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."

Have you all received a BattleStations date for this division?  If so, can you friend request/private message it to me?  I have received one but want to get confirmation that it is correct.  I'm keeping a schedule of the dates.  Thanks!

Hi diannep,  now I'm  not so sure with the recent announcement made by RTC. Looks like we may have to wait until the next batch of letters come our way. Thanks!

For those of you that have SR's going to Pensacola for A school, let me know. There is a facebook group that you can be added to that was created by alimsz. I think it would be great to stay connected after graduation. It is made for our PIR group and includes all divisions.  Only 10 more days!!!

Hi Cathie, can you also send me the link please? Last I heard, they leave for Pensacola the morning after graduation. Is that true?
