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 04harleyswife on September 26, 2011 at 7:44pm: Mine is still on hold at Great Lakes awaiting school to start. He also eats cleans and chills out. But today he started working out.

Comment by tygerh on September 26, 2011 at 6:16pm: My son is sooo bored in Pensacola. He says he does nothing but eat, sleep, and clean. Wish he had cleaned when he was home!! Oct 22 is such a long way off for him especially in a place that is unfamiliar to him.

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 26, 2011 at 5:19pm: Or for San Antonio! :)

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 26, 2011 at 4:04pm: Oh yeah...I saw that one...TOO funny!!! But it also makes me remember where I was not long ago. I don't think I would have asked about holidays off during boot camp, but hey! LOL

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 26, 2011 at 3:58pm: OMG - I need to stop going to RTC's page, I about died laughing.......

"When in A-school, do the sailors get holidays off?"

These people have NO IDEA this is the military...not the private sector. Sometimes I really feel sorry for some of these people. Not a clue...

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 26, 2011 at 12:37pm: Wow now that's just CRAZY to me!! Sorry to hear about your son sheshe! He'll heal up real quick though, I have no doubt!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 26, 2011 at 12:35pm: sheshe - don't be surprised if he gets a letter about damaging gov property...NO JOKE! I know a guy, Army - was playing basketball, broke his wrist - got a letter about him damaging gov property (himself). Crazy...
