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."

I agree MamaCindy.  Although, sometimes it drives me crazy trying to figure out if I see my SR in there!  We can always hope!  Thanks to all of you for making my life sane during these weeks!

Hi Pianomom - type in Recruit Training Command.  You can make the page one of your "likes".  On the left just click on "photos" and you can see all that they've posted.  It's pretty cool!

Patty, I'm following the FB RTC site. It really helps to see a little of what is going on there, even if it's not our division.
Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on May 10, 2011 at 8:27pm
Is anyone else following Recruit Training Command on Facebook?  They post boot camp pics there sometimes.
Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on May 10, 2011 at 8:26pm
Sunny, I'm thinking tomorrow will be our day!  I saw someone from Div 209 got a phone call today.  Most of the phone calls I'm seeing coming in this week are from PIR 6/10.  Hopefully, if we don't get calls this week, we'll get them next week!  I bet their all praying for those phone calls as much as we are!
Comment by MamaCindy (MMW TM) on May 10, 2011 at 8:12pm
Thanks for the great words again, Sunnyb! I was hoping someone would get mail today and we would hear something from one another, but.....oh well, another day! At least no phone calls telling us they have to come home. AND we're right at the 3 week point when 09/205 said they'd call home....SO hopefully before the end of this week. Oh please, God! Such a good lesson in trust! Do we only trust Him when we can have a little control or knowledge? AND YES Sunnyb it will be FUN! Cheer on!
