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 sammy1990 on February 5, 2016 at 11:24pm: they have one minor (by instructor standards) obligation left. bs. bs is a rite of passage, but no one really fails despite the threats. (you really have to work hard to fail, and if you are the one in a million you simply repeat the next bs). anyway, since they know all they need to do bs they are sitting around waiting. reading, chatting with the staff, standing watch. do you have any idea when the next bs is? why are there no Graduations for 2 weeks?

Comment by Lorraine on February 5, 2016 at 11:18pm: Lol, meaning do the holding div work on BS stuff??? Do they work with the div that's going to graduate???

Comment by sammy1990 on February 5, 2016 at 9:25pm: they wait. lol. but it's a more relaxed wait. Diane should be able to tell you when the next bs is. tell him to go right to the nex after bs and buy a "go phone". the unlimited texting will be freeing! congrats.

Comment by Lorraine on February 5, 2016 at 9:18pm: My son called (scripted call) said he pass the swim test. He is now in a holding div until BS. Will call with info soon. ......what do they do in the holding div???
