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."

Comment by Lab1 on April 3, 2017 at 6:09am: Good morning, My son shipped out on 3/27

Comment by Lab1 on April 3, 2017 at 6:16am: I am very new here. I hope when you say shipped out, that you mean left for boot camp.:) Some things that I read, I have no clue what a lot of it means.... My son left for boot camp on 3/27. Did your son leave then, for boot camp?

Comment by The1Book on April 3, 2017 at 9:30am: Oh my, I am so very sorry! I meant left for boot camp. Thank you for pointing that out to me. I really should edit that post. I am like you, new here also, and I am still trying to deal with my son being gone from home, not an excuse for the wording.

Comment by Navy Girl's Mom on April 3, 2017 at 12:03pm: My daughter left for boot camp on that same day. I have received her box but still haven't received the form letter with her address.

Comment by lemonelephant on April 3, 2017 at 11:19pm: I left info for you on your My Page.

Comment by lemonelephant on April 3, 2017 at 11:19pm: BTW, edit your Blog to add a Post Title. When you don't include a title, the NING program automatically puts the first 200 characters of your post in as the title and that gets pretty long. Click "Options" in the upper right, then "Edit Post" and insert a title.

Comment by Janet on April 5, 2017 at 12:00am: My son left for boot camp on 3/28. We receiced information yesterday that the graduation date will be May 26. He is in ship 14 Div 162. This is my second son to join the navy. My first joined in 2006. We attended his graduation also. If you have any questions I'll try to answer them.

Comment by lemonelephant on April 5, 2017 at 1:16am: Janet, was that info from the recruiter or The Form Letter? If it is from the recruiter, then wait on The Form Letter before sending letters. Check your My Page.

Comment by Proud-mom on April 5, 2017 at 1:44am: My son also left on 3/28. I got both the box and the form letter on the same day. Looks like he is in the same ship as your son, Janet. :)

Comment by lemonelephant on April 5, 2017 at 1:47am: Keep checking PIR: May 26, 2017 TG 29 and join when it is up.
