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 Only8Weeks Ship 02 DIV 948 on June 25, 2013 at 11:01am: Does anyone know how long C school will be for AN/USC-38? My son has gotten his verbal orders and will be working on this equipment, and he is trying to find out the duration of this C school. Any information is appreciated!

Comment by Kelli (9/173) on June 17, 2013 at 11:00pm: is anyone's sailor an ET Riverine?

Comment by Anti M on June 10, 2013 at 8:59am: Spain is cool. I'd go again, if I had the money. Flights have gotten so expensive.

Comment by Vickyrun on June 7, 2013 at 11:42am: Thanks. Chrissy likes the ceremonys and the rewards, the pins and that stuff she works for. She likes the attention. She eats it up. And she likes poseing for the pics. Lucky me, I get lots of pics. Lol. She has an apartment off-base. (She is living with her boyfriend, another sailor on the same ship. )

Well, Chrissy dropped off teenage Marsha yesterday in the parking lot and didn't come upstairs, so I didn't get another hug, the little brat. Well, Marsha said she had to go back to Sac to pick up Aidan, she is taking him back to VA today. She gets him for five weeks. She posted on FB that she is worried about the storms and tornado warnings. Norlfolk posted a warning. Well, I hope they get there ok, today. She said she will be home for Christmas, then maybe Spain. Not sure yet about Spain.

Comment by Anti M on June 6, 2013 at 11:38am: Congrats on second, and I hope she's having a great time on leave.

Frocking is one of those things I don't miss. You get to wear it, you get new responsibilities, maybe a couple perks, but you certainly don't get the pay for it. Did get me a better barracks room at the time.

Comment by Vickyrun on June 6, 2013 at 11:29am: Hi Anti M, That is cool. My FC2 is home on leave, she is missing her frocking ceremony but she will just get the pin when she goes back.

Comment by Anti M on June 6, 2013 at 11:24am: Hanging out, nothing much to say. My ET's wife was in a Japanese Coke commercial. That was pretty exciting, but she was an extra, even up front and flinging her hair around, you need to know her to spot her.
