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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 21, 2012 at 6:56am: I am so happy for all the new Sailors and all their families. This is such an exciting time :-)

Comment by Jenn_NicksWifey on August 21, 2012 at 1:31am: Hi everyone! My husband graduated bootcamp 7/20/12 and I thought I would pop over to answer any questions you all might have. He stayed at A School in Great Lakes, so I can help with questions for those, too. I drive into Great Lakes every weekend to see him.

I've added 2 discussions above with things I thought might be helpful that I haven't seen on N4Ms or the FB groups yet, a Google Earth shot of RTC so you can see walking distances, etc. and a driving tip I found VERY helpful to skip the line getting into RTC. If you have questions, please ask me under one of those Discussions because those replies will get emailed right to me. I might miss something posted on the wall. I'm trying to join several PIR groups to help out with questions. Also, feel free to PM me or friend request me.

Congrats on your new Sailors! You'll be so proud of them. I still get teary when I see those new Sailors marching on Friday afternoons.

Comment by kaseysmom on August 20, 2012 at 10:37pm: lpparker Thank You I was really getting scared but then she finally called. She had to work so she couldn't call.

Comment by lpparker on August 20, 2012 at 10:20pm: sputnik114 I tried to send a response earlier- when I talked to Brittany(I am Brittany's mom-haven't talked to you in a while) earlier she mentioned your daughter and that she had made it, potential weekend plans, etc- I didn't want you to worry. I am so happy for you that you were able to talk to her yourself.

Comment by kaseysmom on August 20, 2012 at 10:00pm: LalaRibbon thank you I was worried also she said she had to work that was why the call came in later.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 20, 2012 at 10:00pm: I will keep him in my thoughts and prayers shamar88

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 20, 2012 at 9:40pm: So good to hear from you Momof4, I hope your son continues to heal and I hope he can go back to boot camp if that is what he wants to do.

spitnik114, I am sooooo glad you got that call. You had me worried there for a min :-) Congrats to all the new Sailors.

Comment by shamar88 on August 20, 2012 at 9:11pm: Did not get a call, found out he still has to pass swimming, then Bs. Still have hopes on graduating on Friday.
