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."

Comment by Otter1765 on December 22, 2014 at 2:34am: Hi everyone. My son left for BC Dec 8th, his PIR is 2/6/15.

Comment by Dana (David's Mom) on December 2, 2014 at 12:25am: She should go through it again, either another division that hasn't gone yet this week or wait a week for the next PIR groups that are going through. My son says it's not that big of a deal and saw many that failed, went again and graduated with their division.

Comment by ProudMomHappy on October 31, 2014 at 1:46pm: Looking for the parents of a "Paul" on Ship 04 Div 038. I am not sure if you are on this site but I would like to talk to you. It looks like I will be adopting him for Thanksgiving and thought you could send a care package I could surprise him with. If you are out here. Please private message me with last name to confirm for privacy reasons.
