OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 harpist mom on January 24, 2012 at 5:21pm: I had a call from my son today. He sounded upset and discouraged - it was hard to hear him that way. He needed security clearance info and did not have his address book or phone (or computer). It seems like his recruiter should have provided all this info previously. There was certainly plenty of time for them to get this information from my son and forward it. Evidently the recruiter had even given some INCORRECT information for the security clearance - which is disturbing. I hope everything will work out. He arrived the night of Jan 11th and said he has been processing since then. Today was his first training day. It seemed like a lot of processing days!

Comment by Robin - Nuke ET on January 24, 2012 at 5:13pm: MEJ. I will definitely let you know when I receive it. My new job is stalking this website and the mailman. I'm glad you and so many others are getting letters. I know my day will come...soon!!!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 24, 2012 at 5:02pm: They have to get permission...and it is difficult.

LALA!...I hope LaLa catches this later because she always has a really great, more detailed answer.

Comment by MEJ on January 24, 2012 at 4:59pm: Dont move. I need you. They must be side by side. Thats great you found out what ship and DIV. You should get your form letter today. Let me know when you receive it.
