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.

Thanks!

Comment by NavySoccerMom on February 20, 2012 at 4:47pm: I was mistaken, there are only 2 graduations before ours. And there are two listed after ours. We're right in the middle.

Comment by NavySoccerMom on February 20, 2012 at 4:22pm: I have butterflies in my stomach after reading a lot of these posts. There are 3 graduations before ours. It's actually seeming like it's getting close. We leave 3 weeks from tomorrow to head that way. I will be mailing his contacts to him at the end of next week in preparation for graduation. I think that hit me more than anything else. I'm so excited. I can't believe we are less than a month away. Finally. He left 5 weeks ago today. Wow!
