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 timsmom submariner on September 3, 2010 at 11:33am: I have my cell phone by my side and the ringer turned up way loud in anticipation. Waiting for a call from my son! Now I wait and wait and wait and wait....waiting is getting old. :-)

Comment by Tracye** Diva Rambo** on September 3, 2010 at 10:50am: LOL.....Merch....ya didn't like the rope thingies?? It was late and I was tired I was scanning thru pictures of graduation from yesterday and the ropes caught my eye...I had questions......maybe I shouldn't ask questions after 9 p.m.....:)

Comment by Kelly (Pink) Curtis' Mom on September 3, 2010 at 10:46am: Good Morning 10/15ers!!! Only 41 more days! I've been doing fairly well the last couple of days but am now ready for a letter or phone call! I think I've been pretty patient.... bring it on already!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 3, 2010 at 9:42am: FYI... BEQ stands for Bachelor (or base to be politically correct) Enlisted Quarters.

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 3, 2010 at 9:41am: Mary - Each division is made up of Recruits of all different Rates so there may be some going to the same A School, but maybe not.

Here's a picture - maybe that will help. :)

Comment by marsyt03 on September 3, 2010 at 9:28am: can someone explain the Ship / Division numbers? I see so many ship 12 with different division #. I don't exactly know what that means. My daughter is ship 12 division342. Is everyone in her division going on to the same A school?

Comment by merchantvillesteve on September 3, 2010 at 7:35am: TRacye....Rope thingies??........LOL

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 3, 2010 at 7:28am: Good Morning 10/15ers!

I hope today brings good news to someone... or no news at all as well all know is good news, too! But I prefer the latter! ;)

Happy Friday!

Comment by DanaMN ~Kris's Mom~NCTS SanDiego on September 2, 2010 at 11:22pm: Red ropes are RDC's... I know that. I think black ropes are those in the performing division.

Good night all. I'm going to go sleep away some hours so I'll be closer to 41 days when I wake up! :)

Comment by Tracye** Diva Rambo** on September 2, 2010 at 11:01pm: So about these honor graduates.....what all is involved in getting that award? Also what are the lil rope thingies red, blue,yellow ones...what are those for?
