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 Trayalovesjohn on October 14, 2010 at 5:20pm: Okay my hearts in my stomach right now. I guess his Division is Grad and go, but my recruit was told he was going to A school in the GL. Is it possible to have grad and go status but not leave?

Comment by diannep on October 14, 2010 at 4:54pm: What I had been told was that if your new sailor finishes at the top of his class in A School, he can choose his station. Since mine didn't get that honor (HA!), not sure about it, but my son claims that it is true.

Comment by Erica-proudnavywife on October 14, 2010 at 4:52pm: alice- your welcome. your recruit will usually put together his dream sheet sometime in a-school if he hasent already. My husband wrote in his last letter that he already made his. But even though they make a dream sheet it dosen't necessarily mean they will get whats on it the navy will send them most likely where they need them most.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 14, 2010 at 4:17pm: We had 13 divisions and 4 extra people. Everyone extra who was there got in and got seats. There are recruits who only have one or two people come and sadly some who don't have any come. That is why so many extras are able to get in.

Comment by alice/S7/Div364 on October 14, 2010 at 4:05pm: thank you erica

Comment by Erica-proudnavywife on October 14, 2010 at 4:03pm: alice- it's a list recruits put together of where they would like to be stationed after a-school.

Comment by alice/S7/Div364 on October 14, 2010 at 3:31pm: Ok, what is a dream sheet?

Comment by alice/S7/Div364 on October 14, 2010 at 3:27pm: did you all see the photo of the week on navy recruit training command face book page? its a recruit getting his wisdom teeth removed.Looks my boy, or one of you guys boy. Aw shucks all those pics look like the same kid! Lol. Lets just ALL claim the poor kid!!

Comment by diannep on October 14, 2010 at 1:50pm: Not calling you out, Lynne....HA! I totally agree that it is better to keep your recruit's name off the board. First initial is ok, but I referred to mine as "my son." Even though he is stationed now, I still don't call him by name on the boards. Remember, they are public boards. Just google a question about Navy boot camp, and most likely some of the Navy for Mom posts come up. So best to not offer too much info!
