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 Mom of Joshua, the MA on March 14, 2011 at 1:36pm: Ooooh CC0 - I LOVE Charleson, SC!! I've only been twice - stayed on Isle of Palms once and Folly Beach the second time (Folly Beach is MUCH more affordable!). My sisters and I go on a "girls-only" trip every year - since our mother passed away eight years ago, and Charleston is definitely on my, "I wanna go again!" list!! lol

sherrys - from what I understand it's Personnel Reliability Program (PRP) - someone correct me if I'm wrong!

Comment by sherrys on March 14, 2011 at 12:37pm: What is PRP?

Comment by CC0727 on March 14, 2011 at 10:05am: kelly mcd - my son graduated from SA in Feb and is also a prp @ kings bay.

MAs Mom - thanks for the great info on Kings Bay. I will be making the trip down at the end of April so that is good info to have for planning excursions. My other Sailor (they are twins - both MAs) grad in from SA in Feb also and is in Charleston SC, so road trip here I come!! : )

Comment by Mom of Joshua, the MA on March 14, 2011 at 10:00am: Welcome Redfly - and congrats to your son!

Comment by Redfly on March 13, 2011 at 9:32pm: My son just got to San Antonio yesterday. He graduated on Friday from bootcamp.

Comment by Mom of Joshua, the MA on March 11, 2011 at 11:23am: Kelly - you're very welcome! If you have any other questions, just ask away! I'll do my best to answer - or find out where to find the answer! I'm in the Atlanta area, but I have a feeling I'll make a few more trips down ;0) ha! I'm always ready to go the the beach!

Comment by Kellymcd11 on March 10, 2011 at 10:12pm: Thanks MA'smom I copied your post to word. Sounds awesome

Jennyd, He graduated top of his class so he got to choose between Washington base and Georgia.

MountainMama: I to beleive that if it is meant to be it will be. I am a firm believer that things happen for a reason. Good luck to your son I will say a prayer for him

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on March 10, 2011 at 6:33pm: Thanks jennnyd. I pray everyday "Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done" in my life and the lives of my children. I know that God has a wonderful plan for my son and "all things will work together for good" for him.

Comment by jennnyj on March 10, 2011 at 4:35pm: mountainmama- im sorry about your son not being able to go prp anymore, that is what my boyfriend is trying to do and im praying he gets it. but everything for your son will work out how it is supposed :)

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on March 10, 2011 at 12:10pm: My son qualified for prp and was really wanted to get a prp billet, but he got strep throat and was set back a week. The group he is now with was told that there would be no open prp billets for them. He is really disappointed. But, I told him that God is in control and will work things out to be the best scenario for him. He agrees, but still disappointed.
