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 January 13, 2011 at 11:34pm: Hello Everyone, I check daily to see what is happening with everyone. My son is in Pensacola (airman) and he is doing well. He is the process of completing each of his phases. More privileges with each phase. He is not allowed a computer or TV at the present time. Only a cell phone. We text back and forth everyday.

Comment by Nancy on January 13, 2011 at 11:31pm: Cindy, I just tried sending it again. Don't know what the problem is. weird!! :-(

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 13, 2011 at 11:20pm: Cindy, if you don't get the invitation this time, I would just open a Yahoo e-mail account and use that just for the group.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 13, 2011 at 10:47pm: Cindy, does he go from 1500 to 2300? He might be in A's class.

I'll try again with the invite.

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on January 13, 2011 at 10:22pm: never did get a email...It still didn't work Betsy...from you or Nancy :o) ...;o( Wierd!

Glad to hear from you Elizabeth...and Hugs to you, some days are worse than others! "E" gets to start School tomorrow, and sounds very excited!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 13, 2011 at 8:36pm: Elizabeth, I'm so happy to see you on here again. So sorry that T is having homesick moments. I know that must tug at your heart strings. ((hugs)) I think that the idle time is hard for them to handle, especially after all the busy time at BC.

If you pm me your email, I will try to send you the link to the Yahoo page. I tried to send it to Cindy last night and it wouldn't work, but I'll give it another try.

Comment by ElizabethC on January 13, 2011 at 8:10pm: Hi everyone I'm here :0) I don't get much computer time at home so I'm usually trying to catch up on all the posts via my phone...not easy :0( I think my T is a little homesick school hasn't started and today he found out that he is being pushed back another week or 2 he actually seemed ok with it but I think the idle time is hard for him I know he's ready to get moving. I have to admit I've had a couple weepy moments of missing him lately so helping him with homesickness has been a little hard for me thankgoodness we've been texting so he's unable to hear me break down, this letting go thing is really for the bird. Ok enough with all that, it sounds like everything is going good for everyone and that your Sailors are all doing well. What is the yahoo calendar? My phone doesn't show the fridge so I can't see the yahoo calendar either...seez I really need to kick everyone off the computer don't they all know I have to catch up with my Navy Mom's if someone can send me the link that would be great.
