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 joshsmom on April 2, 2011 at 10:31pm: I'm looking forward to seeing my son on May 13th! Ship 7 Div 171. Can't wait!!

Comment by AnnaElizabeth93 on April 2, 2011 at 6:14pm: Thank you Janlee for your help in answering my question! Yeah I was confident Thursday or Friday(yesterday) that I would recieve a letter like so many others did so far! I have a feeling it will be next week on wednesday or friday...

Comment by janlee on April 2, 2011 at 5:28pm: annalizabeth-check your mailbox this week, this is usually the week when most are able to start sending mail....:) good luck!!!

Comment by janlee on April 2, 2011 at 5:24pm: annalizabeth- Sometimes it depends on the RDC's. Some may get to write a little earlier than others. The letters that were coming in for this group seemed a little earlier than most, so im guessing that is what happend. Also, it may depend on how the division is performing, as to when the RDC's will let them write.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on April 2, 2011 at 5:17pm: Great cause John's in 168 and I'm hoping those come soon :)

Comment by Dr.Kimber on April 2, 2011 at 5:14pm: Navy-Girlfriend, my SR is in Division 167.

Comment by janlee on April 2, 2011 at 4:54pm: judy--its hard to know when the calls will come in...so dont beat yourself up over it. I know its what you have been waiting for, but im sure he will call again if hes able. I had a mom in another group send out a message to everyone in her phone book to NOT call or text her at all on the day her son was to do battlestations. I know of several people who said they have missed their SR's call because of texting. It goes straight to voicemail for them...

If any of you do notice that you missed a call..DO NOT call the number back, even though you will feel like it..lol If you notice you JUST missed it, there is a good chance your SR will call you right back in a minute or two. OR you can be assured that he will call someone else.(GF, brother, dad,etc...). Hes not going to get phone time, and not use it ...he will get ahold of someone..:))

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on April 2, 2011 at 4:51pm: What div were your SR's in that you got the call?

Comment by judyb on April 2, 2011 at 4:39pm: I got my call today, but I missed it! :( He left me a message, then called his girlfriend. I am mad at myself for missing it. I was on the phone, and getting texts at the same time. I haven't wanted to miss it, so I keep my phone with me at all times. Then to miss it. I am so disappointed. I am also pumping his girlfriend for information. :)

Comment by AnnaElizabeth93 on April 2, 2011 at 4:38pm: Do all of these divisions get to send out letters on the same day? I read some of these comments on here about recieving letters already and I am anxiously awaiting mine still! He's in 926.
