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."

I really hope your son pulls through his ankle injury and is fine for his upcoming pir. I do know that they work very hard at helping them to grad on time for everyones sake. They say no news is good news so if you did not hear anything, assume everything is fine. Good luck to you and your son.

Hi, I am a new member, I wanted to say congrats to all of our recruits

My son left for bc on june 1st. ship 10 div. 253. I have received some very encouraging letters from him,
This has been a lot harder on me than I thought it would be. I miss him so so so much. I cry all the time. I did not realize we would not get many phone calls. I only got 2 phone calls so far. I am counting down the days we get on a plane and get to that graduation on the 30th. Can anyone tell me if they are grad and go when would they be informed?

Just wanted to give update on my son's div. and the grad and go information, I was in work today and just had to take a few minutes and see if I can find out for sure. I called the public affairs office and the nice man on the phone confirmed that my sons div. is not grad and go.....I was very grateful. Thanka again for all of the advice.
