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 CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 22, 2011 at 9:00am
I just wanted to post to everyone that goes to the RTC site on FB that probably doesn't know this (and Lord knows I still don't get what harm it does) but you can NOT post the link OR tell others there about Navy for Moms on the open page or in threads. If you want others to know about this site, and I think we all do, just go to the persons name on FB that you want to tell and even if they are not your FB friend you can click on MESSAGE and send them a private message telling them about Navy for Moms. I do this all the time when it looks like they could use some more support or may benefit from this site. I've gotten a few "thank yous" back in return.

Also on the RTC FB page you can't post things like what store you bought something at. So no "I Got one at Walmart". Its a no-no. Again, just send a private message to the person.

RTC posted today about this "spamming" (yes, crazy) and I just wanted to give everyone a heads up.

Maine Mom, click on All Groups and do a search for GL A-school or A school Great Lakes and you will find several different ones, some are active and some are not. Hopefully you will be able to find one that is. You can also search for one for his rate (job) and find groups for that as well and that one may be more active.
Comment by Maine Mom on July 22, 2011 at 8:18am

13 days!!

I found out he is staying in Great Lakes for A school. Is there a group or site that I can get info for that A school?
