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."

SHIP 12 DIV 306 GRADUATION SEPT 21. Anyone else?

Hi There,

I enjoy this site very much. Has helped me this week big time!  I'm having trouble finding a group who's kids reported July 30th.  My son arrived Monday, I got "THE CALL", I got "THE BOX" but I thought I'd have his address by now. I was hoping to chat w/ others who's kids are at the same level/report day as my son Zach.

Hello and congratulations to you and your Sailor. My Grandson graduates 10/5. Since you have recently been there I was wondering if you can answer this. Was the entrance you went into for PIR right on Buckley Rd or was it a different gate?

Thanks

I am glad to hear that things have settled down for 306. Maybe the bootcamp blues will go away soon.
