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 April 26, 2011 at 1:18am: I do the same thing! I check my phone every 5 minutes lol

Comment by Luvn_my_Navy_son(ship 11/div184) on April 26, 2011 at 12:47am: Cait- I feel the same way. I am constantly checking to make sure my phone is still on.

Comment by Cait a sailors girl! on April 26, 2011 at 12:24am: Im jealous! I fell like everyone is getting to call home except for my SR!

Comment by joankf Ship11 Div 181 on April 26, 2011 at 12:13am: I only got about 30 seconds to speak with my daughter today. I missed her first call 15 minutes earlier. She did reach my husband who spoke for a few minutes and said she sounded tired and discouraged. I am feeling very sad and discouraged too and don't like this roller coaster ride one little bit. I agree inovell, it was much easier before the phone call. Now each day will drag on and on and my heart will be heavy with a missed opportunity.

Comment by Virginia (Ship 2 - Div. 928) on April 25, 2011 at 6:58pm: LOL! I never have been the type to cross out days on the calender as they pass. I've been crossing them out since husband left, though! It's what I do right after I get in from my AM workout: cross out yesterday. It feels really good... like I have slayed it or something.

Comment by PNM #2 (Proud NaVy Mom-2nd SR) on April 25, 2011 at 6:54pm: Virginia - good for you!!! I know that made you feel good. Gives you something to gauge the PIR by. I just can't wait until we can flip the calendar to May and I can see the 26th every time I look at my calendar! I have it highlighted in bright yellow on my calendars and each day that passes is crossed out. I can't wait to put that last "X" on the calendar!!!!!

Comment by lnovell011/180 on April 25, 2011 at 6:50pm: I noticed today that it seems even longer since hearing from my kid than it did before. Getting the calls and letters all around the same time a week ago (?) makes the wait for the next go by verrry slowly!

Comment by Virginia (Ship 2 - Div. 928) on April 25, 2011 at 6:48pm: So I bought some more letter writing supplies today and nearing started crying from excitement in Walgreen's: in this most recent purchase, there are more envelopes in the box than days 'till PIR. WAHOO!

Comment by OMG hes a Sailor (div180) on April 25, 2011 at 5:50pm: Hello all !! I made it through B's birthday and Easter! I am ready for another letter! I can not remember If I posted but the letter we got on Sat said he was going to church every sunday and doing bible study at night with other guys! It made this mommy so happy! If I told y'all that already sorry...LOL
