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."

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on December 26, 2010 at 9:56am: Penny, I agree with you. My son was ready to go. I'm sure he misses home but I know how excited he was to get started on his future.

Smithsixstring, my son is Nuke too. Will he be going to Charleston or Pennsicola?

Denise, We got snow too. Yuck!!!

Comment by Denise on December 26, 2010 at 8:54am: Woke up to snow in South Carolina this morning!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 26, 2010 at 4:27am: Six string, my son is also a Nuke but haven't heard yet if he is grad n go or not. Also six, what ship and division are you part of?

Comment by smithsixstring on December 26, 2010 at 2:05am: Forgot to add that he is signed for the nuke program. He said he has to be at the airport at 3:00 am early Saturday morning. We will get 9 hours with him Friday, drop him off at the base and meet him at the airport at 2:30am. He did say to bring his cell phone and will send a list of other items to bring. He also said he would get some time to travel 4 weeks into school but could only travel 400 miles. Ship11/Div054

Comment by smithsixstring on December 26, 2010 at 2:00am: Got a call from my son today!!!!Great to hear his voice but found out he will be grad & go. It was the best Christmas present I've ever received. He is great and said his division is doing awesome. He said they are like family now!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 26, 2010 at 1:03am: Congrat, Alisha. I'm so happy for you.

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on December 26, 2010 at 1:01am: Ladies, yes our boys miss home but we must remember that most went there with a clear picture in mind. They went there to be part of the best Navy in the world. While our days can be spent missing them, I really do not think they are living minute to minute in sadness. They have an inner excitement that drives them into the next day, the next week and then then on to PIR. that is only the beginning of their job ... The beginning stage will then be over and the real training now begins.
