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 Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on February 2, 2010 at 11:39pm: Newbie: just my luck! I'm born and raised in FL!!! I'm scraping together clothes from various people in hopes to not become a POPSICLE!!!! Lol!

Comment by Janie - ProudSailorWife on February 2, 2010 at 11:21pm: Tiffany-My hubby grads on 2/19. Be prepared for it to be really cold in GL's. You get all of the wind off of the lake and it is frigged. We lived in northern IN for 4 years and spend a lot of time in Chicago. For some reason a lot of that time was in Feb and we almost froze every time..

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on February 2, 2010 at 11:15pm: Ashley: Was your sailor grad-n-go? How cold is it because my boy graduates in 2 Fridays? :) Is it cold where you actually sit to watch the Graduation?
I want to know everything, but I don't know what questions to ask. Lol! I can't wait to see him!!! The reason why I asked about grad-n-go is because my bf is. :/ I'm a ball of nerves and anxious excitement. I can't focus on anything else. Lol! 9 days!!! Single digits! AHHH!

Comment by Janie - ProudSailorWife on February 2, 2010 at 8:55pm: Navygfhelga-Yeah we missed the actual holidays but we had a little thing at our apt before he left. Kinda had all the holidays rolled into one. We missed Christmas New Years and now V-day. His PIT is 2/19 so I'll get to see that whole weekend with him being back at base at night. I wrote a little everyday and sent it as soon as I had the addy. You should have that in like a week.

Comment by AF Airman on February 2, 2010 at 7:05pm: Newbie-thank u. And man you and your hubby missed all the holidays. Sorry that must have been really sad. But hes coming home soon right? or atleast his graduation is coming up? Im goin to miss Valentines and his Birthday and i think mine too it really sucks. Im so nervous im already writing letters so when i finally get the adress to send them

Comment by Janie - ProudSailorWife on February 2, 2010 at 2:42pm: navygf- my call didn't come through that he made it till about 1am and it will literally 15 seconds. His first letter may be a few weeks but hang in there. My hubby is in boot and been gone since 12/15. The first week is all processing and the first info packed will come a little over a week from now. His parents or you, whom ever he sends that to will have all the grad info at that point. If you ever want to talk feel free to email me.

Comment by AF Airman on February 2, 2010 at 1:06pm: Hello im new to the group. My bf just left yesterday and today has been really hard for me i joined the group for support and so i can be able to talk to others going through the same thing. Yesterday he called me before getting on the plane and when he called at his arrival i missed the call because it didnt go through im really sad now i hate my phone lol. So now im just waiting for his letter with all his information. Im not sure when his grad will be yet but i know its in april i cant wait to see him. I miss him so much and its only been 1 day and a half since i seen him. Anyone feel free to message me if you want to talk or have some words of encouragement and advice.
