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."

Wisdom teeth

Started this discussion. Last reply by TLC72 Dec 3, 2016. 55 Replies

My son will be entering BC very soon. I was wondering does the Navy automatically extract wisdom teeth even if they are not bothering the recruit?

It's not a good idea to post a pic of your Sailor every time you post. See change 4 in OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). To increase PERSEC, don't include ANYONE in your profile pic.

Also make change 3 (see the words in bold) so that this page is no longer visible to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web.

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you or your Sailor.

Since you have a Sailor, you can change "Waiting to leave for Boot Camp" above to "Enlisted." You can make that change on the same page when you change the ZIP Code.

What is your Sailor's rating (job/specialty) and/or where is he stationed (what vessel, if one)? There may be groups I can direct you to.

Hi Michelle,  I'm just checking in with you to make sure you are still coming to the Navy4mom breakfast on Thursday Sept 1.  It's at 0745 at "FirstWatch" restaurant in Cincinnati at 700 Walnut Street.  I had you down as a definite before it was firmly in stone so I just wanted to double check with you.  If you are coming, I need you to private message me your name and where you are from and your son s name rank and duty station so I can hand it in to the Admiral who is joining us.  He wanted a list ahead of time.

Anyone know if ship 12 has a division of 153. I believe I got the wrong information. My son sent his PIR letter to his dad and step moms house that is who he choose to live with. Anyway I just got my letters returned and the address they gave me was ship 12 division 153 3505 Sailor Dr. Great Lakes, IL 60088-3115. I know this is his step moms doing if it is incorrect. I really just wish we could all get along. Anyway can someone help me to see if this is correct or do I need to call his recuriter. Plus she is telling me that me and my husband will not be able to go on base or see the graduation. I know this is incorrect. Am I right. I am bringing his brothers and my husband. There is a total of 6 we will get to see the graduation am I correct?
