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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 25, 2012 at 2:09pm: Yes, they are awesome!

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2012 at 12:42pm: Proud of our Navy SEALS and the rescue they made last night! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on January 25, 2012 at 9:11am: Good morning all!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 24, 2012 at 11:27pm: Here is my standard post about the Discussion Forum area:

How to add a Discussion - Go to the bottom left corner of the DF area (It's actually just above the comment box here.) and click "Add a Discussion".

Fill in the Title and any description you like.

For DIV discussion Titles a suggestion would be:

SHIP ##/ DIV ### (But you can add more to it!)

Click "Add Discussion" at the bottom right.

Simple as that! Then the other members from your div can reply and you can connect up even closer there.

Remember that you are ALL part of this TG though and to stay on the main pages to talk here too! Plus, we veteran moms mostly stay on the main pages of the groups. There are 7-8 PIR groups running at one time and so we do not get to the DF's as much. We do check them as often as we can...OPSEC rules apply there also.

- The Discussion Forum area will only show twenty titles at a time. It is also set to show the "latest activity". So whatever has just had a reply added to it will "bump" up to the top. Whatever is at the bottom will disappear. So, if you want to see more click, "view all" at the bottom right hand corner of the discussion forum area. It is right up there above the Blue Comment Wall bar.

To "bump" up a discussion to the first spot of the DF area when you don't really want to add a reply...in other words someone is looking for it...just type whatever you want in the reply box and click "add reply". I just type one letter and add the reply. Then get rid of it by clicking the "x" in the top right hand corner. The discussion will stay up there at the top without your reply. It's because it has had "activity".

When you view a DF the first post ever made will be the first page. To get to the most current reply, click “Last Reply”.

Deleting your post - You will notice that in the top right corner in any post that you do you will see an "x". This is so you may delete your post if you need too. You will also see the “x” on any post you make anywhere else on the site.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on January 24, 2012 at 11:19pm: Woo-Hoo andrya! We've been waiting for you! Welcome! Please feel free to start the Divisional Discussion for 02/916 up above in the Discussion Forum area.

Comment by jackiequeen/ship09div076 on January 24, 2012 at 10:38pm: good idea!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 24, 2012 at 9:00pm: here is a tip for SPAM phone calls. Since it is so hard to get them to stop calling add that number to your contacts and put the name as SPAM. They when that number calls you can end it quickly :-)

Comment by jackiequeen/ship09div076 on January 24, 2012 at 5:47pm: Just to let you all know, I have pictures from the Milwaukee MEPS swearing in, if anybody would like a copy, let me know!

Comment by diannep on January 24, 2012 at 4:52pm: Another N. Chicago area code is "224." Although most calls come from the "847" area code, there have been occasions when ladies have received calls (maybe from Navy personnel's cells?) from other Chicago-area area codes. So it might be a good idea to answer all calls while they are there...except when you know it is...say, Atlanta...like the one Jennie received.

Comment by jackiequeen/ship09div076 on January 24, 2012 at 4:45pm: I work in a hospital and when my phone rings (typically on loud) it scares everyone including me! LOL!
