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."

Hi Resa!  My daughter-in-law has been gone this past week, so hopefully she will have her Deers and ID info when she gets back in town today!  Yes, the older guys need to stick together and help each other out!  LOL.  Hopefully, we will start getting some mail this week.  I think Sunday would have been there first day to be able to write from everything that I have read.

Thank you all.

We have already made all of our plans, so we are ready to go. Just counting down the days.

My Daughter Nichole is in DIV 165 also, we are really missing her. She is really excited about being in the Navy, we support her 100%  We want to make plans for PIR but I think Its a little early yet. We cant wait to get to Chicago and see her.

I am also holding off making any firm plans; just in the planning stages.  I think once they are 2 weeks out; then it is pretty much a go!

Hi!  We have exchanged posts on the RTC page.  My son's wife hasn't heard from her husband yet and neither have we.  We are hoping that maybe one day this week.
