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 Teddy's Mom/PIR 12-3-10/S9-D11 on November 16, 2010 at 9:51pm: Can anyone help me out with the American Red Cross number to call in the event of a death in the family? I can't seem to access the Navy Recruit Training Command website right now, and the number I wrote down earlier seems to be disconnected. I would appreciate any help ASAP! Thanks!!

Comment by allie(Wife of BenEM) on November 16, 2010 at 9:20pm: Emily and Ms Sherri,

Yeah ben said the same thing about not working too well as a team. He said its tough because everyone wants be a leader. Too much testerone I think lol. But he also said they do so well in everything, and he knows they will pull through BS21. :) ahhh I cannot wait!

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 16, 2010 at 9:06pm: i just got 2 letters from my boyfriend he said he will be a grad and go so i am changing plan.. not going to PiR anymore... i was so excited but hmpppp annoyyyeeeedddddddd!!!!!!! but he said he will be home for christmas and when the div see our pics that we're kissing they all cheered him up and no one believes that his hair is long before he enter boot!!! :)

Comment by MsMaria68 on November 16, 2010 at 9:01pm: Thankyou I hope that when my son call me on the 25th I remember to ask him if he did that!!! He doesn;t like pictures LOL

Comment by MsMaria68 on November 16, 2010 at 8:46pm: Have any one order the pictures? Can you tell me how to do it or I just need to sen the money to my son?

Comment by Sherri_M on November 16, 2010 at 7:55pm: i guess that's why they are doing practice and did the Marlinspike? That way they know what to expect...kinda at least...and now that they know with a performance like that they will not pass...maybe that will move them into high gear! Also....maybe got to big for their britches?? Maybe they thought since they were doing so well, they could do know wrong....yes...this was probably a good thing to have happen!

Keep me informed when you know...been thinkning about ya'll alot!

Comment by Sherri_M on November 16, 2010 at 7:44pm: Emily...that's so funny...well, not really, but kinda since they are winning all the flags and are in the Hall of Fame and got the indepent marching flag...???.....I thought they were doing pretty good...Michael didin't mention anything to the likewise....well, let's hope they get the teamwork down before BS...I'd hate to think they'd fail and have to retest...so Let's think positive!
BTW...what's Nate going to do now???

Comment by diannep on November 16, 2010 at 6:45pm: Emily: HOOYAH that he knows they will pull it together by BattleStations time....so many of them do it...I find it so amazing what the RDC's accomplish with so many recruits of different ages, backgrounds, abilities, goals, etc....but when they march into that hall on PIR day---it is so obvious that they are a "team!", It is amazing....so glad that your recruit KNOWS this and is focused on that prize!

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on November 16, 2010 at 5:46pm: anyone get phone calls today? my son thought they would get short call today, according to his last letters, but nothing yet! :(

Comment by cakemom on November 16, 2010 at 5:16pm: I forgot where to go to print out our parking passes, can someone tell me again? I can't beleive it is almost here!
