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 Navymommalyn on February 1, 2011 at 7:42pm: LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 Now this is what his recruiter told him so it's not set in stone but most likely he's staying in GL's for A-school.I'm waiting on his letter's so I know what's going on before I make any travel arrangement's for the whole weekend..

Comment by navymalespouse on February 1, 2011 at 7:40pm: My wife shipped out Jan 17th. I still have not received anything (package, call or letter) like a lot of other people have with later ship-out dates. I know her PIR because of the website....is this normal?

Comment by diannep on February 1, 2011 at 6:46pm: Rosalinda: You will find out at a later date. Your SR will be told if he is GradNGo to Tx. Probably in the next couple of weeks.

This is the correct link to get to the 2/4 page later this afternoon to witness their "I'm a Sailor"calls. They start coming in after 2 pm GL time usually and go for a while.
