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 August 14, 2011 at 12:08am: Probably right...maybe he meant in the running for being selected an honor recruit.

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 13, 2011 at 8:54pm: I don't know, maybe for honors or something?

Comment by navygirl on August 13, 2011 at 7:43pm: My SR said of he got his GPA up a few points he would be "in the running". Does anyone know what he would bein in the running for? I'm guessing he got distracted in his letter :) thanks!

Comment by LilLady88(Ship 04 DIV 819) on August 13, 2011 at 3:28pm: Hi everyone!! I have a quick question that I've asked on Facebook. Did anyone to to MEPS and take pictures of their SRs that might have other SRs in them? I wasn't able to go and I'm disappointed I don't have any "first" pictures. My SR left from Indianapolis. Please let me know if you have any group shots =) Thank you!!

Comment by diannep on August 13, 2011 at 10:41am: That is so great, Txtwins. There have actually been other sets of twins in previous groups at bootcamp...I think that is so neat! I noticed that they not only didn't put yours together, but not even in brother divisions! So they really won't see each other, most likely, until PIR. So great that they have that "extra sense" about one another. Fascinating to me...

Did they go in with the same job rate? Boy, your eyes will be all over that drill hall trying to keep up with two of them at PIR! You will be doubley proud! HOOYAH~

Comment by mapes on August 13, 2011 at 9:23am: Txtwins-that is cool you have twins there. My son 23 yrs old PIR 5/20/11 and my 20 yr old daughter PIR 9/01/11. I wish they could have been there togather but no luck. y son was still at Great Lakes after PIR and seen her at the pool but couldnt get her attention.

Comment by Txtwins 7/290**12/295 on August 13, 2011 at 12:53am: whew who!!!!!!!letters from both my boys this week. can't wait tillSundat cause I sent them 5 a piece! got three more a piece waiting to mail.

Comment by sdfavors on August 12, 2011 at 11:02pm: Yes there is a site for dad. Its NavyDads.My husband joined and guess what so did I. The guys post tuns of good info and stuff.

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 12, 2011 at 9:54pm: There's at least 3 of us in our division that are trying to win that pic Mapes. I just need my SR's fantastic memory and fast fingers to win this thing. Oh wait, the Navy has him now...

Comment by Candace on August 12, 2011 at 8:50pm: Does anyone have a son or daughter who left from Tampa on July 6? I have a picture of the group right before they got on the plane that I'd like to send to you. My son is in Ship 11, Div 281 and I think he said a couple that left with him are in his division.
