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 PumpkinHead on March 26, 2010 at 5:24pm: the wait is hard, but it will come, i was preparing for a speech i was super nervous about when my sailor called but i quickly stopped to talk to him, i was so happy i heard from him i forgot i was nervous and got an A :) hang in there, 28 days is almost halfway :) venting on this site helped me sooo much throughout bootcamp no need to be sorry! :)

Comment by NewNavyGF (ship10,div167) on March 26, 2010 at 4:20pm: 28 days until i see my Sailor! I'm so excited, yet sad at the same time becuase I still haven't recieved a call from him and from what I've gathered his mom hasn't either. I worried and sad since i really miss his voice and I want to talk to him so bad :( sorry just needed to vent

Comment by tayway on March 24, 2010 at 7:00pm: Oh wow! I hope they all "buck up." hehe I know how you feel about the expenses, gosh! My boyfriend doesn't have really any family but I was trying to see if we could all go together and save money but it sounds like noone can afford it :( i will for sure be going though and I cannot wait to see him!!!!

Comment by NewNavyGF (ship10,div167) on March 24, 2010 at 1:04pm: I can't afford a flight, I'm going to contact my boyfriends mom thins week and see if I can drive up with them, than I'll worry about booking a hotel room, that is if his graduation is still going to be the 23rd. I just got a letter from him, he said that the other people in his division(167) keep talking and messing up so they keep getting a lot of IT, he's afraid that if they keep messing up the whole division might get their PIR date pushed back :( I sure hope not I don't know if I could go an extra week of having to wait to see him.

Comment by tayway on March 24, 2010 at 2:45am: PumpkinHead and NewNavyGF.... so, I'm thinking what he means byt 3 day is fri, sat, and sun?? IDK! Anywho, have you booked a flight and hotel yet, NewNavyGF?And he is going to A school on CT but then he said for a little while in Mississippi.hmmm

Comment by NewNavyGF (ship10,div167) on March 23, 2010 at 1:54pm: Tayway- My boyfriend graduates April 23rd as well!! and if he has a three day weekend all depends on weather he's a grad 'n' go or not

Comment by PumpkinHead on March 23, 2010 at 1:01am: AllieNJ- That is rough, hopefully you can find out some info soon. I think so far for me the Navy has taught me a lot about patience, understanding , and staying positive when times are hard. You always have us here on N4M's to vent. Stay Strong :)

tayway- where is your boyfriend going to A school at? I could be wrong but i think that may determine/play a part in how long of a weekend he gets. Someone correct me if im wrong :)

Comment by tayway on March 23, 2010 at 12:14am: I received a call today from my boyfriend!!! Was SO GOOD to talk to him. He said he may have a three day weekend. His PIR date is 4/23. Not sure if that is right or not.... but that would be nice!

Comment by AF Airman on March 23, 2010 at 12:05am: That sucks. =( Sorry AllieNJ.
