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."

CTSailor..... thanks for sharing. My hubby said no new letter today either :'(

Hi, my son is in ship 03 div. 118!! I cant wait for april 13th so I can see him!!

Spring- There's always tomorrow! They were supposed to start writing on Sunday, Tuesdays, and Thursdays this week so there is still hope! My boyfriend mentioned that his rack mate was on watch during holiday this past Sunday and he felt bad for him that he wouldn't be able to write to his wife... maybe your daughter was on watch on Sunday too? 

I created a group on facebook  For Ship 03 / Div 118.   Still learning how to use it but here it is..

http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/369301209757003/    It is a closed group so others on facebook don't see messages.

Do I need to add a friend request to be on the private Facebook page?

ocMom- Thanks for creating the page, it looks great :)

I'm on facebook and can' find the group or where to find it...help

Did you use the link above that ocMom posted? If you click on that link (and you are already logged into Facebook) it will bring you to the page...click "ask to join group" in the top right corner

Hello Ladies and gentleman...... Hope you are all well and getting letters. In three weeks we will be in Great Lakes, at M&G's trying to contain our excitement like a kid on Christmas Eve!!!! Looking forward to meeting all of you.

Well, looks like I will be asking to be a member of this group.  I got a call from my son and he has been pushed back two weeks.  I am really not even exactly sure what happened.  :-(  He was scheduled to graduate this Friday.  Now, it is the 13th of April.  Bummer!  I was so looking forward to seeing him this week.
