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 Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 10, 2011 at 10:56pm: I can believe that about mailman withdrawal, I miss writing and receiving letters, I only check the mailbox (at home) a couple times a week. I used to sit on the porch swing and watch for the mailman lol.

Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on June 10, 2011 at 10:41pm: 931 also got only one phone call. All his letters indicated that they were doing really well. I have been a little surprised that most of our SRs only got one phone call during BC. I know times have changed, but years ago when his father went through BC, after the second or third week, I got a phone call every Sunday. Whew, I'm glad this time next week we'll be in GL! Although, I think we may all go into withdrawl when we don't have to stalk the mailbox anymore!

Comment by Angel W ProudMom on June 10, 2011 at 9:47pm: Hi, Donna when did you hear from your son?

Comment by Angel W ProudMom on June 10, 2011 at 9:42pm: Hi Patty, my daughter is in Div 209

Comment by Patty (Ship 2 Div 931) on June 10, 2011 at 8:39pm: Hi Angel, what division is your SR?

Comment by Donna (Christopher's Mom) on June 10, 2011 at 7:36pm: Angel- that is great news. We only got o e call from our son. He said his RDC was RDC of the year so he is really tough on them.
