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."

The black back cannot even have colored stitching, from what I've read.
Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 23, 2011 at 4:27pm
Colleen, I was told that the NEX carries plain black back packs if you are having a hard time finding them elsewhere. :o)

Hey ladies. I have a question. The back pack we can give them before they leave at the airport, can it be a brand name like nike or does it have the be completely black?

Question... 8/5/11 gals.... IF I choose to cancel my hotel and drive up that morning... very early.... I can still take the shuttle at one of the hotels, correct?  DianneP- you'd know this...

CorysNvyMom:  Since some divisions go through BattleStations the Thurs/Fri before Captains Cup, then they are already sailors.  The rest of the divisions go through after Captains Cup.
Comment by bobbie (ht mom) on July 23, 2011 at 10:12am
ok thx mainmom .. i know my son said he went to a class on his rate which is a hull tech and found out he will prolly have 12 weeks of A school instead of 8 but he will still be home after that for 10 days
Comment by Maine Mom on July 23, 2011 at 10:05am

I did not get his rate info-he is undesignated he said and really wanted to go to Japan. He talked real quick so I did not get a lot more info but he said he signed paperwork to go to Japan for 3 years. He said he had an hour to talk but wanted to call his brother too. He talked to me then Dad but while talking to Dad the yell came that time was up so he didn't get to call brother. His brother was bummed.

What a great birthday present for Lisaladybug!!

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on July 23, 2011 at 9:43am

Maine Mom and Bobbie, the exact same questions occurred to me!  Do tell, Main Mom, please!  :-)

HaHa!  Lisaladybug, As truly special as it is, I'm afraid your birthday just might have to take a back seat, at least briefly, on 8/5.  There is something else of great importance that day... what EVER can it be?  jk, (on both points) of course!
