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 Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 18, 2011 at 4:33pm: that he is doing okay**

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 18, 2011 at 4:17pm: Thanks ladies! I hope he's feeling better too! Ready for a phone call! I really want to hear that's doing okay!

Comment by amberrose on July 18, 2011 at 4:15pm: Prayers are on their way to you and your SR, Tonya. *hugs*

Comment by Nan(Ship 9 Div 247) on July 18, 2011 at 4:14pm: Tonya, so sorry to hear that it was your husband, I hope he is doing better. My SR told me, in my letter today, that two in 247 had pneumonia last week and he was afraid he was next. Aparently, many of them are sick, as expected.

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 18, 2011 at 4:07pm: Got a letter from my hubby today. Sadly, he was diagnosed with pneumonia last week and spent at least two days SIQ. (sick in quarters) :o( Praying that he is feeling better and back to full duty!!

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 18, 2011 at 3:14pm: Woo Hoo. There's a perk to my sons division afterall. ROFL. No phone calls but he can do battlestations first ROFL. 243

Comment by bobbie (ht mom) on July 18, 2011 at 2:47pm: i have seen in the past few week bs was the week of pir but i dontknow alot so lol would love to know when so i can burn my candle lol beem waiting to burn it so what you are saying diannep is we can start getting the im a sailor call as early as 7/29?

Comment by diannep on July 18, 2011 at 2:43pm: BattleStations for this group most likely will start on Thurs night/Fri morning, 7/28-7/29. None on Fri/Sat nights because of Captains Cup. Can resume on Sun night and go through Wed night. First "I'm a Sailor" calls would come in on Fri, 7/29. Yes, they are longer calls. 243/244 will be first divisions to go through. 817 and 938 can go with any of the divisions, or together. Remember, the others go through with their brother divisions. I will "bump up" the BattleStations discussion. Please click on it and go to the link so you all understand what happens!

Comment by I <3 my Sailor (Ship 04/DIV 817) on July 18, 2011 at 2:28pm: Thanks I have read a page just like that the other day. I will just wait & see when he calls.
