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 amyj96 on July 6, 2011 at 10:21pm: Got a phone call tonight...it was so good to just hear his voice. He sounded good and said he had made some really good friends. He is ship 09 div 248 and said they were coming together really good. Just soooo relieved!

Comment by acesmom(ship:03, Div: 249) on July 6, 2011 at 8:16pm: excited for everyone who got a call. trying not to be jealous!

Comment by lisarobin on July 6, 2011 at 7:50pm: Yes I am hoping he just had watch. Amberrose flew in Friday night to see me and we wondered if maybe he volunteered for watch since he knew she would be flying that evening. Sounds good even if it's not true. :.)

Comment by ColleenJacksGirl (Ship07Div 245) on July 6, 2011 at 7:48pm: thanks onboard mom it is very hard!
will they get another chance to call and if so how long?

Comment by Nan(Ship 9 Div 247) on July 6, 2011 at 7:46pm: lisarobin, I'm so sorry. He must have had watch or something. I hope you get your call soon.

Comment by lisarobin on July 6, 2011 at 7:44pm: Awe that is so sweet Bobbie...thank you. I feel silly when others do have alot going on with their SR's. I am thinking of all of you and praying that God will keep them all in His care.

Comment by bobbie (ht mom) on July 6, 2011 at 7:40pm: lisarobin been wondering where you have been girl i feel ya our time will come and it will be well worth the wait :) hang in there gilr and u have been missed your support is so great ly appriciated here

Comment by lisarobin on July 6, 2011 at 7:27pm: Thank you diannep, sometimes you just need to hear that(or is this case read it).

Comment by diannep on July 6, 2011 at 7:21pm: lisarobin: Remember...no news is good news. If he had been asmoed for any reason, he HAS to call in front of Navy personnel (scripted call). But I know....you just need to hear his voice. Don't worry...it will happen soon for you all! You guys are doing a great job running this group! Keep up the good work!

Comment by lisarobin on July 6, 2011 at 7:19pm: I haven't been posting much in awhile. Just reading everyone else's posts. Amberrose and I have not gotten the long call yet and most of the my son's div called this past weekend. I'm trying not to worry but wondering if he is in trouble or hurt or it's just not his time yet. Please don't take my post wrong. I am so happy for all of you that have gotten a call. I have just been depressed and not wanting to be a downer for everyone else.
