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 Kathy on June 29, 2010 at 8:30pm: We're just going to catch our flight and hope for the best. If he's doing BS21 tonight and doesn't pass then we've wasted our flight, won't get to see him while we're there and won't get to see him graduate if it's later, we just can't afford a second trip. My fingers are crossed.

Comment by 20100510navymom on June 29, 2010 at 8:22pm: For those of you who haven't gotten the call yet.....I was skimming the last PIR group 6-25 and some of them did not get calls until the evening prior to the 25th!!! Also my son said they had to do a lot of things and he didn't know when they would get sleep. I am sure you will hear if not tonight then tomorrow! I know it is hard to wait. It was hard for me to wait. Good luck and God Bless.

Comment by 20100510navymom on June 29, 2010 at 8:07pm: http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/ click on families, click on graduation click on honor graduates or anything else you are looking for.....

Comment by Navy_Wife on June 29, 2010 at 7:53pm: Thank you for all of your restaurant recommendations! Everything is really appreciated Hoppi aka Angie :)

Can anyone access the RTC website yet?

Comment by Kathy on June 29, 2010 at 6:45pm: Hoppi aka Angie - Is there anyway of knowing if Ship3 Div 234 did Battle stations. We're scheduled to fly out Wed. at 6:00 am. My son said they had Battle Stations Mon/Tues, prepping for graduation on Wed. I assumed it was BS21 Mon. into Tues but could he also have meant Tues pm into Wed am? I'm concerned because of our flight and the possibility if he doesn't make it through BS21. Thank you too for all you comments, they have been so helpful to read, and reassuring.

Comment by proudmom2be09 on June 29, 2010 at 6:35pm: A big congratulations to all who got the phone call today!!! Very anxiously waiting for mine...Div. 233!!

Comment by Carolinagirl125 on June 29, 2010 at 6:29pm: Does anyone know how many divisions participate in BS21 at once. I am guessing that div 231 and 232 have gone. Anyword on div 233????

Comment by 20100510navymom on June 29, 2010 at 6:28pm: Got my son is a sailor call! Thank goodness I was home because he called the home # instead of my cell. He said he was soooooo tired he didn't remember any #'s except for home. He sounded very excited for the PIR! Time of call was around 3pm pacific coast time. Congratulations everyone!
