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 Proud Navy husband on October 15, 2010 at 1:59pm: so sorry tracey. I'll keep your son in my prayers and i second G Man's comment. please make sure he's aware of how grateful we all are of his desire to serve his country. positive vibes and God Bless

Comment by G Man Div 951 Ship 2 PIR 11/5 on October 15, 2010 at 1:49pm: Sorry to hear that Tracey :( We work so hard to get those that really want to serve and then something comes up and they cant. Tell him thanx for his desire to serve and please dont go hating on the Navy, what ever it was that they didnt like, they would have kept him in at this stage if they could have.

Comment by navygirl0428 on October 15, 2010 at 1:39pm: Hi everyone! I know we are all excited about the upcoming graduation, does anyone know if some of the hotels offer shuttle services from the airport. I'm trying to avoid renting a car. Thanks for any help you can give. :)

Comment by Andysmom on October 15, 2010 at 1:06pm: To ship mim, our recruiter told us no one has been turned away from graduation that they know of. A recent grad told me they had 6 people and all were let in. You must have an ID though.

Comment by G Man Div 951 Ship 2 PIR 11/5 on October 15, 2010 at 11:08am: No more service week, Hell week is just a nick name for a busy week. Push Divs have 2-3 weeks off busy:-)

Comment by MomShip11/Div361/PIR11-5 on October 15, 2010 at 10:02am: To anyone with PIR on 11/5. My daughter would like for her grandparents and boyfriend to come to grad. Grampa was in the Navy a LONG time ago!! Since myself, her stepfather, father and sister took her four seats, is anyone not going that would allow us to use their spots for the rest of the family? I know we would need to get the names on the list pretty soon. I don't want them to go and wait for the standby if they don't have to. Appreciate your assistance!

Comment by Trayalovesjohn on October 15, 2010 at 3:22am: Lala- thanks for the comment,that would be so great.

Comment by jerrikas_mom(Ship07Div355) on October 14, 2010 at 11:48pm: Both my brothers are Navy and the oldest was second in his class and they got the first two choices on where they would be stationed. The other person that was 1st in the class wanted San Diego so my brother got stuck in Hawaii for 5 years. lol

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 14, 2010 at 10:11pm: Got a letter, hell week was last week and he enjoyed it. Weapons simulation firing was Sat and they will fire actual guns this week. Took time off his run, but hasn't passed yet. Everything seems to be going well otherwise.

Comment by firemansmom(S7/DIV357) on October 14, 2010 at 9:51pm: Letter today...357 is doing Small Arms Marksmanship Trainer and live fire this week. Next week is their hell week. They had pictures today...
