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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 20, 2011 at 4:07pm: WE HAVE A SAILOR!

Called at Noon! In Ricky Heaven!

Says they have won every Flag they can and penants. Just missing one penant I think. Looking forward to CC against 179! it's going to be tough! Got volunteered for the firefighting excersize for it. Putting on the gear and rolling hose!

He had me use speaker phone for his bros and tried to sound depressed...it worked because of the situation! When he said he was a Sailor...WOO-HOO!

Good Luck to everyone else...ALL the Divisions!

(sorry if I misspelled to excited to check it!)

Comment by janh on May 20, 2011 at 3:20pm: My son is a SAILOR! Everyone in 180 passed. He is in Recruit Heaven. I am so happy right now I could burst.

Comment by Karina (ship 11/Div. 179) on May 20, 2011 at 3:19pm: it's official he is a Sailor, just got my call. Everybody in DIV 179 passed

Comment by diannep on May 20, 2011 at 2:20pm: A trick that another N4M shared about the white uniforms. When hugging your sailor, place your hand on his/her shoulder first, and rest your chin on your hand so as not to get foundation makeup/lipstick on their shoulder. She said it works like a charm! Be careful also with little children who may be eating something, have sticky hands, and be near your sailor while in the Dress Whites! Would be wise to have some hand wipes with you to do hand checks!
