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."

Welcome families and friends of Salilor Recruits with PIR THURSDAY, December 29, 2011.

OPSEC, OPerational SECurity, is always of the utmust importance. Please take the time to read the Opsec and Community Guidelines. A quick note here: Last Names are never allowed on this site. If it is different from your Recruits it is still not recommended. First Names and pictures of your Recruit are allowed but discouraged as their RDC's read this site and can easily match them up with their "mom". So you might want to consider changing your profile picture.CLICK MEOPSECandCOMMUNITY GUIDELINES

Comment by Proud Mom_Ship09/Div023 on December 31, 2011 at 1:09am: My son is going to Great Lakes for A school. We still have 2 days to see him.

Graduation was awesome..

Comment by ProudStep-Mom on December 31, 2011 at 12:37am: My daughter will be in Great Lakes for A School as well. We are very excited about her job and look forward to all that she will be learning! We have such a blessed time being with her the past couple of days and will be very sad tomorrow to part with her. I am hoping that we will be able to come out and visit her again when it warms up a bit. Otherwise we will have to wait till she completes A school to see her.

Comment by MzSnapCup-Ship03/Div025 on December 30, 2011 at 11:07pm: Graduation was awesome!!! I'm so glad to have my son home, if only for a few days before he heads out to A school.

Comment by navymom2011 on December 30, 2011 at 5:38pm: Mine has A school in Great Lakes , he is going to be a machinists mate, what about your son? What division was your son in?

Comment by Presleysmom on December 30, 2011 at 12:44pm: My son is staying at Great lakes for A school anyone else.
