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 there Beachmom,  I do have lots of questions.  When did you son learn of his base assignment while at FLW?  I understand he will have leave after he graduates from A school...is that true.  I'm also hoping they will give him some short leave for him to attend my wedding in August.  My SR can't wait to finish BC and move onto school.  I am also a first time military family so all this is so new to me.  My son is the oldest of four and his youngers brothers and sisters miss him terribly.  He has written home to tell them not to take family for granted and to help me out more....he's grown up so fast in BC.

Hi Beachmom! I am having a hard time finding the PIR 08/02/13 FB page. I am wondering if it is because I am on my IPad. Any suggestions? I want to make sure that I have everything we need before next week. Thanks so much!

My son is Nic Oliver, we live in Colorado now but we are originally from Tx. He will be going to CT for A school. If I remember right, your son is going to Tx, is that right? Hope they all stay well for graduation.

My son leaves for boot camp in 6 days. I am very proud of him. Have to admit I am nervous about him leaving.
