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 Sailors/Recruits 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 ellen0502 on May 25, 2012 at 1:22am: Another veteran mom here, although a newbie. Son stayed in GL for A School (ET) and is currently in ATT (they learn that a thing-a-ma-jig is always a thing-a-ma-jig and not a watch-ma-call-it in the Navy and how to know that thing-a-ma-jig is broke).

Someone mentioned sending a calendar to your SR. Here's one with May-June-July on it.

Comment by NancyS on May 24, 2012 at 11:39pm: William -- my son is Ship #09 too, but Division 215. I think these might be brother divisions. I got my letter yesterday & sent off a letter this morning. Hopefully the next thing we get is a phone call or letter.
