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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 7, 2010 at 11:48pm: Good evening everyone, I just wanted to let you know some answers to some of your questions. Anyone, any age can go to the meet and greet. It is for all family members and friends who have someone graduating the next day. There will be people there who have never heard of Navy for Moms :( hard to believe they survive without this site. There will be small kids and babies and older family members as well. We had our meet and Greet in July and I am 100% sure there is no smoking allowed in the bar. I even called and double checked to make sure that had not changed. If you want to smoke you will have to go outside. We had a great time at the meet and greet and if you can go you should it is lots of fun to finally meet all the people you have been talking to for the past 7 or 8 weeks :-)

Comment by Kac46047 on December 7, 2010 at 11:39pm: Lynn GReat advice! i wanted to make plane arrangments but i didn't want to find out later that he was grad an go. im deff gonna put the extra money out for insurance. that seems like my best bet

sidenote... look how cold these guys look! cant tell what division it is but i'd like to think our recruits are in there somewhere

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on December 7, 2010 at 11:33pm: Kathy - Copy that code of the clock into the "edit" area..that you can specialize and all of that and it should display there.!:)

Comment by Lynne on December 7, 2010 at 11:16pm: Okay all, as you begin to make make plane ticket arrangements I want to remind you that orbitz allows you to purchase insurance for your plane tickets that is less than 50 bucks...it allows you to cancel or change your tickets for almost any reason. When you check into ticket prices you just might want to check this out.

Comment by Lynne on December 7, 2010 at 10:52pm: Kathy...ask Kimbv(S007Div055) to help you. She also set up a group for 1/28 in the beginning but had put 2010 whoops. Dual groups often get set up no big deal...so I know she wants to be involved and it is a big undertaking so I bet she would help you. I sent her a note and perhaps mentioned I volunteered her and then if you all have questions I am happy to try and answer them....we had ice cream cake too....of course ours ran until midnight because none of us could sleep we were too excited....lol

Comment by SDPam on December 7, 2010 at 10:46pm: Hi Tricia, welcome! My daughter is ship 2 div 910. Received one letter and the form letter so far. Looking forward to another letter anyday!
