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 diannep on July 21, 2011 at 4:48pm: Ok, just read your post. Oh my gosh! What a horrible thing to have made that kind of mistake at PAO! I can imagine that you would have watched all of PIR and wondered where he was if they didn't call you when they did....but right before leaving for PIR?....oh my! So glad that you got to see him to lift his spirits and that he was so much better on Sat....

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 4:45pm: I could tell Jon had someone with him when he called..he was being very careful in answering my questions..

Comment by diannep on July 21, 2011 at 4:45pm: keger: I was so surprised to see you on here? Trying to figure out what happened by going back through your posts as I thought he had passed before PIR?

Comment by tks4 on July 21, 2011 at 4:34pm: They should really make parents aware of this before they get there. That can be heart breaking and costly especially if they dont know that they can still see their Sr.

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 4:33pm: I bet they were so broken hearted to find out they could have seen her..

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 4:12pm: Sandy(sailors son), maybe I will have Kenny call on Monday..If he starts his yaking they may give him information to shut him up and get him off the phone..LOL

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 4:06pm: Yes we got there, only to get told that he WAS going to graduate, and then got a call from the PAO the morning of PIR right before we left the hotel to say he WASN'T graduating...ugh! it's been a nightmare.. but we did get to see him for a couple of hours..and he and the other guys were so down hearted(all same div), their parents were there also. it was devastating to see them all so upset. But when Jon called on Sat he sounded so much better, his spirits were high..They did get yelled at for all of us being up there., but Jon said it was worth it, he said it meant more to him then we will ever know, for us to be there..

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 3:53pm: Jon hasn't sent a letter this week, so I have no idea where to send it.

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 3:53pm: Do we send letters to their original ship address or is their a new one?

Comment by keger2001 on July 21, 2011 at 3:51pm: Well you know the first person i talked to there was very kind and told me to call back the next day to check, and you know me I did! But the person who I got the next day was less pleasant but once I gave the sermon on what was going on she found out for me, and the answer at that time was the results weren't in yet and they probably wouldn't be until that afternoon, which was Thursday so we went ahead and left and went up there, it was too long of a drive not to go ahead and get moving. So I called back that afternoon while we were traveling and kept getting the voice mail...
