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 joankf Ship11 Div 181 on May 7, 2011 at 8:06pm: Julie, the "stick" is the flag that the bearers carry in the divisions. You can see them on the RTC facebook page pictures. Is your SR a "stick"?

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on May 7, 2011 at 8:03pm: In our letter this week my SR said she was a "stick" and is learning how to march with the flag. She also said she was chosen because she was one of the shortest! LOL Happy Mother's Day to all of you!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on May 7, 2011 at 7:20pm: Just changed my user name. Ummm...took me this long to realize it looks funny. I'm not married to "the" fire team, but it's leader!

We will be at the Navy Lodge also'

Happy Mother's Day to all of you!

Comment by Virginia (Ship 2 - Div. 928) on May 7, 2011 at 6:00pm: YES! I got one today! I wasn't even going to check the mail when I got back from a graduation party, but on a whim I did, and there it was. And it all all sorts of good news from my husband. IT MADE MY DAY!

Comment by Cait a sailors girl! on May 7, 2011 at 5:58pm: got more letters today! That means they can send letters out more often now, that means we will ALL be getting letters more often now! Anyone else excited?

Comment by Virginia (Ship 2 - Div. 928) on May 7, 2011 at 5:48pm: No call here... yet. When he has called, it has been about 4:00 my time (mountain).

Comment by HisSailor(Ship02/Div928) on May 7, 2011 at 5:40pm: Has anyone gotten a phone call today from Div 928!!?? My phone has not left me!!

Comment by diannep on May 7, 2011 at 4:06pm: Texasmom: We had little time with ours after PIR either, but enjoyed every minute of what we did have. PIR is so phenomenal. You will be so so proud of your sailor...especially after all he went through! We are all proud of him!

Comment by diannep on May 7, 2011 at 4:04pm: Julie: The "sticks" from each division carry the flags in the front of their divisions.

ProudNavyMom: PFA is their physical(personal) fitness assessment---situps, pushups, run. They HAVE to pass the 3rd one to graduate. Al divisions are not on the same training days, but close. Brother divisions are on the same day.
