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."

Thanks! :-)

Morning Ladies,

 

I have not heard anything either but you best believe my phone is going with me wherever I go for the next two days, my phone is my my BFF...LOL

 

Anyways, enjoy your day and I'm sure we have nothing to worry about because they all passed so its all good to me.

My boss let me work from home the last two days because I missed every one of his calls... so I am not leaving this house until I get that call...

 

And I better not miss it or it will kill me... I have to talk to my hubby!!!!

 

I'm so excited. just 6 days... I leave in 5 :-)

Thank you ladies for being a great support. I know I'm not on here a lot... but I do read the comments and they help me quite a bit.

Any calls yet?

nothing yet......

 

thank you!

I am just so nervous I'm going to miss it, because I missed the last 2 calls. :-(

I'll be so excited to hear from him, and I am sure he will be excited to talk to someone from home, especially his wife :-)

He has also tried his mom every time and missed her as well.

Poor guy.

I expect a call any minute!
I have butterflies sooo bad...
well, my phone has been ringing, but not from him. I'm not going to answer my phone unless it's an 847 area code or else I'll miss his call. Unless he's calling his Dad first...could be the case! I'm really surprised not a one has heard a thing.....we'll see....I'm just slowly packing for my trip. I leave early Monday a.m.....and will be gone a Month....so I have lots to do...
Hey 285 just got a Sailor Call! so hold on....hopefully were next

I just got a call, but not him... just an FYI when I missed his call on Sunday it was from an area code in nebraska because his calling card routed it that way...?

First time I missed his call though it was 847 on that calling card, but I don't know...

i'm on the phone with him now!!!!!!
