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 jb_navymom MMNuke Class 1107B on November 2, 2010 at 11:39am: jck - It looks like they post the honor grad names 2 days before the PIR, so maybe tomorrow? So exciting - it's getting sooooooo close! Safe travels everyone!

Comment by KT on November 2, 2010 at 11:10am: Good morning everyone! I can't wait until all of you who had someone going through BS21 last night to start posting about calls. It's so good to hear all of those things. My boyfriend goes through tonight, so I'll be waiting on the call tomorrow. I know he'll do great, but I'm a little worried because he had watch last night and has only been getting 3-4 hours of sleep.

Jck, they've been posting all of the honor graduate stuff on the site on Wednesdays so they have the most up to date and correct info. So be on the lookout for all of that tomorrow.

Only 2 more days! I can't wait to see all of you at PIR. I wish I could go the the meet and greet, but our flight doesn't get in until around 730 Thursday night.
