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 CarrieAnne&Nick(Ship 11 Div 117) on January 29, 2010 at 8:05pm: I have a question, on the weekend of their bootcamp graduation, if they said they get a "free" weekend does that mean that they can stay off base?

Comment by Cp7 on January 29, 2010 at 1:58pm: well said moz321!!!

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 27, 2010 at 2:14pm: Nikki: I can't wait to meet you either. It is going to be so great to meet everyone that I have come to know via this site. :)

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 26, 2010 at 10:18pm: Nikki: I have no idea when our plane arrives but we don't leave until 5 and I don't know where we are staying... I have to talk to Drews mom. and yes we are going to the meet and greet. what about you?

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 25, 2010 at 11:04pm: Nikki: I agree with everything you just said, and I hope you get the call on your birthday. I'm not getting my hopes up for any form of communication on mine. If I get a letter or a call then it will be a surprise and that much better, but I'm not expecting anything. 3 days. :) and more importantly 17 Days and 15 until I leave! :D I can't wait till it gets down to single digits!

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 25, 2010 at 2:42am: I hope so too. And I know he will be. In the last letter he told me to start thinking of something he could get me for my bday and xmas... but all I want is him! The best present I could ask for is for an engagement ring. Lol! but I don't know if I should do that. Lol!

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 25, 2010 at 2:30am: They are! and I know what you mean about the feeling fading... and it will probably be just in time for my bday. :/ Thank you. and kind of. the day after my fam and I are going to go out to eat, and on my bday I have talked to drews brother about possibly going to the beach or at least something... don't know for sure though.

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 25, 2010 at 1:10am: Nikki: I know what you mean about wanting it to be Feb 12. Lol! I'm actually doing AMAZING! Those two letters put me back on cloud 9. :) Lucky for me it hasn't worn off yet. Lol! I am also keeping busy, and I never leave a room without my phone. I'm actually kind of excited for my birthday in 4 days. :) Hopefully I will still be feeling great. HAHAHA!
