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 Brenda88310 on March 29, 2011 at 11:27pm: Enough to make us both choke up....and for our kids to beg to talk to him. Anyhow, I did get to ask if he has been receiving the letters I've been sending, and he said that he hopes that they will start getting their letters on Sunday, that way he can mail out the ones he has written....just a piece of FYI for ya'll.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 29, 2011 at 11:21pm: Yeah at least you could hear his voice for a second.

Comment by Brenda88310 on March 29, 2011 at 11:13pm: I just got a 5 minute (or less) phone call from my husband...he needs me to have his recruiter fax something over. He couldn't say much, which makes it harder than no phone call at all. But at least I know he is ok.

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 29, 2011 at 11:08pm: That video was great thank you so much :)

Comment by diannep on March 29, 2011 at 10:53pm: Lala: Sorry, have no clue about that! What is FRG?

Comment by Navy-Girlfriend32 on March 29, 2011 at 10:36pm: Im an elementary education major. It just hard to go from always talking and him either here with me or me home every weekend to nothing. I think I will feel much much better after I get a letter so that I'll have something to hold and read that reminds me he is thinking about me and still loves me.

Comment by janlee on March 29, 2011 at 10:24pm: to all the GF's in the group..i have a specil spot in my heart for you. My son was in BC and left hid GF of 3 years out here with us...she was so LOST>>>my heart broke for her. The hours are like DAYS!!! I was so worried about her..but she was a trooper and once the letters started flowing..its like they fell in love even more!! She went to CT to visit him to weeks ago and he surprised her with a RING!! they got engaged..im so happy and so are they. Dont think that he is in there forgetting about you...he is worried that YOU are forgetting about HIM!!

Trust me,,,hang in ther and you will see by his letters that all is good!

Jessica posted this link to a FB video for the girls on my PIR group and i pass it on to the wives and GF's...you may have seen it already, but if not...here is the link. Make sure you watch it the whole way thru. This guy is so animated about the military girlfriends...its unbelievable spot on and very sweet!
