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 Sharon-Proud Sailor Mom on July 23, 2011 at 12:20pm: Keger - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!! This is wonderful news. I know how hard the waiting and wondering was! Pat yourself on the back - you are the Proud Mom of a USN Sailor! All the best to you. I'm so glad his dad will be able to see him. That was like Christmas in July for me. If he can go to the airport to see him off - I had 6 hours with my Sailor - it was great!

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 22, 2011 at 11:46pm: Keger, Congratulations to your new Sailor!! I am so happy for him. (and for you)

Comment by keger2001 on July 22, 2011 at 9:24pm: Too funny, he just couldn't wait for his other one to get to him..lol He said as of right now he has liberty all weekend and maybe going to A school on Monday, which is San Antonio,Tx..I was literally shaking, it's really hard to type when your hands won't stop moving..lol

Comment by keger2001 on July 22, 2011 at 7:27pm: Okay I will , he said he is going to go pick up a new phone, at the NEX, I guess? and he will call in a little while with a new number..Dad got choked up when I told him..

Comment by keger2001 on July 22, 2011 at 7:15pm: Thank you!! He didn't call yet..I pulled up FB to see if anyone was getting I 'm a sailor calls yet and he was logged on!! so I sent a message and asked him of course "what are you doing on here?" and he said he passed his run on Wed and did Battle Stations last night and he has liberty all weekend, the cool thing is my husband is working in Chicago this week and is going to be for the weekend so he is going to go up and take him out..

Comment by keger2001 on July 22, 2011 at 6:58pm: WE HAVE A SAILOR!! HE PASSED EVERYTHING!

Comment by keger2001 on July 22, 2011 at 9:27am: sandy, that's great! the more educated families are the easier it will be for them to get thru this rough and uncertain time.

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 9:33pm: They answered me back and rather quickly, and I kinda started a discussion on there, maybe it was a good thing for the loved ones who are not apart of this wonderful group, they can get some questions answered they might have been afraid to ask..Oh and they answered honestly..

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 8:52pm: I put a post on the RTC FB page and asked them how FIT works, interested in what they will tell me, if anything..

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 21, 2011 at 4:53pm: I think it is horrible what happened to keger. I thought they called you well in advance to let you know that your SR was not passing.
