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."

Hello Moms of PIR 2/28/14...Div 092, and other Divisions,

This is a FYI, I am not sure if most of you know that the (Facebook) page of the U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command has a wonderful page of tons of Division pictures of our kids in boot camp.How they post these is they throw out Trivia Tuesday questions,and the first one to guess it wins a published picture of a desired Division.I was fortunate to get a glimpse of my son,He is in Ship 14 Div. 092, so any Moms of this Div. Go look at it, you'll look at it over and over again as I have done.It's heartwarming :), and you Moms of other divisions,and Moms of Post graduates ,there are lots of pictures there.Go on and look, it will give you all peace of mind! Congrats to all our Amazing Kids!

Comment by DebW on February 25, 2014 at 7:28pm: I didn't know about this. My daughter is on your son's ship. I'm going to look it up on FB now! THANKS for the heads up - even though I didn't see this until late!

Comment by DebW on February 25, 2014 at 7:54pm: Another question - are we allowed to share the photos from the page?

Comment by lemonelephant on February 27, 2014 at 1:25am: DebW, yes, you can share those photos because they are in the public domain. Don't identify which particular recruit is yours to increase PERSEC when posting in a public forum.

Comment by DebW on February 27, 2014 at 1:47am: That's why I asked. THANKS! We can't get to PIR - her DH and kids get to use the tickets, dang them! LOL I will be watching it on the computer, though!
