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 Andysmom on November 2, 2010 at 1:06pm: cheryllynn.....Was there alot of people that brought in extras? Did you see anyone get turned away?

Comment by Andysmom on November 2, 2010 at 1:04pm: Do the honor recruits go up on the Navy Command page tomorrow? Says to make sure the names are accurate, name will be posted 2 days before graduation. They still have PIR 10-29 up there. I am so nervous for my call today. Do they get a call to mom and dad or just 1 phone call? I'm up 1 call on my ex so I'm thinking if there is only 1 call, he'll get it. DARN voting polls keep calling. I hang up as fast as I can!

Comment by gkneemo-Alex'smom on November 2, 2010 at 12:50pm: WooHoo, Navy Moms... I am now in the same state as my SR!!! 3 hours away from Great Lakes and will arrive at our hotel tomorrow! Thanks to everyone for their continued prayers for our safe trip!
For all who have SRs preparing for BS tonite, I pray for peace and calmness. Yea I know it's hard, my SR doesn't go until tomorrow nite and it's making me a wreck. Can't wait until the meet and greet, hopefully will have heard from my SR by then. I just can't believe how close we are to PIR!

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on November 2, 2010 at 12:48pm: Hi there. Some have asked, others have been praying, so i wanted to update you. I havent' heard anything from my son, so hopefully that means he passed the run on Friday and the shins held up. He had the MRI on thursday and so far I've heard nothing. Still praying it is nothing. the mass is on a kidney. Hopefully it is just one of those benign things. Praying that no call is good news and that his health is o.k. Still praying for him and all of our soon to be Sailors. Now, if the phone would just stop ringing with all those political calls. Every time it rings with that long distance, two short rings, I jump out of my seat and my heart hits the floor. Can't they be more considerate?

Comment by cheryllynn-proud mom of a sailor on November 2, 2010 at 12:36pm: Hi ladies. Just wanted to say...you will LOVE PIR! Just got back last night. My son graduated 10/29. While at the NEX I saw div. 358 marching and they looked awesome. My son was with us and he said they had flagged everything...so congrats!!!!
