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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 24, 2011 at 2:26pm: Oh that is so sweet Laura, I know you will and I am so glad you love them.

Comment by Laura (SHIP07 DIV056) on January 24, 2011 at 2:15pm: Lala I got my ribbons saturday omg they are beautiful I cant look at them anymore because all I do is cry.We will definitely wear them with pride .Thanks ! :)

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 24, 2011 at 2:14pm: Can almost feel the testosterone from GL right about now with both 055 and 056 being all male ... oh yeah, you know it !!!! Talk about one BIG HOOOOYYYAAAAAHHHH when they get done!

Comment by Penny_Nuke_MM2_NimitzNuke on January 24, 2011 at 2:12pm: gvnavydad, mine isn't worried at all about it either he simply says, "we'll pass". And I am sure that they will. Haven't heard, however, about the swimmers and if they made it. I know that my son would be wishing he could be there to help them but not sure they allow "coaches" !!! I think I will go out to the "deppers" forum and remind moms that if their kids can't swim .... THIS IS THE NAVY, WE ARE ON A SHIP SURROUNDED BY WATER, go get some lessons for your sons/daughters NOW before they enter boot camp.

Comment by SANDY ship07div056 on January 24, 2011 at 2:11pm: Grumpy - ohhhh I'm crying again in my pork chops and potatoes! I may have to borrow this one.

Comment by gvnavydad-ship011div057 on January 24, 2011 at 2:09pm: Well said Laura...you ladies are amazing.

Comment by gvnavydad-ship011div057 on January 24, 2011 at 2:05pm: I am sure the calls will start soon and...well apparently a whole lot of shaking will be going on based on phone placement. Trying to say this gently, but it is funny. :-) My son wasn't even slightly worried about battle stations. I am sure all of 55 and 56's boys (these are the all male division right?) will be calling soon. Can't wait to hear those smiles beaming through your posts.

Comment by Laura (SHIP07 DIV056) on January 24, 2011 at 2:05pm: Ladies this is who we are

I have carried a child within my body,I have kissed boo boos ,mended broken hearts,been puked on and peed on ,I have been woken up in the middle of the night by a feverish child and more.But I wouldnt have it any other way.My body is not that of a super model but when I look in the mirror I see a strong,loving ,nurturing,hard working mother with a child in the NAVY.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 24, 2011 at 2:05pm: Sorry for the type-o's This crazy phone has it's own skills.

Comment by diannep on January 24, 2011 at 2:04pm: Sandy: You are in for some welcome relief when he is in A School because the restored communication is wonderful!

Penny: Just be ready for possibly "TIRED" in his voice...the I'm a Sailor call...because they are very tired then (up for clost to 36 hours then)! My son had been "energized" by an energy drink by then so he was ok...but still I could tell he was tired. But it didn't matter....knowing I was talking to my sailor boy was fantastic! His call from Ricky Heaven a few days later (having a pizza party) --he sounded much more excited then! And you have one smart guy there, Penny! Good for him to almost score a perfect score!
