OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

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 SailorMom92 (DIV 244) on August 27, 2012 at 12:15pm: where do we go now? :-(

Comment by blythe9041 on August 17, 2012 at 12:02pm: Ship 3 Div 245 Moms. Who belongs to Bracey. Our sons became friends. My son didnt graduate 8?10 due to medical problem. Somebody decided to pull his teeth at the last minute. He passed out during his last run. Im eagerly waiting for a call.

Comment by NavyMom Maria(Ship07, Div242) on August 15, 2012 at 5:46pm: I just came back home after attended my son's PIR 8/10, and learned from him that BC was easy for him. He was prepared and went to Gym do the worked out, swimming etc, before he went in. He said JROTC in high school was much harder for him. He had Marine who trained him at that time. BC was actually basic staffs that you need to know and equip. They learn to be more dicipline.
