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 zStratMom on February 29, 2012 at 10:14am: Good morning!!!! When I arrived home from class late last night, I checked my inbox . . .And what did I see? All the exciting news about FTLW's pup!

I had to do some editing to documents to go to a professor who was catching a flight, so, I couldn't join in the celebration of ANSWERED PRAYER!!!!!! I have to confess: I had to check my edits twice (I was a bit teary).

Now that it's morning, let me make a quick analogy: Your SRs are not lost, like the little dog, but they are fully in the hands of folks other than you. There will be periods YOU need to just go on faith. If God watches over our little dogs, he certainly watches over our sons, daughters, spouses and other loved ones. Embrace this journey and the moments of faith that help us grow along the way (and, hey, you have all of us as traveling companions!).

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on February 29, 2012 at 9:00am: Yeah, that is what I told someone yesterday, now I am not so sure. This is a entire department meeting with the SVP. Not sure that I can do that. It is month end closing and I am swamped. Besides my mind will be somewhere else for those 2 hours. I might as well stay back and work and wait for the call. Wow, that is great if all 4 are done today.

Comment by kimmic1989/Eric's Mom on February 29, 2012 at 8:58am: I got mine yesterday at 3:00.

Comment by diannep on February 29, 2012 at 8:49am: Well, we actually think that 4 divisions went through last night....077-080. Not positive, but that is the news I received.

Doreen: Any chance you can sit close to the door in the meeting with your cell phone and tell them ahead of time what call you are expecting...then dart out if you get it? I know many ladies in the past have done this.

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on February 29, 2012 at 8:26am: I believe right at 2:30 p.m. The day before it was around 4 p.m. So I think anytime around there. There was only 1 division for Monday and 4 divisions yesterday. Today I think it is just 2 divisions.

Comment by Margaret 07/078 on February 29, 2012 at 8:24am: What time did the calls start yesterday Doreen?

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on February 29, 2012 at 8:19am: I have been up since 3:30 a.m. thinking about my SR. It is going to be a long day. I have a meeting at the same time the calls started coming in yesterday. I guess I am going to have to skip that. There is no way I am going to miss this call!
