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."

I must have missed this picture earlier, but I want to say I just love it. That is how my whole family looked when we left after O week. Everyone was crying. We think we are so ready......whew. It was tough. Thanks for sharing such a moving picture.

My son loves University of Colorado Boulder. He is a sophomore studying Aerospace Engineering and likes the NROTC program - other than the early mornings...

I'm going to University of Idaho this next year. How big is that unit? Any idea how many girls are there, because I heard there aren't that many.

This is my son's unit. There were about 75-80 in the unit at the end of last semester. There are probably about 10-15 girls in the unit. Sorry for the rough numbers, but hopefully it gives you an idea.

Hope you love it there. U of I is a beautiful campus and the Unit Staff are top notch.
