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 Jennifer T. on June 22, 2010 at 6:44pm: I got another phone call today! 17 min. The next call should be next Wednesday after battle stations!! I can't wait!!! : )

Comment by Jennifer T. on June 21, 2010 at 7:33pm: My boyfriend is in Division 235 as well and from what he is saying we will have time together after P.I.R. until 10 p.m., then he will be getting on a plane sometime Saturday (morning probably). That's what he is saying still not positive that's whats going on. In life I have learned that NOTHING is permanent with the military but the fact that they own you. : ) Anything can change in the drop of a hat. I'm just glad I'll get to see him. : ) He also said he did well on his inspections and his P.T. test. I believe zone is there bunks. I hope/ know everyone is counting down the days (17!!!) I got a letter today, I'm so glad he is staying positive threw this adventure!! : )

Comment by heis63(NUKE MOM) on June 21, 2010 at 6:07pm: I got it mixed up because in one of his letters he said he was a grad and go...

Comment by heis63(NUKE MOM) on June 21, 2010 at 6:06pm: sorry... I was mistaken My son leaves Tuesday for goose creek. He has told me so many different things I can't keep it straight. Thanks

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on June 21, 2010 at 5:49pm: Got a letter today dated 6/17. He had their second PFA and Marlinspike. They also had three 'graded' inspections -- PI, WTI, and zone. I assume PI is personal inspection, but what is WTI and zone?

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on June 21, 2010 at 5:23pm: Just click on the hyperlink (the words Grad & Go Info that are underlined in blue) in the comment box below this one, and it will take you to that group. My sailor will be so proud that I figured this out without having to text him for directions!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on June 21, 2010 at 5:18pm: I am hoping to create a link to the Grad & Go Info group, this is my first attempt at doing this!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on June 21, 2010 at 5:04pm: G&G: Just because one person is a G&G in a division, doesn't mean the whole division is that way - although quite a few recruits in the first two divisions of a PIR group will be G&G's.

heis63 - Click on "groups", then in search box type: Grad & Go Info (just like I typed it). I haven't learned how to create a link and post it yet (my son the computer geek is in the Navy and can't help me!!!). Worst case, friend me and then you'll see it on my profile page in the list of groups on the left - click it and you're there!

Comment by mn linda (nuke MM ELT Groton CT) on June 21, 2010 at 5:00pm: I think I read that a division can be split with some Grad & Go and some not. My son told me that he leaves for Goose Creek, SC on Tuesday after graduation.
