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 Ladybug<3 on April 4, 2011 at 11:26pm: I got my call a few hours ago also! :) a little late to post but I just got to my computer. We got to talk for about 45 or 50 minutes!! <3 it is so good to know that all their hard work is paying off! Congrats to new sailor families and good luck to those going through tonight!

Comment by TB1983 (HM, A School, GL) on April 4, 2011 at 11:09pm: My husband was interviewed by the FBI before he even left for RTC. ??

Comment by ProudSailorWife1208 on April 4, 2011 at 10:52pm: TexasMom, my husband is in Div 124 Ship 11 and my husband said everyone did great during Battlestations on Thursday evening but didn't say if everyone passed. So excited for Friday!! The hours go by so slow!

Comment by Jajajo on April 4, 2011 at 10:51pm: I don't think there is any overnight liberty. The sailors staying in GL still have to be back every night by 8 or 9 pm.

Comment by MamaMia on April 4, 2011 at 10:47pm: I'm not really sure they get overnight-maybe just extended leave. I'll talk to my daughter, who spoke with him today. I'm just getting on that plane and seeing what happens when I get there :-)

Comment by mumziepooh on April 4, 2011 at 10:45pm: Jessica - my son is going to be CTR - he had his FBI interview last week but nobody else has heard anything yet. As I understand it, the security clearance holds people back from classing up.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on April 4, 2011 at 10:22pm: Congrats to all the new Sailors. Can you believe it is finally almost here? Please travel safely and have a great time.
