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 diannep on December 2, 2014 at 12:32am: Kiwi: Yes, this PIR group is allowed Liberty on Christmas Day, which is granted to certain relatives (wives qualify! girlfriends do not.... :-( ) Your SR will be the one to mail home the form for you to complete and fax back to RTC so hoping you get it. During Liberty, they must stay in the 50 mile radius of RTC.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 1, 2014 at 2:30pm: HAPPY FIRST OF DECEMBER!

Comment by My4sonsjrbm on December 1, 2014 at 2:11pm: My son left for BC on Nov 13. He does not have Navy Federal Credit Union. He is using our credit union that we've had for years.

Anyone else with a sailor who went to BC on Nov 13 get paid today?

I was so hoping he would. He's got bills that need to be paid!

Comment by diannep on December 1, 2014 at 2:06pm: My4sons: For those with Navy Fed accounts, the money should be in there a day earlier. Sometimes, depending on when payday hits, even a couple of of days early.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Comment by Itsmemario on December 1, 2014 at 1:28pm: My wife left on the 6th of nov so she didn't get paid for the 15th of nov she had to wait all the way till the 26th to get her first pay check
