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 Audrey on June 8, 2011 at 12:21am: SunnyB-My son will be going to Goose Creek with yours. The only thing my SR requested (other than cellphone and IPod) is a large batch of his favorite homemade brownies. I'm making and taking a ton. He is a very generous guy and I have a feeling there won't be many left by the time they arrive in Charleston. I'm also packing some boxers and a few magazines. I know they can't have drinks, but does anyone know if we can pack their razors and maybe some of his favorite bodywash?

Comment by ckwinn on June 7, 2011 at 9:50pm: my son is in ship 03 div 210 ,we can't attend his graduation and it makes me very sad but grad pics get put on their face book so I am hoping to see him in those pics

Comment by luv2stmp(ship2div931) on June 7, 2011 at 9:36pm: Marie M and Julie R - My daughter is a corpsman headed to TX. No news yet on when she is flying out.

Lala - That flag is beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

Comment by Luvnsupport on June 7, 2011 at 9:06pm: Thank you:)

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 7, 2011 at 8:34pm: Here are a couple of pics from last year in July that I thought you all may want to see. They used Sailors from the bases in Great Lakes to make the Human Flag. It is so beautiful, I just loved it.

Comment by diannep on June 7, 2011 at 7:31pm: luvnsupport: I think it should be a plain black or navy backpack or duffel.

Comment by Luvnsupport on June 7, 2011 at 7:07pm: Hi Everyone,
We are so close!

Can anyone tell me if we can bring our SR a carry on black bag w wheels? Or does it need to be a duffle or back pack?

Comment by Julie R.(ship09div208) on June 7, 2011 at 3:13pm: Marie M - my son is a corpsman going to TX but I still have not heard anything yet on when they are flying out. Hoping for that phone call soon!

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 7, 2011 at 1:45pm: Cancel that request Sunnyb, I didn't see your earlier message with a list of suggestions. Thank you!

Comment by meryl (ship 09 division 208) on June 7, 2011 at 1:43pm: Sunnyb, I could use some of those tips you were talking about. I'm still figuring out what to pack for him. Thanks
