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 diannep on November 23, 2014 at 8:49am: Good Morning! Hope all have a great Sunday!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 23, 2014 at 2:54am: Oops, forgot this...

The reason you may not give personal items to those Sailors who are attending A school elsewhere is that no civilian items ,( even food or snacks) are allowed back onboard RTC.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on November 23, 2014 at 2:51am: If you're new Sailor is attaching to TSC GL for A school then you will be able to give their cell phone (don't forget the charger!) to them later on PIR day when you pick them up from the Main base. You may also bring them other electronics , undies (no more tighty whities and granny panties!), and a few civilian clothes. They won't be able to wear the clothes right away but usually are allowed to store them until they can.

If your new Sailor is flying out elsewhere to A school you may not give them their cell phone or other items on PIR day (they have to have room in there back pack for the items, so just one pair of civies, again they won't be able to wear them right away anyways.) BUT, you may meet them at the Airport when they get there and make the transfer then. Sailors are bussed to the Airport in Groups in the wee hours of the morning between 1-4 AM. All go at the same time regardless of when their flight is. Your Sailor may not know their itinerary until a day or two before PIR, so you won't find out until you see them at PIR. Make sure to ask them to write it down for you.

Airport, Flight time, airline, flight number, possible arrival time at airport.

Please do not share your Sailors itinerary publicly, it is considered "movement" of military personnel and to do so breaks OPSEC.

When my Husband came back from both his deployments he gave me the leave date in code (it was still approximate even then) and more details once we were on a private line and he was on US soil.

Comment by gbfuturewife on November 23, 2014 at 2:08am: Does anyone know if we bring their cell phones to them at graduation or if we send it to them once the get to A school?

Comment by navygirlfriend11 on November 23, 2014 at 1:16am: 20 days left!! :) can't wait for a phone call on thanksgiving!

Comment by diannep on November 23, 2014 at 1:02am: Thanks for posting, navyjeep! We N4Moms veterans are wondering where everyone is in this group! Hoping that some post tomorrow!

Comment by navyjeep on November 23, 2014 at 12:14am: A little slow...no phones calls this weekend, I guess. Our SR suggested we wouldn't hear from him till he calls on Thanksgiving. They're heading out with a church group and he thinks he'll be able to FaceTime with an ipad. That's so very kind of whatever group is adopting them for the day and I hope they know how much it is appreciated!
He said that he would know his exact nuke rating as of last Monday and I'm so curios to hear how it came out!
Hope everyone that's heading there for Thanksgiving has a safe trip and a lovely visit. For the rest of us, hope we get a sweet phone call full of good news!
Btw, just found our SR on Facebook page from rtc you posted here earlier! We couldn't believe it! Wow, what a treasure! Thanks so much!
