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."

He is ET.  We are staying at the Ramada and planning to attend  Sarge's Meet and Greet.  Are you planning on attending the Meet and Greet?

Click on OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and it will open in a new window. Read the Page and follow the directions at the bottom to make change 3.  There may be other changes you need to make as well (they are not obvious though), so read and consider each of the changes.

Hi:)   he is on ship 14 and division is 073:)))) Yeah!!!

Only your Sailor will know his particular flight details and he won't find those out until the week of PIR. If he flies out on Saturday any time, then the info in PIR Day and Liberty During PIR Weekend tells you how that works. If he flies out Sunday, then yes, he will have Liberty on Saturday.

Your SR will enjoy holiday routine at the RTC and a nice meal. They relax the rules on Thanksgiving and Christmas so your SR will be able to relax a bit, but no, he will not be adopted. The 01/03/2014 and 01/10/2014 TG's are the ones being adopted for Christmas.

My daughter left November 12, 2013. She was away for thanksgiving and now Christmas. Did you receive the Adopt A Sailor paper in the mail? You can read up on it, just google it. Families are allowed to check their recruit our for Christmas Day. My daughter will graduate 15 days after Christmas, she told us not to come. They will be adopted by different organization. In the area. They will be able to call on that day. We still have not verbally spoken to our daughter since that first night in bootcamp. I hope this helps
