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."

I saw on FB a Mom asked the RTC page about the Keels & DVD from our gradaution date...waiting on repsonse. Will post here once received.

Comment by debbiel on February 16, 2011 at 2:57pm: I received my son's Keel in the mail today. The DVD was not in the box. I was kind of hoping it was and am a little disappointed that it wasn't

Comment by Tamme on February 10, 2011 at 6:21pm: I haven't received the Keel or DVD yet either.

Comment by gmaof6 on February 10, 2011 at 5:59pm: Does anyone have the contact info for photos taken at PIR or has anyone received the Keel and DVD from the Jan 14 PIR????

Comment by trsnelgrove on January 30, 2011 at 4:31pm: Well my sailor has phased up, is enjoying duty free weekend and heading home to me very shortly. Home for 10, then heading to an overseas assignment. Hope all is well for everyone elses sailors.

Comment by ProudGMBarb on January 30, 2011 at 3:10pm: Taylorsugarb...congrats to your sailor! A word of advice and caution. Posting details is prohibited on the forum for your's sailor's safety. You have provided time, location, and ship details. I know you were excited and I am not picking on you. But we need to be careful as the whole world has access to what we say here. Please review the community guidelines. Thanks! and best of luck to your sailor!

Comment by thingamabob on January 27, 2011 at 11:33pm: redsmom - I hope he gets better soon. Colds have been going around here really bad. Just got a notice that there's been a confirmed case of strep throat in our 2 year old Son's preschool class.

Our daughter should've got her box of things today. She should also phase up in a couple days, I think she said.
I'm glad our Sailors went to the same place.
