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 Rob(ship12 div.219) on May 25, 2011 at 10:58pm: some lady named TamiS or Tanis I left that group it was boot camp moms.

Comment by Rob(ship12 div.219) on May 25, 2011 at 10:40pm: I ain't no creeper but obviously you have been around enough to have the audacity to call someone a creeper without knowing them. I was just making a point. Didn't mean for words to sound like that.

Comment by Rob(ship12 div.219) on May 25, 2011 at 9:04pm: I am staying here, but this lady named Tanis told me to go to the one for guys instead of this one. Screw that I like this one lol I get along better with women than I do men for some reason. I'm not all that attractive and don't say I am to make me feel good it won't work. I just have that vibe about me that woman like to talk to me. Where men I always argue with. Don't get it. But not leaving.

Comment by Lisa on May 25, 2011 at 8:34pm: Rob, we're so glad you're here, please don't even consider leaving!

Comment by Karleen ship 3 div 221 on May 25, 2011 at 7:10pm: Don't forget if your recruit is in Ship 3 Div 221 we have a group for our division as well. Please join.

Comment by diannep on May 25, 2011 at 6:44pm: Rob, men are always welcome on here! We get dads/husbands/bfs often. As great as Navy for Dads is....they KNOW the REAL info is right here! :-)

Comment by Rob(ship12 div.219) on May 25, 2011 at 6:27pm: Ya know even though this site says navy for moms. If thats the case then why do numerous woman tell me to come here and do posts cause there are plenty of men on here. now all of a sudden I am being told by only one female to go elsewhere. Sounds like someone is being sexist to men.

Comment by diannep on May 25, 2011 at 5:31pm: MidWestMom: HA! I totally agree! Humor certainly DOES help to get through this time for all on this site, for sure! It's just I have been on this site for about 1.5 yrs, and some of the things I have seen posted...YIKES! DELETE DELETE DELETE! Lately, the groups have been very respectable with what they have posted...but last Fall...geeez....some of those groups just were playing with fire! If an SR has to do pushups until the RDCs finish eating the brownies that his/her mother sent (obviously not knowing what would happen), you can imagine what would happen with some unkind words directed that way.

Yep, it is not an easy task to take SRs from all walks of life, different parts of the country and even different countries, and turn them into a "team" of sailors. The RDCs have my utmost respect for all they do for these SRs. Around Week #4, the SRs start realizing that the RDCs really want them to succeed and that much that is said to them is to motivate and pull from within them things they never thought they could accomplish. PIR is when you see how well they accomplish this...as they march through that big door as a division. Remarkable!

Comment by joel's_rackie on May 25, 2011 at 4:44pm: “People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily.”
