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 jesspoo05 on March 23, 2011 at 12:46pm: Cassey-I plan to wear nice jeans and a pair of my heels that I need a reason to wear, lol! Also a nice white shirt and will have a sweater with as well. I am def brinign my unbrella becuase it is threatening to rain. Although it may be nice for the day and rain at night.

My bf mentioned something about getting some 72hr or 96hr liberty this weekend or next. Does anyone know why? Is it a holiday or something? Or is it cause of the gradutation and they get a few days? He is staying for his next station at CP anyways so he doesn't have to travel any. Just wondering.

JudyB-Thanks for the information! It just seems wierd that they are so causal about letting people in like that. It worries me some actually!! But As long as I can get in to see him I guess it doesnt matter at this moment!

Comment by JudyB. on March 23, 2011 at 10:44am: Cassy, My corpsman graduated on 12/14/2010 at CP and I saw most in jeans and a nice shirt/sweaters, I wore a comfortable pair of black slacks and a worm dress shirt with a nice rain coat; looks like it might be raining tomorrow because today it's storming here on the Central Coast and I'm about 4 hours north of Camp Pendleton.

Comment by JudyB. on March 23, 2011 at 10:38am: jesspoo, We pulled up to the gatetold them we were there for the FMTB Graduation and were signaled to proceed through the gate. My husband asked where the graduation were to take place and we were given directions. We were not asked for any information ie Driver license, Auto ins etc. But we had our available just in case!

Comment by jesspoo05 on March 23, 2011 at 10:11am: Dmc-So glad that your bf isn't on hold! I was worried when you said he had news he didn't want to leave in a message, as I am sure you were too! I am happy that it is only a few hours more rather then days! Thanks for keeping us updated!

Linda-So happy that you finally heard from your son!!! So glad that you know for sure that he is going to graduate on time! Congrats on having him help his platoon on being the top one! Hopefully you had fun in LA! Hopefully your husband will be able to get your son's car with out any hassles! Looking foward to meeting you and your husband!

MrsS-Thanks for the update on the field day! So you said that you were going to have your husband babysit and you were going to come to dinner. If he is stuck in a field day are you going to still come? Of course you are more then welcome to bring your daughter! Hope to see you tonight!!

And a quick question about graduation for those that have already been. So you don't need any sort of pass to get in? Just go up to the visitors gate entrance and say you are here for the FMTB graduation? I am a worry wart and don't want to mess anything up and not be able to get in for some reason. I am guessing that you need to show your license and registration and insurance for your car? Thanks for any info!!

Sorry I know this is a long post!! Just wanted to add one more thing.. CONGRATS TO EVERYONE!!! THE LAST DAY IS HERE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I KNOW THAT YOU ARE ALL SOOO PROUD JUST AS I AM!!!!!!

Comment by MrsS on March 23, 2011 at 1:09am: I was reminded that tomorrow is "Field Day". Our guys will be cleaning until 2200. Then we get them on Thursday.

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on March 22, 2011 at 11:29pm: Just spoke to my bf, he's still coming home on Thursday but will have a later flight instead.
If you left or will be leaving soon to graduation, I hope you have a safe trip and fun!!

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on March 22, 2011 at 9:55pm: Oh no! After reading on here it looks like my boyfriend will also be on hold. I missed his call earlier but he left a message saying he had sweepers then watch and that there were some changes he didn't want to leave over a message.

Comment by 2proud4wordsnwv on March 22, 2011 at 8:38pm: Just spoke to my son....on hold in San Diego for a minimum for 3 weeks. He's not certain what exactly he'll be doing during that time.
