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 Grasshopper on February 2, 2010 at 12:50pm: David..I get that a lot! LOL

So is that unusual to find out the first day that's what he's been chosen for? I thought they found out around the 4th week. Is this a good thing? How can I find out more about PRP's?

Comment by Grasshopper on February 2, 2010 at 12:18pm: Sheila-Proud Mom of MAA...My son just got to San Antonio and started class yessterday. He should get his cell phone today but I noticed after he called me last night he posted a message on Facebook that he was going to be PRP after A School. Can you or someone else help me...what does that mean? How could he have found that out so quickly? Where will he go from San Antonio?

Comment by Tabitha on February 2, 2010 at 9:15am: OH YEAH: wishing all of our sailors good luck on night fire later this evening =)

GO NAVY!!!

Comment by Tabitha on February 2, 2010 at 9:15am: Good Morning Everyone =) So, now a new countdown begins....only about 33 hours until we get orders!!!

Comment by Tabitha on February 1, 2010 at 8:47am: Yes, Tess: I am so ready to find out! Good Luck to all of our sailors =)

Comment by lemonelephant on February 1, 2010 at 12:09am: Welcome. It can be anywhere from the next day as it was for my sailor to 2 weeks or more for a class to form. (Sorry guys, I can't seem to spell tonight and erased this a couple of times.)

Comment by katekal (Ship 10 Div 70) on January 31, 2010 at 8:49pm: my boyfriends name is Patrick Denault. He keeps calling me off of the cell phones of the guys hes rooming with (he's probablly called me over 6 times today!). He said hes rooming with two other guys.
