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 lisarobin on July 17, 2011 at 11:34pm: Yea momk! I'm glad to hear it. How is she doing?

Comment by lisarobin on July 17, 2011 at 11:31pm: Yes, yesterday was a blessing that the senior division came through and got the phones because of the bad connection area where Amberrose was. He then got to call today and talk for 40 minutes! We can't be there at all times although we try! Don't let the gf feel bad. There will be another time.

Comment by momKdiv938-daughterK on July 17, 2011 at 11:30pm: Got a 43 minute call this afternoon too!!! Great to hear amberrose and lisarobin were able to share a call....

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 17, 2011 at 11:22pm: Just glad you both got to talk to him! My sons gf missed his call twice now. It breaks my heart for him because I know he misses her so much and I'm sad for her too!

Comment by lisarobin on July 17, 2011 at 11:13pm: Hello CorysNavyMom! I am the mother and Amberrose is my future daughter in law! She was so sweet to merge the call and add me so that we could both talk! It was so wonderful to finally talk to him. That was the first time he had a real call where he wasn't just asking for info. He sounded wonderful and had alot of stuff to share. I am on cloud 9! :.)

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 17, 2011 at 11:04pm: I think I an a bit slow...Amberrose and lisarobin...how are you both connected to the same SR? Just curious. I know both my mom and I are on here. I'm thinking girlfriend/wife and mom?
