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 Terry_T_Tuckersmom on November 4, 2010 at 9:05pm: ElizabethC-you can call the Public affairs Office and I think the number is on the website recruit training command

Comment by ElizabethC on November 4, 2010 at 8:41pm: Ok still no letter....which is making me crazy. I read the post about them being able to take leave then I read another post below that says we nor they can make transportation arrangements....ok then does the RTC make travel arrangements? I just want to call someone and ask questions but who do you call? Ok I'm officially losing my mind, if anyone has info please let me know.

Comment by proudmom ship03 div028 on November 4, 2010 at 8:34pm: I got my letter today. I made my husband read PIR date to me. He would not read the rest because I started crying. It was nice to see his handwriting.

Comment by Hoosiermom Ship12DIv.036 on November 4, 2010 at 8:31pm: Mary I have a brandnew computer and the virus protection won't open the spreadsheet. it said it contains a virus or spyware or some other bad thing. Can you tell me what it says, in general. Do we know if Div. 036 is in our PIR group yet or not? Anybody?

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on November 4, 2010 at 8:24pm: Just picked up my copy of Honor, Courage, Commitment tonight...just read the forward and I can't wait to read more!

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on November 4, 2010 at 8:19pm: I'm so happy for those of you who have received your letters...I,unfortunately didn't get mine yet! Starting to make me a little crazy! I have sooo many questions...like if they come home for leave after the 12/22 PIR, can they come home with us? We are driving and it would be sooooo much cheaper if we could drive him home with us! Oh my goodness...the thought of having my family all together for Christmas just hit me hard!!! I didn't think it was going to happen this year!!!!! I pray for some info soon!!!

Comment by Nancy on November 4, 2010 at 8:18pm: On my MAC it went to downloads and popped up in a separate box. Took a while though.

Ladies, what do we know about buying tickets for our recruits? My husband found a clause in the letter we got TODAY (YEAH!!!...finally) that neither they nor we are able to buy transportation tickets. Maybe they have to buy their tickets through the base somehow.
