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."

Click on OPSEC and PERSEC (Making Changes to Your Profile) and the Page will open in a new window. Read the Page and follow the directions at the bottom to make change 3 (see the words in bold) so that this page is no longer visible to EVERYONE (Anyone) with access to the web. Don’t forget to click the “Save” button at the bottom.
I suggest "Just My Friends" since you have included pics on your My Page.

There may be other changes you need to make as well, so read and consider each of the changes.

Another change that I recommend that is mentioned in change 1 is to change the ZIP Code to one that is not easily associated with you or your Sailor.

Hi Laurie...took me a week or more to get back on here, but wanted to say, I agree...June 8th cannot get here fast enough...one more month to get through! I finally got a couple of letters and a phone call from my SR, which made my day! She is doing really well, apparently does the laundry for her entire group plus is in charge of boot shining. I guess that JROTC experience did come in handy finally! Are you going to the Sarge's Meet and Greet on the 7th? I signed up, and will go to find out more about what my daughter is doing...or by then, what she had been doing! Have a good week!

Hi Laurie, my son left for boot camp 4/12 and is going to MA school after. He actually got a phone call home on Sunday and told me he wouldn't be doing PIR until 6/15 because he hadn't even been through medical. I guess it's a matter of timing. I'm figuring since he didn't get there until Friday really, no more recruits were coming in so he was in a holding pattern. I added you as a friend. Our sons should be in MA school together. Let me know when your son is assigned a division.

Welcome. You will probably be receiving the form letter this week as a few with loved ones who left early last week have. You mentioned that your SR will be going to be an MA. You will want to join San Antonio MA's and MAA Moms sometime between now and the end of BC.  Other groups you may want to join are PIR Reference Information and New Members Stop Here.  Take care and blessings to you and yours.
