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 caylex 9/279 on August 16, 2011 at 2:20pm: For those of you that sent/are sending a large envelope for the SR to send home all their letters, is the regular manila ones okay? And is this just so we can keep their letters safe for them, or is it because they are not allowed to take them to A School?

Comment by Kira's mom Ship 02 Div 941 on August 16, 2011 at 1:58pm: She is going to Pensacola, Florida

Comment by tysmom on August 16, 2011 at 1:49pm: It may be for the job she is going to have. Certain jobs need security clearance. We needed proof that our oldest son was a citizen because he was adopted from a foreign country, but this was after boot camp.They do check!!! Especially when you have a job that is of importance to national security.

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 16, 2011 at 1:49pm: I think it does; Cory is IT also, going to Florida?

Comment by Kira's mom Ship 02 Div 941 on August 16, 2011 at 1:48pm: Sandi, What is your SR's A school? My daughter's is IT. I don't know if it depends on what A school they are going to.

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 16, 2011 at 1:48pm: I had to look up so much info for him... Lol he calls me and goes "Hey babe, I needs some numbers and addresses". "OKay, I will email them like I did the last ones?". "Well I kind of need them now while I am on the phone..."
I had to get 2 teachers, the high school football coach, the college, and the personal info of the apartment manager. Lol

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 16, 2011 at 1:43pm: Cory called alot at the beginning for them but he said he had his clearance meeting weeks ago..

Comment by Brenda72 on August 16, 2011 at 1:37pm: I never got any of those calls for clearance....

Comment by Kira's mom Ship 02 Div 941 on August 16, 2011 at 1:34pm: Received a phone call today ... kind of. My SR needed more phone numbers of people that went to high school with her for security clearance. I can't believe they are still doing this. She called several weeks ago a few times for names and numbers of people that know her for security clearance. Has anyone else been receiving calls for this still? Is this normal? I don't know why she still doesn't have clearance.

Comment by BrendansParents on August 16, 2011 at 1:03pm: I'm staying at the Ramada near the base and they offer a shuttle service to PIR every week so we're covered there. I was mostly worried about getting from O'Hare to the hotel without costing me more than the room did. I know it's about 40 miles according to the brochure I was sent and I'll be traveling in my wheel chair and I know from experience some cab services tend to charge extra for larger vehicles.
