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 August 1, 2012 at 5:51pm: WadesMom: Message me the dates you have heard. Hopefully I can help!

Comment by WadesMoM on August 1, 2012 at 5:46pm: Ok friends, does anyone know when div 245 has their battlestations? I have heard 2 different days, and I would much rather be more certain!
Please help!

Comment by diannep on August 1, 2012 at 11:32am: Gotcha, Sherri. Didn't even notice that....prayed because like you said, the Lord knows the details! I know it is protocol to be put into CCU/ICU for possible heart attack victims immediately, no matter how serious...just in case. Hoping that this is the case with your friend...that hers was very mild and she will recover quickly. So glad that she is in a regular room! YAH!

So glad that he will have family there....and praying hard for that momma to be there too! :-)

Comment by diannep on August 1, 2012 at 8:15am: Sherry, will do. So sad! Are there any ladies in that division who would be willing to take her new sailor with them for the day should she not be able to get there (if no other family members can go?). Praying for a speedy and full recovery for her!

Comment by NavyMom Maria(Ship07, Div242) on August 1, 2012 at 12:45am: Sherry, I will for sure pray for her.

Comment by Bekah'sMom on July 31, 2012 at 9:19pm: Hope everyone had a great day and received a letter from your SR. I can't believe that we only have 9 days left!

Comment by Christy_Ship07Div242 on July 31, 2012 at 8:19pm: you were smart to wait...wish I had..sometimes I learn things the hard way...

Comment by Deena-Halie's Mom SHIP07 DIV 242 on July 31, 2012 at 11:29am: no - we don't have southwest. We have to pay $150 change fee! That's why I've been trying to wait.

Comment by NavyMom Maria(Ship07, Div242) on July 31, 2012 at 11:08am: i don't know if you have southwest in your area. I am from CA, i booked thru Southwest, they will let me change the date without penalty, only base on the fair that day, then we add if any different.

Comment by Deena-Halie's Mom SHIP07 DIV 242 on July 31, 2012 at 10:41am: Ok, it looks like several people have already purchased their airline tickets. I've been waiting until the last minute because my daughter was so afraid that they would be set back & not graduate on time. There are only a few seats left on the flight that I need, so I'm going to take a leap of faith & get them today. Hopefully, I'll see my daughter in 10 days!! Hope to see you there!
