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 emmie<3 on February 28, 2012 at 2:15am: I'm not sure if this was already answered but my fiance is staying at Great Lakes so I know he gets to have liberty all weekend. His mom will only be there Friday, and I was just wondering if he needed someone to sign him out on Saturday and Sunday, like a liberty buddy? If so, would I be able to do that if I'm just his fiancee? And, if not, do I pick him up at the gate or something?

Comment by Jess' Proud Mom on February 28, 2012 at 1:18am: So besides Viola, Barbsz and I, who else is staying at the Navy Lodge?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 28, 2012 at 12:08am: Congratulations to Division 914 on becoming Sailors!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on February 27, 2012 at 10:13pm: Oh barbydahlzz...while I am EXTREMELY happy that your Boot Camp will soon be over and that you will be the proud mom of a SAILOR...I am selfish enough to say that I am going to MISS YOU!!! Please make sure you pop in here and there...

Comment by diannep on February 27, 2012 at 9:48pm: bpa: I'm not sure when he would be advised of being an Honor SR. So....maybe when you talk to him, kind of "bait" him and see if he offers it.

Congrats to all of those of 914!

Comment by Doreen-ProudNavyMom on February 27, 2012 at 7:40pm: How long were they allowed to talk to you?

Comment by bimmer/ship02div914 on February 27, 2012 at 7:20pm: I have a Sailor too. Very exciting for them, and for us. I believe the whole division passed - my son said they got a 4.8 (I believe that was the score) out of a 5.0. Said they worked together as a team. Glad boot camp is almost over -- can't wait to see the "new man" the Navy helped mold. Congratulations to all!
