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 jeffiner-desert-wind on May 26, 2013 at 6:30pm: RCPS Quinn, hoping you get this message of thanks. My RP3 was so thrilled to see you at MCAS Iwakuni, he couldn't stop talking about all that happened that day. I bet that he didn't tell you that you were his inspiration while in A school and you still are Thank you!
Rear Admiral, he felt beyond honored in your presence. Thank you!
Thank you both for your help and the uplift and inspiration.
May The Lord always be with you and bring you continual peace And wisdom!
Very respectfully yours,
Mom

Comment by Abucking on May 20, 2013 at 1:26pm: Things are going well for Ez, too. He actually got 2 days of leave and I saw him here at home yesterday! It was great, of course.

Yes, I'll be at graduation. You see my picture here. How may I recognize you?

Comment by Chris(14/142) on May 18, 2013 at 9:57am: Amy, sorry I have not been in touch..some crazy life-style changes going on here...Johnathan has not said much either. Seems to be enjoying it and making friends. Anxious to get his orders (praying he stays on the Blue side). Will you be at the graduation on the 28th? We intend to be there.

How is Ezra doing?

Comment by FLmom on May 2, 2013 at 4:28pm: My son went to MEPS today and he will be leaving November 4 for boot camp. He is going to be a RP. We are very proud of him.

Comment by Abucking on April 28, 2013 at 12:19pm: Hello Betsy, my son graduated from RTC on 4/12, just before yours got there. It was a wonderful weekend in Great Lakes. You will be so very proud of him and all the others in his group. Please make friends on N4M with the Boot Camp Moms (if you haven't already) and it will make boot camp go very quickly for you.

He is in RP school now. It's not a long A school. He started April 21 and graduates May 28. And the best part is that he is only 1.5 hrs from us!

Chris, have you heard much from Jonathan about how school is going? I have not, but I consider that to be good!

Comment by Betsy on April 27, 2013 at 4:56pm: My son is at RTC he went in on April 15th. He's position will be an RP. He chose this because he will be studying Ministry in college. He has always wanted to be a Pastor. He loves sharing God's word and helping others find their strength in the Lord. His PIR date 6/14 we have made our plans to attend. I am so very proud of him, its just so hard being away from him.

Comment by PetSasso on April 6, 2013 at 6:50am: Becoming an RP was my son' FIRST Choice and he is absolutely thrilled that they were able to offer it to him! He is 20 years old and I have heard nothing more, since he was 7 years old, that he wants to share the love of Christ with everyone! He is currently a Sophomore in College, majoring in Biblical and Theological Studies. He will be going to BC on November 5th! <>/p>

Comment by Chris(14/142) on February 15, 2013 at 4:07pm: Thanks Renee E; I will do that.

Comment by Chris(14/142) on February 15, 2013 at 12:22pm: Please forgive my ignorance...I am not exactly sure what the RPs do. I understand there is clerical work (oh boy! paperwork, my son's specialty!!) and that he will "support" the chaplain and act as bodyguard...Can anyone fill in some details?

Thanks!

Comment by miss3269 on February 15, 2013 at 12:15pm: My son will be there about 8 weeks but classes are about 6. They were there two weeks before classes started waiting for another group to come from RTC to fill the class.
