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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2010 at 4:35pm: Tysmom, Shhhhh!!!! lol We didn't hear you say that. :)

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2010 at 4:32pm: Anti M, thank you for the advice on the leave papers. Knowing my son, he will probably hand them directly to me. lol

Comment by TysMomKY on November 30, 2010 at 4:31pm: I was told that they could change from their uniform ONCE they are enroute home by car. ????

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2010 at 4:30pm: Susan, yes can you believe we are already talking about BS? Woohoo!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2010 at 4:29pm: Aim, thank you, that's the what I thought too.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2010 at 4:28pm: Donna, From what I've been told, they will have all that information in their Orders when they leave Boot Camp. I have been told that they will need to wear the uniform for their trip home and then to their A school. I think when they are in the hotel PIR weekend, you may be able to bring clothes for them to relax. At home, I'm pretty sure they can wear their own clothes.

Jessica & Dianne, please correct me if I am wrong here.

Comment by Aim on November 30, 2010 at 4:27pm: I asked the uniform question on the RTC faceookpage, they replied saying he MUST wear unniform on ride home from RTC, once home he may wear civilian clothes, he MUST travel from home to A school in uniform.

Comment by NC_Susan on November 30, 2010 at 4:26pm: Wow. Crazy to think they are almost at Battlestations!! Susan

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 30, 2010 at 4:25pm: **********Ladies,**********

When you hear from your recruits on the dates for their Battlestations, please let us know what is the date they begin. If your recruit is Div. 019, then that will also be Div. 020's date and so on. They do them as brother/sister divisions. We would like to add the dates to our Battlestations discussion, so please let us know as soon as you hear. If you talk to your recruit again, please ask them if they know when it starts Thank you! **********
