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 Karleen ship 3 div 221 on July 4, 2011 at 9:10pm: My son wants me to bring his backpack with his lap top and cell phone and a few other items to the airport when he leaves Sat. morning. Is he allowed to take those to "A" school with him?

Comment by sbenfamily on July 4, 2011 at 9:07pm: Thank you so much nicole. Packing, cleaning, making lists like all of you! Terrified I will forget something! I sooo appreciate all of you adding things when you think of it. Several things I had forgotten and your reminders have all helped! Cameras too everyone!

Comment by nicole020809 on July 4, 2011 at 9:00pm: sbenfamily: i asked TSC and they said they can have their clothes with them, but they just cant wear them until phase 2. but that they can bring them and keep them in their room

Comment by sbenfamily on July 4, 2011 at 8:58pm: My daughter has liberty and goes to A school at Great Lakes. Should I bring her any civilian clothes at all? I know a few things to wear around the hotel room but can she take any to A school? She said bring laptop and cell phone.

Comment by Karleen ship 3 div 221 on July 4, 2011 at 8:09pm: My son called again today! Its the third call I've gotten since battle stations. He said since they pass they are getting more privileges. Today he said I am suppose to get a letter that has graduation stuff in it and a parking pass. But I thought we just printed that pass off from the RTC website. Any ideas on that? He also said after graduation they have to change out of thier dress whites to the tan uniform. I was looking forward to walking around town with him in his dress whites.
