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."

Thank you cheryl!!

Hi cheryl87,  admittedly I am facebook challenged but I can't seem to find this NRTC facebook page.  Any help would be appreciated.
http://https://www.facebook.com/NavyRecruitTrainingCommand?sk=app_2...  Lee Ann, I hope I did this right.  Do you have Facebook?  If you do, and this link doesn't work, go to your Facebook page and type in the search column U.S. Navy Recruit Training Command.  It should come up.  They have pictures of Friday's PIR.  Hope this helps.  Cheryl
Thank you Cheryl I found it.  I don't think my son was in the pics but he did say he was in it fancy drill team.  :-).  I got to talk to him today it was so awesome.
Got to see a picture of my daughter singing at the graduation yesterday!
Absolutely wonderful texasmom!
That is so exciting!! I am very happy for you!

WOW - I just looked at the FB page for Navy Recruit Training Command and there he was - our son, Jacob, dead center of all the choir at yesterday's PIR. So great to see his face.

 

Something I really really like about the Navy - their communications department is really good about posting comments, photos, tweets, blogs, news and articles. I follow @navynews on twitter and subscribe to a few Navy FB pages and the Navy's online magazine and the Marine Times online, too (since we have both Navy and Marine sons)

 

Anyway, maybe some of you mom's would like that as well.

 

Anna, I bet it was wonderful to see your son.  I wish I could have seen mine.  He said he is doing rifles and would be performing at the PIR, but didn't see him.  Loved the pictures though.:)
That is so cool!!!!  My daughter's in the choir as well, but I didn't see her in the pics.  I also got a letter yesterday and it said that they were moving them around a lot doing different stuff, so she didn't know if she would be in the choir or doing something else by the time their graduation rolled around.  But, I keep looking LOL!!!!
Awwwww, my honey is not a performer, so what would he be then? Will I still be able to see him in any pictures? OMG only 18 days I sooo cant wait. I miss him so much. and YAY for everyone who did get to see their loved ones in the pictures.
If he doesn't play an instrument or in the choir then he might being doing one of the flags, or he could be standing guard in the stands.  He also could be a "catcher" which they just go down the lines and literally catch the SR's that fall during the graduation ceremony.
