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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 10, 2011 at 5:10am: I pulled my ship/div from my name...thought it might be confusing...when he becomes an IT I'll add that!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 10, 2011 at 5:05am: I suggest that some of you ladies start forming individual DIV discussions. It's nice to get connected with the other mom's, wives, GF's in your DIV.

Somebody be brave and do it...come on...;-)

Just type Ship ## DIV ### in the Discussion title and make a brief post like,"Hey, anyone else out there in ##/###?!"

Your SHIP/DIV numbers are on your Form Letter. I know the DIV are 231-234 and 936. I am guessing the SHIP for the reg group is 12 as I see one on a post but there could be different ones. Your 900 group is 02.

Is Donna still here?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 10, 2011 at 4:49am: Your Welcome!

Actuall,y there is a correction, I believe the ninja's use sheets...they don't have black!

And the Sharks...when they "swim" there arms and legs are really up high in the air!

Comment by Terry'saproudmom(Ship02-Div936) on June 10, 2011 at 1:26am: FIRETEAMLEADERWIFE: Thank you for the Ninjas and Sharks info. I had a good laugh...bet our SRs don't find it funny as the go through it but I they probably have some funny stories afterwards.

LALA: Take care and feel better. I hope it isn't anything serious, maybe some kind of infection. Hope your pain meds get you through the weekend. When you are feeling better please email me regarding your ribbons. I would like to order a couple.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 10, 2011 at 1:02am: I've been AOL too...Cleaning up a much neglected "ship"! "Nationals" have been employed to help out

My neighbors.

I'm feeling a little sillier than usual...just got back from being "TORTURED" by my personal trainer!

I won eight free sessions with him.

So, how come I don't win when it's a million dollars!

I just got a smart phone though to check in as often as I can...now if I can just figure out how to answer the phone!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 10, 2011 at 12:56am: Oh LaLa...I am so sorry! I hope the pain meds help until you can get to Dr. I will pray for you!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 10, 2011 at 12:54am: Oooooo...mystical ninja's.

A ninja is a mythical being(s) that dresses all in black and goes around at night and plays pranks on SR.

If he can get away with it.

If not...IT!!!!

But they are just a myth ;-), iuf you get my drift!

Sharks are another form of punishment.

SR's lay on the floor, wave there arms and legs like they are swimming and repeat, 'Please don't eat me Mr. Sharky...Seaman Recruits don't taste so good!"

Over the course of time this could be changed to,"Please don't eat me Mr. Sharky. I'm a dumb@$$."

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 10, 2011 at 12:36am: dianne- you gave out "ancient chinese secret" HA. I don't get to sound all things military mystical!

Yea...I search engined it. I DID know what they meant after spending time with my Sailor, 'cuz I musta asked him several times (I just like to know that stuff!), but I searched it to make sure I "remembered" correctly!

Now if I could just learn all the rank...

Comment by nursememrie on June 10, 2011 at 12:11am: No letter here, either. I was soooo disappointed. If he got to write on Sunday, as he said he would, I thought surely it would come today. I wonder if he's gotten any of his mail yet. I hope so....he needs to hear from us even worse, I'm sure! Hanging in there...

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on June 9, 2011 at 10:27pm: I am sorry I have been MIA most of the day. I have had a lot of pain on the right side of my face and thought it was from a tooth. I spent over 3 hours waiting to be worked in at the dentist office and they found nothing wrong, not as much as a single cavity. It hurts to yawn, hurts to eat and my glands are swollen along with a lot of pain. No clue what it is. I will have to wait until Monday to go to the DR because they are closed on Fridays :-( Thanks goodness for pain meds :-} I will be around off and on tomorrow as I work on the ribbons. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.
