading that way in a week! The weather is so darn cold that the Internet won't even work!! I'm heading to the store to buy some thermal underwear!
