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 RWG (ship 09, div. 206) on May 15, 2011 at 5:03am: Has anyone with a SR in ship 09,div. 206 recieved the 3 week phone call?

Comment by Squeekerz on May 15, 2011 at 12:07am: I'm worried 'cause my fiance doesn't have any money with him, so now I'm scared if he gets the chance to call, he won't be able to. :(

Comment by KC'smom on May 14, 2011 at 11:52pm: Sunnyb- so jealous, but happy for you. that's wonderful news. no phone call here. But I work weekends, so maybe that's not such a bad thing. Maybe he will call when I'm off work. Can't wait!!!

Comment by Sean's mom 09/206 on May 14, 2011 at 10:32pm: I really could use a phone call!!!!

Comment by Squeekerz on May 14, 2011 at 10:19pm: I've had a blue candle lit for awhile. :) I'm hoping my love and good wishes get to him!!! <3

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on May 14, 2011 at 9:53pm: I wish my daughter had worn 2 pair of socks with her boots, she has been out of boot camp for 10 months and she still has scars on her ankles from the blisters. I guess at this point she always will.

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on May 14, 2011 at 9:37pm: Booked all our arrangements tonight. Very excited

Comment by diannep on May 14, 2011 at 9:18pm: On the phone calls: They earn them, they lose them, they have them scheduled, they have them taken away....so so random!

Sunnyb: So glad you got the call. Hoping for more tomorrow for you all who haven't received them yet!

Comment by Sunnyb on May 14, 2011 at 9:14pm: HAPPY HAPPY joy joy.. we got a call tonight..!! phew... he was sick yesterday with a high fear and hooked up to IV's, that is why he couldn't call. =( but is better today, said he is on lots of meds. He said he spent the day in his rack but felt better after lots of sleep. We got to talk for 20mins. which went very quickly. Oh, he has no blisters on his feet, he said trick is, wear 2 pairs of socks when you wear those boots! That will be good info to pass around.

Thank you for the support ladies.! I don't know what I would do with out you all to keep my mind busy!

*Prayers of peace to all of you who are still waiting.. ! Sunnyb
