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."

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 28, 2011 at 6:37pm: Oh SubWife that is not good. I can't believe facebook won't allow you to change it. I am getting married June 25th and I don't want to keep my ex's name, not even on facebook lol.

Comment by savanah! on March 28, 2011 at 6:32pm: got my boyfriend form letter today he graduates this date!(:

Comment by SubWife2011 on March 28, 2011 at 6:21pm: no it is not my SR's last name. It is my last name from a previous marriage, facebook just won't allow me to change the link.

Comment by ochaos on March 28, 2011 at 6:16pm: Please be careful what you post on here as it is a public forum and some RDC"s watch the sites and can give your recruit grief about it. If you are on facebook same thing be careful what you post. If you want to share info do so privately by pm, do not use names first or last and and do not use photos of your recruit because it makes it easier for the RDC's. If your recruit is an 800 division please read the Spec Ops rules. Just a heads

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 28, 2011 at 5:43pm: I know which is good because John's step mom was on the waiting list so now she has a better chance of getting in.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 28, 2011 at 5:36pm: HAve fewer divisions graduate also means you can take extra people with you to PIR if you choose to. They have a great chance of getting in with no problem. :)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 28, 2011 at 5:32pm: jdmom, my daughter did the same thing she wrote very small and got 8 lines out of the 4 provided and then wrote all the way up the side and across the top of the paper. And wrote little comments all over the other pages. It was AWESOME lol, I was so lucky to have a kid who like to write :-)

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 28, 2011 at 5:30pm: I'm just ready to get my first real letter should be sometime this week I hope.

Comment by jdmom on March 28, 2011 at 5:27pm: It is great that everyone is starting to hear, I can't believe my son wrote so much on the bottom of the form letter, I haven't even had it an hour and I have already read it about a dozen times. A much better Monday then last Monday when he left!
