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."

He says studying. figures :)
Comment by amanda on July 7, 2010 at 4:06pm
ya I'm really not sure how that works out but was curious. I keep meaning to ask but his schedule and my schedule is completely opposite and we're lucky if we have 3 minutes before one of us is off again :/

Does anyone else know?
Comment by Emily-aaronsgirl11 on July 7, 2010 at 4:01pm
Okay, thanks! I was a lil confused for a sec. (or hour or two. haha.)

So... will your boyfriend's class just not do anything for a week or something?
Comment by amanda on July 7, 2010 at 3:56pm
aaronsgirl- their original class splits between EM and ET but your boyfriend and my boyfriend are a week apart and the junior class joins the week ahead's class so all the EMs are together :)

Shauna-You said you lived two doors down but I didn't know in which direction or else I would have introduced myself.
Comment by Krystal(Trevor'swife) on July 7, 2010 at 1:49pm
Hey everyone! It has been so long since I've been on! We don't have internet yet so I finally got over to the library to do some stuff. Anyway, we got here safe. Still trying to unpack and get settled. The house ended up not being renovated but it's still a home:) Trevor started briefs yesterday and his classes start on Monday so I'm sure I will be seeing less of him. I got here and wanted to meet all of you but then realized I had no idea where anyone lived lol and no internet to get on and talk to you. Hopefully we will have internet by the end of the week. Until then I will be using the library to check in. If anyone wants my number send me a PM and I'll give it to you :)

Sooo.. The classes split? But Amanda, I thought our sailors' classes were coming together?
Comment by amanda on July 7, 2010 at 2:52am
I believe they split right after Digital around the 5th month. My boyfriend is about to do that and he started in March.
Comment by Nicole loves Sean (EM-N (SS)) on July 6, 2010 at 11:21pm
when do the classes split? he's going into month three now.

I know he'll have other opportunities. It's looking really well for him regardless because he said he was the only one in class given permission to do group study AND do volunteer work on/around base. I am so proud of him and can't wait to see him in 10 days! charleston here i come :)
