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 proudksmom on November 29, 2010 at 5:13pm: Thanks soo much Lynne!!! I appreciate the info. :)

Comment by jessica (ship 09 div 015) on November 29, 2010 at 3:06pm: Hahahaha that is so funny about the 5-6 pairs of shoes. I think i am bringing 3-4 pairs.

Comment by TMH (Ship 9 Div.14) on November 29, 2010 at 2:35pm: Good luck today for those with Battle Stations today! Go DIV 14 ~

Comment by diannep on November 29, 2010 at 12:59pm: chanmom: Sometimes those going to GL are not GradNGo and don't move that first day....they stay on RTC for a few days and then move over. Ask when he calls after BStations if he is GradNGo and you will know how to plan.

Comment by chandlersmom on November 29, 2010 at 11:48am: Oh maybe more are needed? Ha

Comment by redchaos(SHIP 09 DIV 010) on November 29, 2010 at 11:39am: chanmomship: And what is wrong with 5-6 pair of shoes??? You are, after all going to be there 3-4 days...right? lol!

Comment by chandlersmom on November 29, 2010 at 11:35am: Good luck to Div 11,12,13 and 14 tonight!! I will be worthless Wednesday at work waiting on yalls posts or Chandlers call to say "I'm a Sailor"!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wonder if pictures will even be posted from Thanksgiving at the Museum because of security reasons? I wish I could have seen some!!!

Comment by chandlersmom on November 29, 2010 at 11:33am: Not sure if he is Grad and Go? I read on the Recruit Training Commnad page that if he is to attend school in GL then after graduation we can hang out and go to the museum on base and eat on base until the contacts us and that it could take up to 5 hours. I am flying so I hate to add anything else to my packing. I am one of those who takes 5 or 6 pair of shoes ha ha!!

Comment by diannep on November 29, 2010 at 11:24am: chanmomship: He should be able toget his address once on that base. Is he GradNGo? If so, he should have the address when you pick him up after he moves over there. If he is moving after you leave, he will have to call you with it.

HOWEVER: Take these things with you! Because....you can store them at Lock N Go lockers until he is on the base to get them (i.e., not GradNGo but moving a few days later). Safer to have them there in a locker if need be.
