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 diannep on July 16, 2011 at 7:30pm: So sorry about your missed call, amberrose. I wonder why he didn't call lisarobin? Maybe he was told he could dial one number and that's it...quick call. Sigh...hope that he calls again soon!

Comment by theraysmom(Ship11 Div 244) on July 16, 2011 at 7:12pm: I love that some of you get phone calls but I am with Corysnavymom. I want a descent conversation with my son oh well in 19 days for sure. I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by amberrose on July 16, 2011 at 6:37pm: Today I am having one of those miserable days because I missed a call from my SR. My phone was in my lap, and did not even ring. Guess at that moment, we were in a bad spot. Anyway, the message said he would call me back ASAP, but he never did. Nobody else heard from him either. Heart breaking,

Comment by mostele on July 16, 2011 at 5:34pm: Ladies- 19 days left, then...GROUP HUG!!!!

Comment by clarkedu (MM Nuke Prototype) on July 16, 2011 at 5:27pm: Bobbie, I am glad I am not the only one who feels maxed out on bc and trying to change my focus to the a school phase. I was feeling guilty like I had given up. I have not, by any means, just not much more I can learn about bc that could be of any useat this point.

Comment by Tonya (Ship 09 DIV 247) on July 16, 2011 at 4:42pm: :o)

Comment by diannep on July 16, 2011 at 4:33pm: Was just kidding with you, Tonya...I know that N4Moms members are very respectful of the rules....even the "kissing" ones! :-)

Comment by bobbie (ht mom) on July 16, 2011 at 3:53pm: mostele... i agree i have had one call and had to share it with my sons dad and aunt but hey is all good i have decided to stop dwelling on bc and look forward to PIR and A school we have learned about all we can now so we just count the days til we see our srs`s again and swell with pride... GOD has them and will watch over them.... my son is only 20 so cutting the strings are hard but we are the strength that made them strong :)

Comment by CorysNavyMom (Ship 11 Div 243) on July 16, 2011 at 1:56pm: Mostelem..seems like our divisions (since brother divisions) are on same phone call schedule. Or lack there of one. And thanks! Glad its gotten easier on you too!
