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 Cindy in Snowy MN on December 8, 2010 at 11:29pm: letter today...posted on Div 024 !

Comment by MarylandMom on December 8, 2010 at 11:08pm: Yipee Yipee !! I heard from my new best friend Reuben today from the scheduling office !! They have received my sons itinerary !! Probably after they realized I had sent things 4 times and also 2 frantic notes, it was best to at least tell me they have it !! So relieved. I hope everyone else who has been waiting so nervously gets their news soon too !

Comment by kathy on December 8, 2010 at 10:55pm: No news today here, either. I am sure he will let us know what is happening when he is able to. Glad to hear some info from other moms. I am hopeful that my son is on the same track as some of the other recruits. Keep positive, keep praying for success!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 8, 2010 at 10:12pm: Letter today but no news about BS's! He sounds great; but the details on BC are minimal. He did share that the RDCs are sharing some of their Sailor experiences with our Recruits and he really is enjoying hearing the stories.

Comment by Dot mom on December 8, 2010 at 9:55pm: no call or letter here either CJ's Mom. Trying to stay positive but it is very hard :(

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 8, 2010 at 9:24pm: No news again today. :( Trying to stay positive but it is slowly going out the window

Comment by Rhondapir12/17/10 on December 8, 2010 at 8:56pm: Does anyone know when battle stations for ship 3 div 24 will be? I got a letter from my son today. He says he has a very sore throat. He said his throat feels like razor blades. He seems to be doing well on his tests in spite of being sick. Only one week to go!
