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."

Make change 3 at the bottom of OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) (clickable link). There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

You will also want to join GL A-school moms. You can also check out the Training Support Center (TSC) Great Lakes Facebook Page. The Rating Information Card for GM can be found at https://www.cool.navy.mil/enlisted/rating_info_cards/gm.pdf. You will be able to enjoy extra time with your Sailor following PIR. (See PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend.) Take care and blessings to you and yours.

Thanks for liking my photo.  It is still my favorite to this day. Since it doesn't really show their faces I've always thought it would make for a fabulous greeting card.

Hi proudmom! I saw the picture on the Recruit Training Command facebook page. My SR is in the 923 division and performed at Friday's graduation. He will also perform this Friday as well. There are many pictures of boot camp and I've been looking every Monday (that's when they post new photos) to try to get a glimpse.
