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."

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK ME

Comment by jacqueline-rn on November 29, 2011 at 1:22am: I got a letter today too!!! Oh Happy Day! He sounds great. Well, actually he sounds a little irritated because everyone was talking at 2100 and they had to get up at 0400. (Would anyone like to guess how many times I stumbled out of my bedroom in the middle of the night yelling "turn off the *&#^*%$ X-box and go to bed!!!!! Karma! Gotta love it!)
