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."

At 6:53am on March 31, 2010, RTC Command Master Chief said…
Graduated Sailors can experience delays going to follow on training for a number of reasons. Some are awaiting results from special physicals, clearing problems with security clearances, clearing minor pre-existing legal issues, etc.
These types of issues may cause some uncertainty with regard to departure dates as we often are waiting for information/clearance from entities outside of Recruit Training Command.
Some Sailors are delayed by a few days due to class-up dates at follow on commands.
Some depart nearly immediately due to class-up dates at follow on commands.
These Sailors know what the exact departure date is (in the orders they receive).
The vast majority of graduates depart with a few days of graduation.
I hope this information helps.
