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."

Sunday was awesome, to listen to all the stories. I am sure I will have stories at some point. It was great to get to know you all as well. Looking forward to doing that again or a dinner.

Hi Eileenz - Just saw your friend request.  Sorry responded so late.  I hope you got the answer you needed regarding your sailor.  Did he fly out of Midway or O-Hare to go to Pensacola?

PIR was awesome.  Just let me know if there is anything I can help you with.

You are very very welcome!  So glad you had such a wonderful PIR weekend!  It was amazing, right?  Blessings to your sailor on his continued Navy journey!

I did get a phone call on Wednesday! It was great :) I also got a couple more letters that day as well. So that made my week! Everything seems to be going great, he is just home sick and misses his little man. He really likes the guys he is with. I was looking for our division chat thing but I could not locate it... Is it gone?

At 10:38pm on April 13, 2012, Bee1128 said…

Yay! I'm so glad you got a letter. Hopefully mine will be in the mail tomorrow! I am glad he hit it off. I know that made you feel a lot better :) My husband probably is one of the ones he hit it off with, he is a really great guy :)

Hi - I think it's ok to use the name of the sailor recruit as long as it's only in private messages. I know you can't use last names. I also might be wrong here - oops!
