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."

Please, please remember before you post: our sons are part of a Special Operations community, even while in training, and it is vitally important to form the habit of not divulging any information that could possibly compromise the safety of any of their members. This would especially apply to names, dates, places, procedures, etc. You might like to read the "Discussion Forum" titled "OPSEC" for some guidance. If you are still in doubt, please ask one of our members for their opinion by private message before you post. We are here to help each other, but we must be careful at all times.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on December 15, 2009 at 1:32pm: slimkim, I'm SO happy you got a letter. I hope you didn't stalk the mailman too bad! LOL We used to joke about that in my PIR group along with duct taping the phone to our hand so we would never miss that call!

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on December 15, 2009 at 1:30pm: Welcome HalfofaWhole, I hope you know your name will end up with a nick name! Just about everyone's does. Your bf is goin SWCC? That's awesome. There are many posting now with upcoming PIR. Are you going to attend? If any Boot Camp ladies need PIR advice there is a lot on this site. Just ask and someone will have the answer/advice.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on December 14, 2009 at 1:25pm: slimkim, your son's PIR is 12/30? Try not to worry, we always say "no news is good news." They keep them very busy those last weeks.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on December 8, 2009 at 10:49am: It sounds like there quite a few who will be classing up in the next month or so. I'm thinking they will all be together whether they are in Great Lakes now or already in Calif. Let's keep in touch as we go through this journey.

Comment by Tee-1sailor's mom on December 6, 2009 at 2:49pm: Thanks dn for that. I'll be sure and pass it on to my son. I know he has organized PT with everyone he can find who's still waiting. Great adivce. My best to your son, and hopefully he'll be back to SWCc if that's what he still wants. Hi everyone, We need to support each other as our boys go through this program, it is tough!
