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 diannep on May 4, 2011 at 8:27pm: Subwife: Is your hubby in 168? How would he know about 169? Unless he was told that only 2 divisions go tomorrow night. That could be because 167/168 have to go first. But 4 divisions can go at once if need be.

Comment by diannep on May 4, 2011 at 8:23pm: As far as I know, yes, judy. They will go first for sure.

Ok, ladies...now there is a discrepancy on 169/170 and their BattleStations date. I have been told May 5th/6th and May 9th/10th. Need confirmation from others on that. I have both dates on the schedule above with questionmarks.

Comment by judyb on May 4, 2011 at 8:21pm: @subwife - 167 and 168 do Battlestations tomorrow, right?

Comment by SubWife2011 on May 4, 2011 at 8:15pm: 168 just got calls! My husband confirmed that 169 does not do BS tomorrow night, so that needs to be changed on the schedule.

Comment by sherilyn on May 4, 2011 at 7:22pm: wow! alot to catch up on! haven't been able to check on the site, my father was in the hospital. he is doing alot better, and saying NOTHING will hold him back from going to his granddaughter's PIR!

my SR has a full list also of things she wants me to bring. i am going to check out target & walmart for the all black bag for her laptop.

as for a graduation gift, we are giving her a St. Christophers pendent that my husband was wearing when he was in an accident that could have killed him. it means the world to all of us that he's still here, and we know someone was looking out for him that day.

so excited!! only 8 more days until i get to give her a HUGE monster hug!! cannot wait for the "I'M A SAILOR" call sometime on the 10th! my phone will be strapped to my hand with duct tape!!

for any of you ladies worried about your suitcases, go to walmart or the dollar store & get the roll up travel bags. i live by these for our vacations! your weight stays down & no wrinkles! plus, you have plenty of room for anything extra you may buy while out & about.

Comment by SubWife2011 on May 4, 2011 at 7:13pm: I would remove it, RTC said nothing can be on the bag.

Comment by judyb on May 4, 2011 at 6:52pm: In the letter I got, my SR wants me to include some of his own clothes...t-shirts, jeans, boxers, a pair of shoes. Good idea about putting notebooks, etc.

Also, I assume the bag has to fit under the seat, right? It would need to be a carryon size, right? I just bought an all-black duffle bag, with wheels. It may be on the slightly larger size :( Also, there is a very small "American Tourister" button (logo) on it...should I remove that?
