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 Sue-Pillowcase lady on August 26, 2009 at 12:02am: I will be in a craft fair November 14th.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on August 25, 2009 at 10:50pm: FC (Fire Control) is part of AECF (Advanced Electronics & Computer Field). We had a AECF group here. Mary is the founder of that group and can be extremely helpful.

Comment by galefrank on August 25, 2009 at 8:54pm: Christy aka momofjaymes, More will follow. A letter usually follows with address info. I'm trying to think what I did with all the contents of "The Box" I may still have it stashed with what remained at home with us.

Got to share the findings when we were cleaning up his desk.....girly magazines from Germany. He made a trip with his high school class the year before. I almost fell out of my chair laughing.

Comment by galefrank on August 24, 2009 at 8:09pm: i think every new graduate wants the same thing....LONNNNNNG SHOWER, REAL FOOD, STEAK (REALLY BIG). Bryan's big request was Dr. Pepper. I think he drank the bottle in one gulp. LOL Oh does this sound so familiar. Bryan and I were just talking about him being in for 7 years already. How time flies.

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on August 23, 2009 at 2:13pm: There is a little problem with the current cranking theory. A lot of our ships are currently undermanned (the Navy's biggest expense is a Sailor) and due to the undermanning the cranking schedules are changing. Remember the needs of the Navy come first. And I know this because my son just returned from his first deployment and cranked in the Chief's Mess for 4 months and then 2 1/2 months in the galley. His ship was designed to carry 320 Sailors & Officers and is currently manned at 240. Sailors from all divisions are 'lent' to the supply division to help out when needed.

Comment by dooby1424 on August 23, 2009 at 2:05pm: I want to thank Paige for the wonderful get-together yesterday. It will be nice to read emails and be able to put faces on the names. Go Navy!

Comment by Melissa (Tucson) on August 22, 2009 at 2:28am: Joyce, ask Anita to give you the solution to why some of your pictures stretch. It's a compatibility issue with your web browser not the computer.

Comment by Sue-Pillowcase lady on August 22, 2009 at 12:04am: and there are chores in BC. my son was the laundry petty officer. He knows how to iron now.

Comment by galefrank on August 20, 2009 at 5:52pm: When Bryan did cranking he worked in the Ward Room serving meals to officers.

Comment by dooby1424 on August 20, 2009 at 2:01pm: Hi Lori - My daughter is Nurclear Surface, so when she was on the Truman she was one of the Reactor Officers. I went on a family cruise before deployment in 2007. It is amazing what the deck crews do.
