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 mtngrl2014 on July 16, 2011 at 6:29pm: Heike, My son is also in that division!! I was so excited to FINALLY know :D

Comment by Proud AV Mom on July 16, 2011 at 6:13pm: That sounds like a good idea Sparkeys , I think we'll plan for that! I also found Priceline has good ticket prices as well, but I like the no charges for changing dates as well, just in case, do you think it's better to wait til last minute to book or asap????

Comment by JapanMom on July 16, 2011 at 5:35pm: boilermom-still waiting for my form letter but my son is also going to be a CTR. I have to wait and see if he is in the same divisions yours.

Comment by boilermom on July 16, 2011 at 5:15pm: JapanMom and veryproud- my brother was at Orlando in the summer of 1978, then went onto the USS Forrestal (sp?) and stationed at Oceana,VA. He has been a key leader in my son wanting to join.

Comment by Proud AV Mom on July 16, 2011 at 4:50pm: I know I've probably asked this before, but when do we find out what kind of liberty they'll be getting being they're gradin' on a Thursday? I know my son will have to fly to FL for A-school but being it's a holiday weekend, didn't know if there was a certain way they handle holidays with those that fly out.

Comment by diannep on July 16, 2011 at 4:44pm: "for 285"....not "form 285" I need to keep better tabs on what my fingers are typing!

Comment by diannep on July 16, 2011 at 4:44pm: Welcome, Heike; You may want to start a discussion group above form 285...you know the ole saying, "If you build it, they will come!" Just click, on "Add a Discussion" and get started!

Others on here may want to start discussion groups for your division above. Please...only one per division number so you are all in the same place....and please don't leave the "main board" here where all of the info will be. Staying on both is a better option! :-)
