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 August 26, 2010 at 5:38pm: I would think that anything would be possible, so maybe things did get slowed down. My son is in the SECF program...so on a submarine.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 26, 2010 at 5:12pm: It's a drag when your recruiter doesn't know, or chooses not to waste their time to find out! Please let the ladies in DEP groups know about this now, so they can discuss with their Depper before they leave (especially the August and Sept groups).

Comment by timsmom submariner on August 26, 2010 at 5:04pm: @dillons mom, my son left on the 19th from San Jose to Illinois and he is Div 344.. what is your son's job? I know this whole process of NOT KNOWING is so unassuring. Did you get a call from Dillon? I haven't even got his box yet. :-(

Comment by LoveUDrew/Ship12/Div343/PIR10/15 on August 26, 2010 at 5:02pm: Hi Dillons Mom, my son left Wednesday and my recruiter isn't helping me out either. I'm just worried that others in my sons division will start getting letters and my son will wonder why he's not getting anything.
