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 Bensmom on October 7, 2011 at 10:26pm: lyndahl-I remember receiving "the box" and tearing up when I opened it. You will really appreciate your first letter. I have kept all on them. Good luck to your sailor!

Comment by lyndahl (04/803) on October 7, 2011 at 8:10am: Recived "the box" yesterday and was surprised that it came so fast....he just left for BC this past monday. Hope that first letter comes fast as well!

Comment by Bensmom on October 5, 2011 at 9:41pm: I cannot begin to tell you how much I appreciate the Navy Diver community. My diver just attended Instructor's training in Pensacola for two weeks before he began his first assignment to Jacksonville. He got terrible service with the Navy fleet and civillians until a Chief Navy Diver from Jacksonville interceded. He then got a decent place to stay for the two weeks he was there. All I can say is "thank you" to our navy dive community. They are a small contingent of sailors but take care of each other. Hooyah to all of them!

Comment by lyndahl (04/803) on October 5, 2011 at 8:59pm: Wow, what a great site, My son just shipped out 2 days ago for BC, then on to dive prep. This site has told me so much, Thanks!

Comment by lnaipaul on September 13, 2011 at 4:37pm: Sailorprincess - I am glad you had fun with your fiance. Panama city is very nice. Everyone there was very nice to my family. You will love graduation I cried.

Good luck and our prayers are with you.

Comment by Bensmom on September 12, 2011 at 7:24pm: SailorsPrincess- I am so glad you had the opportunity to visit your fiance at dive school. The dive facility is fantastic, isn't it? We were very impressed when we were there for dive school graduation. Good luck to your diver!

Comment by SailorsPrincess on September 12, 2011 at 12:15pm: Hi ladies! I haven't been on in awhile! I hope all is well! My fiance grads dive school on November 22, 2011 if all keeps going smoothly! I visted him the weekend before last in PCB and it was amazing! The base and their school house was really cool! I liked being able to see where he spends a majority of his time! I ate at the galley and stayed in the hotel on base! It for sure saved us a ton of money! I can't wait to go down for his graduation! :)

Comment by Bensmom on September 11, 2011 at 5:25pm: Proud to be a citizen of this country. God bless America! My thoughts and prayers to all people affected by 9/11. May they find some measure of peace!
