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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 17, 2011 at 8:41pm: Hello New Navy moms. Thank you Navybear7 for starting your PIR group. I am Betsy and another 'veteran' mom on here helping out. My youngest son is one of the 2 sailors in our family. He is currently in Pensacola awaiting his Orders for his first duty station as a CTT. We also have a future son in law, who is stationed on a nuke sub in Hawaii as an ET. He lives there with my daughter. I began helping out on here after my son graduated from BC in Dec. of 2010 and love every minute of it. It's a wild and crazy ride, but you will love it.
