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 CRF230dad on April 19, 2011 at 3:19pm: Got a 5 min. phone call from my son (ship-11 div-181) yesterday, so good to hear his voice. He sounded happy and said things are going great. It was the best birthday gift I could have asked for. So proud!!!

Comment by D for Megan on April 19, 2011 at 11:26am: Deniseg - TG 28 is training group 28, the group that all of our SRs are in. Every week is a new training group.

And Mom, no you never did miss a call. Definitely made things a lot easier for me to have the toll free number to call, along with calls forwarded to your cell. Love ya!

Comment by Deniseg67 on April 19, 2011 at 10:25am: Good Morning all, Stupid question, what does the TG 28 stand for? Thanks and have an amazing day. Hoping for my call today or at least a letter.

Comment by diannep on April 19, 2011 at 9:13am: Just posted a BattleStations discussion up top for you all so you can see what your SRs' final test will be like. There is a link in there to a presentation that Craig, a retired Navy man, put together for you all so you can see what your SRs go through.

Comment by diannep on April 19, 2011 at 8:49am: clockard: Your son has been giving such great info on here to the ladies! You obviously raised him right! HA! I know all of the ladies are so grateful for his input.

Great info about adding a toll-free phone number for your phone! Never had heard of that before.
