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."

Recruit Questionnaires

Here are some I found on the site, thought it would make it easier if they were available here. I will add more as I find them. Here is one question I found hilarious, re-worded a bit for sharing purposes:

When you have to use the bathroom, what happens? Is it like school, where you raise your hand and ask to be excused? Do you have to _____ ("drop a deuce" "go #2" "take a ___", or however your recruit refers to this bodily function) along with hundreds of other recruits that are also dropping their kiddos off at the pool?

HA! I love this one. Actually, my son told me that if you had to go to the bathroom, it wasn't a problem. They weren't hard in his division on the recruits with that. But I guess it depends on how often they ask? Interesting to see what the recruits will say.
Sorry about the mixup on the 2 PIR groups. Couldn't figure out why no one could get into yours??? But something was wrong somewhere. Thanks for trying! Glad you joined this one!

Happy 4th to you too!
YES...finally...RAIN! What a difference it has made in the temps to me. Still HOT but much more bearable to me now. My lawn and plants are happy too! Glad to see that S. Florida is finally getting rain...and hoping that we don't get the oil in the surf...so tragic....
