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 timeto read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are not 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 remember someone can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.

Comment by unc80 on January 28, 2012 at 12:39pm: FTLW, thanks for all of your valuable information.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 28, 2012 at 11:31am: I just found out there have been changes to the Family Guide put out by RTC.

One thing I noticed is this:

"Recruits must remain in uniform at all times in public."

Has been changed too:

"Recruits must remain in uniform at all times."

So, it is looking like no civilian clothes are allowed at all.

The Guide has gone from 6 pages to three...bare bones basics. THERE IS NOTHING DRASTIC SO FAR IN THE CHANGES THAT I HAVE SEEN...JUST SIMPLE THINGS LIKE THE ABOVE.

They got rid of the term Grad n Go several months back and went to Friday and Saturday Departures...now THAT is gone too. There is NO title and they just talk about Departing Recruit Training Command after PAss-in-Review and explain the diferences.

I will be updating my posts later today and I will also be printing up copies of the old and new to compare the changes in info. I will do the posts and links first...the link to the old Family Guide does not work.

Thank you for your patience!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 28, 2012 at 8:26am: I couldn't agree more. I can't even imagine wanting to go to Charlotte if UNCW and the beach were only 1.5 hours away :-)

Comment by Connie (Ship03 Div 070) on January 28, 2012 at 8:21am: We are about 3.5 hours from Charlotte, so it is not too far. I think she is really leaning toward UNCW though and it is only 1.5 hours. I love the idea of them being fairly close. I can't imagine them being 10 hours away and having an emergency. I like the gradual separation. Let them grow up a little while they are still close to home.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 28, 2012 at 12:22am: well, they do have a lot of concerts there lol. We like it because it is only 2 hours from home and my brother and his family live there, and my oldest son (29) lives there as well so she would have family close by. I am sure she would love the home cooked meals and a big bro to hang out with lol.

Comment by diannep on January 27, 2012 at 11:41pm: Ladies, sometimes when you friend request me asking info, I will comment back on your page rather than message. So be sure to check the comments at the bottom of your page!

Comment by Connie (Ship03 Div 070) on January 27, 2012 at 9:08pm: I've been praying for good weather that entire week. I am so afraid of my plane being delayed.

Lala- My daughter is considering UNC Charlotte because "I think it would be cool to be in Charlotte. They have a lot of concerts." I'm glad we have a year to decide still.

Comment by astrid on January 27, 2012 at 7:48pm: Woohoo, in 3 weeks we'll be in Chicago celebrating :) As mind as well start praying for good weather now!

Comment by unc80 on January 27, 2012 at 6:56pm: diannep, I sent you a personal message with a friend request about BS.

Comment by diannep on January 27, 2012 at 5:04pm: Be on the lookout for BattleStations dates from your SRs and please report to me by friend request/private message (can't post them on the board). I will try to get a schedule and message it out. Thanks!
