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 diannep on April 22, 2011 at 3:27pm: Yes, I agree with ochaos. Because Photo Pkg A, when ordered by the SR, has The Keel (yearbook) thrown in for free. Pkg A and the PIR DVD together should cost about $169.

Comment by ochaos on April 22, 2011 at 1:14pm: When writing to your recruit tell them about ordering the photo pkg A and to order a DVD and then if they want something extra that is up to them.

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on April 22, 2011 at 1:14pm: I know that's the only one I couldn't really tell.

Comment by Brandis_Mom on April 22, 2011 at 1:11pm: ProudMomma- when I look at the blue flag in front, that middle number almost looks like a 4 can anyone else see it better... I think I have wishful thinking that my daughter is right there in front, but husband keeps saying the blue division flags middle number is a 4.

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on April 22, 2011 at 1:03pm: That is so awesome.. I am so happy for you. If anyone see's div. 178 please let us know. Well, any div . for this group..

Comment by 1ProudMomma on April 22, 2011 at 12:52pm: On their Face Book page upper left hand, click on the photos, then they are in the photo grouping for April 21, 2011. There are two photos of their division because I recognize my daughter beyond ANY doubt.

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on April 22, 2011 at 12:46pm: Where? I looked at them. Where is 174?

Comment by 1ProudMomma on April 22, 2011 at 12:39pm: I checked out the photos on Face Book and I'm positive that I see my SR! Thank you so much for letting us know! She is division 174. I'm so excited I have goosebumps!!!
