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 sjtina on September 4, 2011 at 10:30am: wow mimi its that bad? My son was telling me that they take $300 a month out of his check for it.

Comment by sjtina on September 3, 2011 at 9:27pm: My son said the same thing about the food. Its horrible.

He came home Thursday night then had to leave this morning since they called and said he was on the schedule tonight. Well I got to have him home for a few minutes for my birthday.

Are hickies frowned upon in the navy??

Comment by m'smom on September 2, 2011 at 9:21am: That's funny about the Psych Hospital. I have a minor in Pysch! Major in Biology and what am I doing now?? I am office manager for a Cemetery!! May explain somethings!

Tina-I can write a letter or two. I am in the middle of sending pillowcases to my nephew's Marine division in Afghanestan (see group called Heads at Ease), but should be able to handle a letter as well.

Have a great weekend Ladies!

Comment by sjtina on September 1, 2011 at 10:44pm: Thanks valtameri I put them in your inbox. Write as many as you want. There's alot

Comment by Valtameri on September 1, 2011 at 10:14pm: I would love to write to a recruit!

Comment by sjtina on September 1, 2011 at 9:33pm: BTW I have a list of recruits that are in BC now that need mail. If anyone is interested in writing to them let me know and I will pm you the list. I keep in touch with the bootcamp moms and once in awhile thier recruit will give them names of others who havent been getting mail. I am sure everyone remembers how important that was. They PIR 9/23 so there is still time for a letter or two

Comment by sjtina on September 1, 2011 at 8:52pm: it will be awhile, but definately, I will look forward to it.

Comment by Proud AO Mom on September 1, 2011 at 5:22pm: @tina, be sure and let me know when you graduate so I can do a little pic for ya!

Comment by sjtina on September 1, 2011 at 5:08pm: Valtmeri thats my intention. I already work with mentally ill adults all day, but no degree, no raise.
