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 diannep on August 15, 2011 at 8:26am: Just did, SailorsCupcake.

Comment by SailorsCupcake Div269 on August 14, 2011 at 11:32pm: Will someone with an SR in Div 269 send me a private message about when they will be doing Battle Stations? I'm pretty sure when it is... but I want to be positive. I didn't get the "memo" lol :(

Comment by Cathy_ProudNavyMom on August 14, 2011 at 9:34pm: Well haha I have so many other things I am busy worrying about, I think I'm just going to choose NOT to worry about this one!

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 14, 2011 at 9:08pm: It would be cruel to give them watch after PIR. Especially the grads who have so few hours with their families (unlike the grads that get the whole weekend off).

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 14, 2011 at 8:37pm: I have never heard of anyone being put on watch after PIR. RTC said that all graduates get liberty as soon as they call it, with the exception of those who are staying in GL for A school and have to go check in. So if your sailor is not staying there for their school, you get daytime liberty with them until they have to be back on base that night. :)

Comment by diannep on August 14, 2011 at 8:34pm: Cathy: Even after PIR, they are still under RTC rules/regulations until they move off the base...either flying out or moving over to GL base. So they could have watch, but let's hope not!

Comment by Cathy_ProudNavyMom on August 14, 2011 at 7:40pm: It is a terrible thought but seems more like they wouldn't do that because once they graduate, they are "out" of boot camp. Right?? Hope so!

Comment by trapier on August 14, 2011 at 7:24pm: We were hoping for a phone call today too..941, but no call. Well hope they are staying extremely busy to help pass the time.

Look forward to the upcoming week, for our letters.

Comment by Cathy_ProudNavyMom on August 14, 2011 at 6:55pm: I think we are planning on doing both - I will drive the car over early to get through security at the gate, and the others will join me a little later by shuttle. So they don't have to get up as early.

Anyone know of SRs getting watch duty on the day they graduate? I wouldn't think so but my daughter mentioned this in a letter that she is worried she will be assigned watch duty on that Friday and won't be able to spend as much time with us as we thought.
