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 TysMomKY on December 5, 2010 at 12:19pm: Say special prayers for our recruits! They are in the homestretch and I know they must surely be stressed and tired, but equally as excited about their graduation date quickly approaching (not soon enough I might add). Pray that the weather cooperates for every one that is traveling and also pray for everyone traveling to graduation that they will have safe trips to and from! Oh, it is soooo close now! I'm already having a hard time sleeping at night!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on December 5, 2010 at 9:09am: Lighting my blue candle today to support our SR's being in the home stretch; thinking and praying for our sick SR's to feel better so they can participate and pass everything they need to to stand tall on 12/17/10; also saying a Prayer for Mary (12/22 Admin) and her SR J as J's dad is having surgery today; its sounds quite serious.

Comment by Wendi, CTR mom on December 5, 2010 at 1:45am: Most probably won't delay graduation, but H has already had a few days of LLD at the beginning due to knee problems

Comment by kathy on December 5, 2010 at 1:34am: Hi everyone, I am worried about my son and all the sick recruits. His letter two days ago stated that he had a cough and was hoarse. He was feeling sick then. I am worried that he will get pneumonia. He has had it in the past. If he is too sick, they will delay his graduation, right? He really wants to get through on time. We did not hear from him today, either. Maybe tomorrow we will get a call. I will say lots of prayers for all of our future sailors. . . . . .

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on December 5, 2010 at 1:25am: Praying for all the recruits health. I know we are all so looking forward to their PIR and made sacrifices to be there. HUG to all.
