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 Amayane on January 14, 2010 at 1:14am: I'm not quite sure what A school is, forgive my lack of knowledge =P I think basic here is the equivalent of boot camp though. I'm confused too! lol =P

Comment by Amayane on January 13, 2010 at 5:42pm: He had left in November for a little while but came back for the holidays, but now he's gone for a really long time at basic (we're in Canada, but this site seems to be the best one around) =(

Comment by Amayane on January 13, 2010 at 5:25pm: Hey everyone =) I'm new here so this is my introduction. My man and I just both parted ways on Sunday so he could go back to basic and I could go back to university... This aspect of him being away is new for our relationship and I'm not sure what to expect but I'm happy there is a group like this out there! My name is Amber by the way =)

Comment by CarrieAnne&Nick(Ship 11 Div 117) on January 13, 2010 at 4:39pm: Hey all! My love just left today, well he's in the airport now scheduled to depart around 5pm, I was lucky to get a call from the airport! :) Also, I'm engaged, yay!

I hope everyone is doing well and staying positive!

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 13, 2010 at 2:07pm: I just figured I'd let you know. I just found out Drew is grad-n-go. :(

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 12, 2010 at 10:37pm: Heidi: yea the pic is pretty good... haven't really had time to work on it though, so i will tonight. When I post the picnic I will also post the polar bear, the picture of me and drew, and the abstract that I have sent him.

Katie: I will post the pictures as soon as I finish it. I have taken drawing 1 and I'm currently enrolled in drawing 2 and painting 1.

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 12, 2010 at 2:38pm: Heidi: I think I am going to do just that... and I'll bring the real thing to PIR... It takes a lot of work to cut masking tape into the form of a picnic seen and then paint it in water color... I don't want to have it thrown out.

Heather: thank you for the 8 month wish, and I think I will side with Heidi and be safe just in case, but thank you so much.

If anyone would like to see it just let me know and I'll post pics when I'm done with it.

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 12, 2010 at 2:14pm: Heather: it is the same size paper that I send his letters on. it is about the size of a card (like a birthday card). Do you think that they would send it back if they don't give it to him, or would they throw it out? Any idea, and yes he is still in boot camp.

Angie: Thank you for the congrats. I want to become and Interior Designer... so I kind of need some artistic talent. Lol! I truly hope it won't cause any trouble, but it is the same size... idk I haven't even finished it yet. Hopefully by the time I finish it I will have an idea as to what I should do.

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 12, 2010 at 1:53pm: Melissa happy anniversary!

Comment by Tiffany (Ship 12 Div 086) on January 12, 2010 at 1:51pm: oh great something I get to look forward to. lol! I just love being awkward! =P
