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 bimmer/ship02div914 on March 7, 2012 at 2:31pm: Help -- My son was in Div. 914 and was a body snatcher for Div. 080 at Graduation. Unfortunately I sat by Div. 914 sign and did not see my son during graduation. I was bummed, I forgot I was supposed to sit close to the north door. I am hoping there is a parent out there who took a picture of that division that included the body snatcher. I would love to have a copy of that picture. By the way, watching the body snatchers was amazing how they went up and down each aisle (I watched the one closest to us).

Comment by kimmic1989/Eric's Mom on March 6, 2012 at 9:50am: Finally back on N4M. My son flew out on Saturday morning at 7:00, we had booked out flights for the afternoon in case he was leaving later and of course we then couldn't change our flight (we could for $75 per ticket and there were 6 of us!). Our plane finally left O'Hare at 8:30 pm, I had been up since 3:30 AM. We finally got back to Maine at 2:30AM. I and still a ZOMBIEEEEEEE!!! I have talked to him a few times and text everyday! It's awesome to be able to chat with him! He called last night and said "SEND MY PS3 PLEASE!!!!"
