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 utmost importance. Please take the timeto read the OPSEC and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names of Recruits/Sailors 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 Maria on March 8, 2012 at 12:15pm: Jill, praying for you and your SR. God is wonderful and He will heal your SR really soon.

Comment by ehuds on March 8, 2012 at 11:53am: Oh my goodness, I got a letter from my SR today! It is only the 4h one, but he is happy and ready to get to Pensacola and then on to the fleet. This time next week, we will be seeing the signs, Chicago, 180 miles.......

Comment by ehuds on March 8, 2012 at 11:44am: Jill, Ditto Robin, altho I do post a little more. Prayers are with you for your SR and family. The injury will heal, the setback will be minor in the course of the Navy career (altho right now it feels awful because you worry so much), and all will be well. I am looking forward to hearing your excitement about your SR's PIR as we all check back with our group in the future.

Comment by Pam on March 8, 2012 at 11:37am: Praying for ours SR's. BS is coming and ALMOST done. They need us.

Comment by NavySoccerMom on March 8, 2012 at 11:17am: Jill~I am so sorry. I almost cried for you when I read your post. I am sending prayers for you and your SR that he heals quickly and completely and gets to PIR as soon as possible.

Comment by Robin - Nuke ET on March 8, 2012 at 10:26am: Jill..I watch and listen alot, not always commenting here but I just wanted to let you know that I will be thinking of you and your SR. I will continue to watch and listen for you to return with great news about your son soon.
