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 March 1, 2012 at 2:35pm: Amy - the term I coined for these scenarios is "keybling" - where we babble by keyboard! And just like when we babble, sometimes things are not conveyed with perfection! FEAR NOT! We acquire a sense of interpretation and make NO judgement on keystroke / spelling / grammar errors !!

Comment by AmyaodRN on March 1, 2012 at 2:30pm: Oh BOY!! Sorry for the terrible grammar in my last post. I'm just a little anxious right now, and sounding like a blubbering fool, apparently, lol.

Comment by AmyaodRN on March 1, 2012 at 2:29pm: FTLW-You would know also... I would know by now if he DIDN'T pass the final PFA, right? He said it was on Tuesday, and based on passing prior to Battlestations scheduled, I would know already, if he didn't pass, wouldn't I? He said he went to medical and got 2 days LLD. He must have been really nervous about the PFA, to get him to go to medical.

Comment by diannep on March 1, 2012 at 2:25pm: Amy, I do think you would have heard from him by now if he hadn't passed his PFA. Go on the NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS theory!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on March 1, 2012 at 2:07pm: LOL on the "it depends" answer Amy.

Comment by mandiekaye04 (ship 11/div 081) on March 1, 2012 at 2:05pm: I am glad to hear everyone is getting mail! Mine comes sooooo late! Lol I just wish it would hurry up! Lol

Comment by AmyaodRN on March 1, 2012 at 2:03pm: Yay, more mail for me today, too.

diannep - He says he was sick and worried about the final PFA, but I guess since I haven't gotten a call, he did okay, right? I'm asking based on the Battlestations info you have. I would know if he didn't pass the final PFA by now, since it was scheduled for Tuesday.

I get more info from his letters, than I did from the questionnaire, lol. Didn't really work out like I planned. I got a lot of "it depends" for answers. Anticipation for the upcoming days is KILLING me!!

Comment by HannahKathryn17 on March 1, 2012 at 1:52pm: Yea, definitely! It was our anniversary and he said it would have been the perfect anniversary call. Oh well, we get them soon enough. I am so excited!

Comment by mandiekaye04 (ship 11/div 081) on March 1, 2012 at 1:46pm: Well sang, that sucks! Lol

Comment by HannahKathryn17 on March 1, 2012 at 1:42pm: Oh, and I found out why they got the call taken away. He said they were rewarded with a phone but then, "an idiot went off and got a demerit chit which made my chief pissed off and cancel it".
