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 Brenda72 on August 22, 2011 at 10:34am: Ok, thank, was trying both places so I could get an answer to send it off today so he will get them by Friday. :)

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 22, 2011 at 10:23am: Brenda, you could try asking RTC on the facebook page. you might get your answer faster.

Comment by Brenda72 on August 22, 2011 at 9:52am: Does anybody know if the recruits can receive something via UPS...I want to make sure my son gets his contacts.

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 22, 2011 at 8:52am: Good morning! And what a beautiful one it is here at the lake.

I'm so excited for those getting their calls later today!

Comment by diannep on August 22, 2011 at 8:41am: caylex: They have chores, etc to do after the capping ceremony so they don't call until usually around 2 pm GL time...or later. Phones ready all day today though for the 4 divisions that went last night! HOOYAH!

And yes, KylesMom is correct. They sign a confidentialty paper (or take a pledge? Can't remember) to not disclose all that went on in BattleStations.

Comment by Debera1952 (SR Kyles Mom) on August 22, 2011 at 8:35am: Waiting for our "I am a Sailor" call. Phones at our side. Thank you to all those who were part of our son's training and showing him just what he is made of. With that said God Bless the United States Navy and God Bless America.

Comment by Doreen(07/272) on August 22, 2011 at 7:44am: Our son called his dad around 4pm cst. He called me at 4:30 (I was stuck at work). He said he was exhausted.

Comment by kiminaz (ship 11/div 274) on August 22, 2011 at 12:17am: Thanks Kyles Mom for the words of encouragement! That actually makes me feel a little better hearing someone say that if they didn't have it then they wouldn't have made it this far! Good night all - my candle is staying lit for all tonight!!
