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 there, I am new to this group. Is it possible for boot camp SR 's to be hosted for the holidays? Just got my first call from my son today and he was really upset about missing Thanksgiving and asked me if I could hook him up with a host family for Christmas. Hope to hear from someone soon. Thanks!

Kristina-  That's ok.  My son and 192 other SR'S went to a local church for a Thanksgiving feast and R & R.  When we went to his PIR 12-03 we went to the church and thanked them.  Are there any Sailors at SANG we would love to have ya.

This is a wonderful group! I'm here in NH. I don't think we have much of a base left and I'm an hour away but if there is a sailor that needs a 'home' for the holidays we are here. My sailor son will be home for Christmas. He is just finishing A school.
