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 Sparkle_Mary on December 7, 2010 at 12:08am: I don't know if I will do the meet and greet yet... I am trying to decide.. it really will depend on how I feel when I get there cause I HATE taking cabs,

Comment by Lynne on December 6, 2010 at 11:13pm: Well Megan, you can rest assured that the RTC will either know you are a very prepared person or they may think you have quadruplets...not sure which but either one is good...lol

Comment by Lynne on December 6, 2010 at 11:12pm: IT...other known as punishment for some horrible crime committed by some terrible recruit such as OMG talking out of turn, leaning again the bulkhead (the wall), not sitting up straight at chow, shifting their eyes side to side instead of staring straight ahead, not making it to the toe line within 90 second fully dressed after wakeup call (could you do this) or some other equally aggregious behavior...just thought i would put it in perspective...lol

Comment by Kim of Virginia on December 6, 2010 at 9:49pm: Megan, I mailed it directly to my son. I emailed it Friday afternoon and my husband faxed it this morning. I just got home and received a confirmation that they received my Friday fax for my "Sailor". They did not say Recruit ladies, they said Sailor. lol

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on December 6, 2010 at 9:25pm: Got it. Intensive training. lol

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on December 6, 2010 at 9:16pm: What is IT'D. I'm try to learn all those terms as fast as I can but....what is this please.

Comment by Suzanne on December 6, 2010 at 6:41pm: proudmom - I just tried the site athttp://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/upcoming_grads.asp and it works. They just posted the links for the 12/17 PIR. We are next!!!!

Comment by proudmom ship03 div028 on December 6, 2010 at 6:19pm: I know that I cannot print out the passes yet but I have been able to get on the website up until this last week. That is why I am worried about not getting on. Hopefully my coputers will cooperate when the time comes. Is anyone else having problems getting on the website and looking at graduation dates?

Comment by Megan- [ship 02, division 906] on December 6, 2010 at 1:15pm: sacred's mom- where did you mail the itinerary to? your son or the RTC office? I mailed it to my husband directly. I'm wondering if I should express mail another copy to the office?
