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 maggie (ship03 Div.027) on February 7, 2011 at 6:41pm: Also, today when I checked his bank account, $46 had been deposited. This is crazy.

Comment by maggie (ship03 Div.027) on February 7, 2011 at 6:40pm: I had mentioned in a previous comment that my sons pay on 2/1/11 was quite short. Less than a week of pay. I have asked him about it a couple times. I told him to go to his commander but I think he is afraid to. I don't know what to do.

Comment by Nancy on February 7, 2011 at 4:36pm: Betsy- I was thinking about you this morning. Hopefully he gets a lot of cards! I just mailed mine yesterday, so he will get them for a while. :-)
((HUGS)) to you! I imagine it is really tough. I an not looking forward to my guy's birthday next month. I know I an gonna bed as mess!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 7, 2011 at 2:20pm: Penny, ((Hugs)) to you. I'm sure today was bittersweet and brought back some memories for you. Thanks for sending A a card, I know that will make him happy. Did Cj ever say if he got all of our cards?

Comment by CJ's Mom on February 7, 2011 at 1:46pm: Well I sent Tk off on his flight already this morning. Go figure one Navy DEP leaving today one tomorrow and one on Wednesday.. Why could they not go together.

@ Lori I am not sure if I understood correctly but the Army Recruits can keep their cell phone at Basic and use it to make a weekly phone call home. Hear that WEEKLY - not sure if that was true. But that is what the recruit I was talking to today said. BTW the Captain who swore in my son in October also swore in TK today and he remember me. Hmmm I wonder if that is good or not. Anyway it was a sad but good day after all.

Comment by CJ's Mom on February 7, 2011 at 1:38pm: Betsy.... Hugs to you..... I too had spent CJ's birthday without him for the first time. It was hard as well. I sent him a card. Hope it gets it today but probably tomorrow. Maybe you all can skype today and get a virtual hug

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on February 7, 2011 at 12:03pm: Good Morning ladies, Well, today is my A's 19th birthday and I didn't realize that I would take it so hard. I'm a mess. This is the first birthday that we have spent apart. :(

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on February 7, 2011 at 3:20am: Also, in addition to following the speed limit, talking/texting on your cellphone while driving on base is prohibited. Texting while driving is illegal in all of San Antonio (new law just passed) ...Not that any of you ladies text/drive at the same time ;)

Comment by CJ's Mom on February 7, 2011 at 12:32am: Anita does that mean you will have to make sure when your on base not to be speeding...

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on February 6, 2011 at 10:11pm: Anita: N can't find hot fudge pop tarts in SA? I just ate some. :P Let me know if he needs help finding anything in town. :)

This is my first baby - totally scared/nervous/excited. Already got my hospital bag packed. I'll add & message you.
