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."

Okay, veterans.  How do you send private messages?
Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 2, 2011 at 11:22am
Linda, I am computer illiterate so I may have not done this right.  I clicked on your name and it brought up your comments.  It also asked if I wanted to invite you to be a friend.  I clicked on that and it said the request was sent.  You may have not gotten it.  I'll try again.
Comment by pianomom1 (ship 11/div 203) on June 2, 2011 at 11:17am

to linda--about nobody responding to your post on fb:  it's kinda like when you are pregnant and have all these feelings and emotions.  no one EXCEPT somebody else who is pregnant REALLY gets it.  WELL, WE ALL GET IT!!!   and we understand, cause we are right here with you!

 

and as to ME running battlestations, i don't think so....sounds like a long hospital stay...

Comment by Linda on June 2, 2011 at 11:15am

No sweetie. What friend's request? Where?

 

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 2, 2011 at 11:09am
Hey, Linda, I've been waiting to hear from my son too.  I was hoping for a letter yesterday but nothing.  I wish I knew how things were going in their division.  I'm really starting to feel isolated from him.  By the way, did you get my friend request from last week?  There are some things I would like to tell you about. Let me know if you got it. Sorry about your facebook page.  I'm sure you'll be getting some comments today!   Going Battlestations, eh?, :0)
