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 10, 2012 at 11:51am: Wrong number at 6 a.m.? WOW! I hope the person was very apologetic...not only too early to be calling anyone, but with two recruits in bootcamps and never knowing when they may call? UGH! Just not right! :-)

Welcome back, Betsy!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 10, 2012 at 10:41am: Could still be a couple of hours! I think I will go back to bed for awhile! Hubby got in late last night and then it takes me ac ouple of hours to wind back down! So not much sleep! Poor hubby though!

Comment by Mrs. Woody on July 10, 2012 at 10:30am: Me too! Been checking about every half hour!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 10, 2012 at 10:18am: ...me waiting for the RTC Website to update the TG's!

Comment by mkcmom on July 10, 2012 at 10:05am: when my oldest was in bootcamp, he kept all his letters in a net bag (not sure where he got this bag) and gave them all to me at PIR so i could bring them home. But he actually had the "lockers" by his bed, which i assume had more room than their coffin racks do now.....

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on July 10, 2012 at 9:56am: Good Morning ladies! Sorry, I've been MIA for a few days, but I'm back now.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on July 10, 2012 at 8:34am: Good Morning everyone :-)

Comment by diannep on July 10, 2012 at 8:18am: mom-11-263: Sadly, my son DID throw his letters in the garbage ....back when he went to bootcamp, I was such a newbie, I didn't know about sending the larger envelope. Doubt he would have sent the letters back anyway. He is a "no nonsense" type of guy that read the letters and that was that! :-)

Comment by diannep on July 10, 2012 at 8:16am: Hoping that today is the day that RTC will post the divisions for this group! I bet FTLW probably has it pretty much figured out by now. She is very good at that! :-)

Good morning, ladies!
