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 diannep on July 1, 2011 at 12:39pm: Terrysproudmom: My son set up a NavyFed account and he is older (i.e., didn't want "mom" involved!), so even though his statements were sent here, I never opened them. I know he went to bootcamp in Nov and received his first pay the first part of Jan, because he told me that. Said it did include all pay back to beginning of boot....but takes 3 weeks or so to get processed to go into the bank accounts. Plus...he had Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays in there so that may have slowed his 1st deposit down a bit. But we are told that all are paid as E-1's during boot, no matter what their rate, but the pay is "made up" to them after boot. Again, only saying what I have researched...

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 1, 2011 at 1:00am: Thanks fireteamleaderwife! I thought they wouldn't get their first pay until after they PIRed. Good to know

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 1, 2011 at 12:57am: All military receive their regular pay on the 1st and the15th (if those days fall on a weekend or hoilday they are paid on the business day preceeding it.)

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on July 1, 2011 at 12:02am: What do you mean by second payday?

Comment by UFQ202- Ship 12, Div 231 on June 30, 2011 at 10:56pm: Just so happy to get a letter today. Hurry up PIR. Tomorrow will be their second payday!

Comment by ilmstravis on June 30, 2011 at 10:40pm: I am keeping myself so busy. I have one week of work then the beach. Then half of a week of work then him. I am soo happy. I am ready to see him.

Comment by diannep on June 30, 2011 at 10:28pm: I can assure you all that these last few weeks will be much better than the first few were. They are getting into the homestretch!

Comment by DukesMom on June 30, 2011 at 9:44pm: Terry that does sound like fun and growing together. I do hope this next three weeks fly and my son does too!

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on June 30, 2011 at 9:37pm: What I liked about my sons letter is that it sounds like they are starting to have some fun both on the job and pranks they are playing on each other. The RDC's punished the pranks but they all stood together and took the punishment together. The team trust has been built!

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on June 30, 2011 at 9:32pm: Keeping all our SR's in my prayers. This three weeks should be easier and more fun for them, but it is still work!
