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 Huggy on September 6, 2012 at 10:22pm: The Starboard Watch Section Leader (SWSL) shall serve as the division's watchbill coordinator. Watchbills will be prepared and subsequently submitted to the RDCs via the Recruit Chief Petty Officer.

2. The Port Watch Section Leader (PWSL) shall coordinate the rotation of the ship watchstanders with the RDCs.

Comment by KWL's mom on September 6, 2012 at 9:08pm: Huggy: what is a Star(board) watcher?

Comment by Glo Mom of Future Officer on September 6, 2012 at 5:40pm: I don't know if I'm going to get a call today, but I did receive a letter. He seems to be doing great. Do any of you know of the job Hanger PO? His writing is not greatest, so I may have misread what he wrote.

Comment by MommaG on September 6, 2012 at 2:52pm: How great it is to hear his voice. So strong, so sure of himself. It made my heart soar to know that he was doing well and getting so much out of this experience. Can't wait til graduation to see the man he is becoming.

Comment by Navygirlfriend19 on September 6, 2012 at 7:55am: It's not alphabetical. My boyfriends first and last name both are at the bottom of the alphabet and he called yesterday. I think they just split it somehow and let some call yesterday and their gonna let the rest call today

Comment by Glo Mom of Future Officer on September 6, 2012 at 7:23am: My SR's last name is in the bottom half. I'm am sad and I hope my prayers are answered today and I receive the call that you all got yesterday. I'm am so happy for all of you. I'm just sad for me.

Comment by Proud NAVY Corpsman Mom on September 5, 2012 at 10:55pm: Got my call at 1730. They must have been given a time limit because we only spoke for about 30 seconds and he was able to call his dad and leave his gf a message. I think it may have been alphabetical too as mine would have been at the top also.

Comment by KWL's mom on September 5, 2012 at 10:44pm: He called, and I missed it. I don't know how it was possibe. :( I have had this phone right beside me for Days. It is ALWAYS in my pocket. He called his grandparents and his dad. I decided he had to make a choice and decided to save the "I'm a sailor" call for me. Sadly, when he left, I got a new phone. My old one wasn't working well, and I didn't want to miss a call. So I bought a new one. :( I am unfamiliar with it, and didn't even realize my SR had left me a voice message. The good part is: I have his message to listen to over and over.

Comment by sharpmom4 on September 5, 2012 at 10:05pm: I think only two are on watch at a time But again, my son said there were only 30 phones or so and there are almost 80 kids in division. My sons last name is right up there in top 5 of alphabet... Would they have taken them in alpha order?
