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 CRSmom on May 7, 2011 at 2:09pm: Does anyone know what they do after BS? Do they get to sleep?

What do they do for the days they are waiting for PIR?

When does their address change?

Just wondering?

What kind of Tennis shoes do they wear? Can they buy a new pair after they

check into A School? (My daughters are too small)

So Excited! Perfect strangers get to listen about my daughter in Boot Camp who will soon be a Sailor.

Comment by patsmom on May 6, 2011 at 10:35pm: We have a Sailor in the family!!!!

Comment by Valtameri on May 6, 2011 at 10:05pm: 810 looked good. It was a beautiful day, and they were marching across the street from me. The young man calling cadence was on the shorter side, but had a deep, strong voice. So, yes, I saw your boys!

Comment by proudmom on May 6, 2011 at 9:55pm: You saw 810! Awesome. Thats my boy!

Comment by Valtameri on May 6, 2011 at 9:32pm: I was at RTC and had the pleasure of seeing two divisions marching by today -- 171 and 810. They were looking good!

Comment by judyb on May 6, 2011 at 6:40pm: @ Duane No, you can't... on the FB page, RTC said they would be taken away, and given back after. They don't want anything that might obstruct someones view. They allow flowers, but discourage them. There is a concern that someone sitting around you may be allergic.

Double-check on the FB RTC page - the answer is there.

Comment by Dr.Kimber on May 6, 2011 at 5:43pm: Itsmemom, when i talked to my SR today he said he only ordered the pictures and would pay after PIR.
