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."

March 1st Shipout

Anyone here whose husband/wife/son/daughter/other left for Bootcamp on March 1st??
My husband left from Dallas the morning on March 1st, and called me to let me know he made it at 2am the next morning. I'd love to hear from someone who has a relative in his group!

Aw that sucks, I am sorry! But yes it is a definite plus to be able to join them asap. Have you made moving arrangements yet? I thought I would wait and talk to Brent at graduation and then plan from there whether or not I was flying. I have to unfortunately stay in California 3 weeks after graduation because I am finishing up school here. But at least at that point I will be able to talk to him!

Hi, My other half shiped out March 1st as well. I have been studying abroad in the UK this semester. I thought I missed him when I could still talk to him but this is so much worse. I know they can only write on Sundays but I still havent heard from him. Im starting to wonder if they let the recruits mail letters overseas. Anyone know? He is in Ship 10 Division 170, anyone else? Oho he is the nuclear engineerin program to, do they group together the guys in the same programs?
