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 Cait a sailors girl! on May 2, 2011 at 1:11am: Julie- hes actually my boyfriend not my son lol

I was also in the 4th grade when that happened living in NY! It was such a sad and strange time. All i really remember is everyone getting called out of class so as my little 4th grade self crossing my fingers i would be called out next not thinking of what could be going on! My Father was supposed to be in a meeting in the 2nd tower on the 70somthingth floor that day. The meeting was changed to the 12th. He has the letter about the meeting change framed so he will always remember how precious life is and how easily it can be taken away form you.

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on May 2, 2011 at 12:55am: I'll never forget 911. Our eldest daughter had just begun college in NYC 1 week before 911. She saw the billowing smoke from her dorm room window! That was such a devastating tragedy. Our special ops are to be held in high esteem for their victory over terror.

Comment by HisSailor(Ship02/Div928) on May 1, 2011 at 11:26pm: That's crazy! I was in 4th grade when that happened, and now I'm a freshman in college.

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on May 1, 2011 at 11:10pm: It's about time they got bin Laden. Although it was 10 years too late at least they finally got him. I hope no innocent civilians were killed in the process but I have to admit that I'm glad he's gone. I feel guilty for feeling that way about another human being but that's just how I feel.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 1, 2011 at 11:00pm: Turn on the news if you are still up. Bin Laden is dead. The president is getting ready to make a statement. But they have his body. 10 yrs after 911.

Comment by diannep on May 1, 2011 at 10:07pm: ProudNavyMom: Wheeew! I was wondering if it was a "reward" call since it came so quickly after the other one. Good for him!

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on May 1, 2011 at 7:44pm: Happy Birthday to Cait's SR! Today is my sister's birthday and her daughter, my neice is due today (although no word yet!) Gottal love May 1st! Welcome Texasmom! So glad you're son is healed! I'll light our blue candles for all our SR's success during this challenging week!

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on May 1, 2011 at 7:32pm: Good luck to everyone's SRs this week as they go through "Hell Week". I hope they all pass inspections and that they all do such a fantastic job that we all get phone calls!!! Hey, if I'm going to wish I'm going to wish BIG!!!! I'll be thinking about all of you...

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on May 1, 2011 at 7:31pm: HisSailor: You're right about that...yay for shiny shoes!!! If I hadn't heard it from your own lips I wouldn't believe it but maybe the boy is changing!!!
