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 Sailor Garrett's Mom DIV 158 on March 3, 2010 at 3:14pm: I just got off the phone with the PAO and division 158 is "Grad and Go" so they will be leaving on Saturday, April 17th. That makes me sad but am grateful for the time we will have with our son.

Comment by Peggy G on March 3, 2010 at 10:01am: You girls check out Navy graduation videos on YouTube and that will make you cry for sure, especially after looking at the Boot Camp (Part 1 and 2). Everyone looked casually dressed for graduation.

Comment by Michelle425 on March 2, 2010 at 10:17pm: Oh and by the way - my silly question - What do you wear to graduation????

Comment by Michelle425 on March 2, 2010 at 10:02pm: Hi Everyone - My son is Ship 13 Div 155 - We just booked the Ramada - for April 16th grad - received kid in a box and this week - the grad. info. Working on the flight. How is everyone holding up - I can finally talk about him without bursting into tears!! I hate the not being able to have any commuincation!!!

Comment by Lisa on March 2, 2010 at 4:26pm: LOL Thanks Angie! I am already on both of those sites, but I found this one with the same grad date so thought I'd check it out. Congrats to your sailor as well!:)

Comment by Lisa on March 2, 2010 at 2:51pm: Is this OCS class 13-10 with grad date of April 16th???

Comment by Sailor Garrett's Mom DIV 158 on March 2, 2010 at 1:19pm: I was wondering how soon we might be able to find out if our children will be "grad & go" so we can make plans for our travel, does anyone know how to find out this information ahead of time?

Comment by ER_Nuse32 on March 1, 2010 at 4:14pm: Ok...the people with School across the street....My nephew did...but there was not room for him yet so he didnt have to move. But some did...and its just a few hsr or so to get things sent over. THe grad and go's will be going off out of state.
So my nephew had liberty the same as all of them. Still on boot side...some still had to do watch too....so that will cut into some time...
Keep your fingers crossed that they get ALL the flags...if so they will get more liberty.
I didnt go tho the Ramada meet and greet...but will go this time..
My sister didnt do much on connecting on here...and I think it will be fun to put names and faces together...and celebrate our childen, wifes or husbands!!...

Comment by sacha3357 (Wife of an FC) on February 28, 2010 at 8:32pm: Becky, as fas as I know, about an hour after graduation your son with have to check in with someone, and then move all of his stuff to his new place, could take up to 5 hours. Then they could have liberty but might still have to check in by 9pm everynight and might have to stand watch at some point.
