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 dorielee(Ship14Div313) on June 6, 2011 at 5:44pm: Laura- from what I've read and heard from my girlfriend whos Son graduated from GL April 1st and then went to Penscola, she was able to give him black back pack at the airport with his stuff.

Regarding A-school at GL.. I thought he can bring with him back to school- I need to find out for sure.

Comment by Laura Bennett on June 6, 2011 at 3:42pm: I think if you give it to them at the airport it's ok.. ?

Comment by sandie on June 6, 2011 at 10:05am: Might check it out dorielee...I read the recruits cannot take any personal items back to base...all personal items will need to be shipped to their A school..I will bring come civilian cloths for Corey and his phone but it all has to come back with me....just fyi...of course if his A school is at Great Lakes might be ok.

Comment by dorielee(Ship14Div313) on June 6, 2011 at 12:49am: FYI- I'm,sure you figured out that my profile picture is Gage! so exciting.... I'm just a little on edge as if he just left for BC- I can't wait to get to Chicago. Getting his list together and packing his stuff for A-school- he requested some Civilian clothes, ipod, cell phone and a new Mac Pro laptop...

Comment by mynavyguy on June 2, 2011 at 11:46pm: I hope the next 14 day flys by... I am bored out of my mind! It's pretty darn quite at my house. I don't like it!

Comment by dorielee(Ship14Div313) on June 2, 2011 at 10:56pm: Gage received 5.0 on all during Hellweek and the Division as a whole didn't do so well.. which lead them to IT 5 different times last week.

Comment by mkwatros on June 2, 2011 at 10:24pm: Yeah Joey said he got a 5.0 as well. I didn't hear anything about them failing! I started to get nervous when I heard that.. I thought maybe that's why I hadn't gotten a letter in a while.
