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 1stlove (02/946) on August 16, 2011 at 1:04pm: yes welcome all new moms....we are all in the same place ups & downs......we all should be geting real close to some form of real communication. So lets remember to post everything cause from I hear they do calls by division which is premature but the more we know the better prepared we are.....so by division calls get made so once somoene gets their first call we can start watching and waiting for ours......Here we go starting week three....so excited I just prayed for all of us....

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on August 16, 2011 at 12:49pm: You are definately in the right place - welcome!

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2011 at 12:10pm: Welcome, ZZsMom and Chandler'sMom! Yes, TG is what RTC uses for: Training Group, as KariAnn said. Glad you are here! Please look through the discussions above for some great info!

Comment by GlowWormMom on August 16, 2011 at 12:06pm: Hi ZZs Mom I think we are in the right group my Daughter is Ship 12 Div 325 PIR 9/30/11 I have been told TG stands for Training Group.

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2011 at 7:55am: desireenavygf: It is a navy tradition to burn a blue candle for your SR/sailor during times where they are taking a test, deploying, returning home...basically whenever you are thinking of your SR/sailors. During bootcamp we like to do it during BattleStations, but it is strictly up to you when you burn yours! Some use the electric candles as well...to eliminate the fire danger! :-) Any blue candle will do...your choice!

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2011 at 7:53am: To the person who disclosed her SR's last name. Please post your comment again, without the name, so others can read it. We had to delete it because last names are prohibited on this site.

Comment by desireenavygf (Ship 11 DIV 322) on August 16, 2011 at 7:52am: Good morning ladies have any of you heard about the burning a blue candle tradition during battle station??if so can I get more info about it please thank you

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on August 16, 2011 at 7:51am: Thanks Dianne!

Comment by diannep on August 16, 2011 at 7:47am: Yes you are, aggiemom! Good catch! And we strongly suggest you all don't use first names either...your comments connected to your SR are not necessarily a good thing! RCDs do read these pages...

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on August 16, 2011 at 7:45am: Hey girls - no names please - you can use first names - maybe - but no last names. It's against the rules of the site. Am I right veterans?
