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 Stacey USS George Wash mom on November 1, 2010 at 3:05pm: I wonder what his PIR date will be!!! BTW, Loving the countdown clock and the music!!

Comment by cjk_mom_ship 03 div 021 on November 1, 2010 at 3:02pm: My son is on Ship 03 Div 021. Received my letter on Sat, with confirmation that the graduation date is on 12/17 as well. His "A"school is right there in Great Lakes and I am hoping that because they are on a lockdown the same day as graduation that he will be able to come home for a few days.

Comment by KLMkathy on November 1, 2010 at 2:41pm: Mary, that is very interesting. So I guess everyone should just wait until they get their letter to know for sure. Thank you for sharing. Hugs. K

Comment by TysMomKY on November 1, 2010 at 2:38pm: My son is Ship 02 Div 904 with a 12/17 graduation date! I'm excited to know the date because countdown has begun! I received the box today, but can't find it in me to open it right now. I just don't think I'm ready to do that! I also got the form letter with his message on the bottom and it broke my heart just to see his handwriting. My thoughts and prayers are with all the sailors and their families that are here trying to make it through this together! :(

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 1, 2010 at 2:32pm: My recruiter called back and said that even tho those divisions are posted on the RTC site that the push divisions are not listed there and hardly ever are. That he has seen divisions not listed there grad early. He also went on to say that he HAS seen a Wednesday graduating even when stand down is going on. he said the divisions that should grad on Christmas Eve SHOULD grad. on the 17th even though its not listed or the Wed. before.. he has seen it done both ways and told me not to get my hopes down yet.. not until I get my letter. He said the BC HATES keeping people past the 8 week mark and has always known them to push them out early. So for those moms/dads/wifes/girlfriends who are not listed on the RTC division and left last week... let us keep our thoughts high until we get our letters!

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 1, 2010 at 2:15pm: I just got a call from my husbands recruiter. Got my husband address to that is GREAT but the then.. I found out my husband is in Div. 26 so he is not grad. on the 17th.

Comment by KLMkathy on November 1, 2010 at 1:55pm: Wow, Dana, How nice. I hope he is in a performance division too. I am so proud of all our Seaman Recruits. Bless them all. K

Comment by DUEX_NAVY_momma on November 1, 2010 at 1:51pm: Oh Tuba and Trombone

Comment by DUEX_NAVY_momma on November 1, 2010 at 1:50pm: He certainly knew how to march

Comment by DUEX_NAVY_momma on November 1, 2010 at 1:49pm: I can not wait to get home and see if my letter is here. I would assume he would be in DIV 904/905 because he was in band for 6 years.
