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."

Hi my son's PIR is 7/31/15. I am a nurse working in home health care in Florida. He has been calling more often which is very helpful.

I'm a NICU/Peds Nurse, in my 10th yeae of nursing. My son arrived at boot camp 6/24, PIR date is 8/21/15. I work nights. Don't know if the exhaustion is good or bad! Sometimes being tired makes me over emotional. Missing my boy pretty badly today. Heard one of his favorite songs that he often played on his guitar, on the radio on my drive home this morning.

Hi my son arrived at Bc on june 10th! I'm a PA-C in ohio! I was a firefighter and paramedic previously! Currently I work in the ED as I feel it's like a second home! I have worked in picu/Icu/ccu. I received the box a couple days ago, waiting in form letter to know exact pir date!
