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 7, 2012 at 10:53am: alicia: They are promised phone calls, and then can "lose them" or have them cancelled for many reasons---one SR's mistake can cost the entire division their calls, or the division itself can lose the call. At least it looks like none in the division called...not just your SR. There is no rhyme nor reason for phone calls...they don't call in order of division persay. So hoping that phone calls come from 242 soon!

Comment by T's Mom (Ship 07 DIV 241) on July 6, 2012 at 10:21pm: My son left June 12 I got my 2nd letter yesterday but havent received a phone call was hoping I would get one this week so happy for the moms that did get a call.

Comment by momma2many on July 6, 2012 at 9:56pm: i'm sorry, Alicia. My son (who was in boot camp in january) was not able to call when his group called the first time. I was heart broken. I cried and cried. I pray you get a wonderful call soon. Just know that he's doing a great thing and it'll be over soon. <3

Comment by WadesMoM on July 6, 2012 at 9:45pm: Alicia, Im so sorry!!!! I know your happy for us, but its got to be hard to see all of our post. I can imagine how you feel. I pray you get your call soon!!!!

Comment by NavyMom Maria(Ship07, Div242) on July 6, 2012 at 6:52pm: it was comforting to receive a letter from SR yesterday.

Comment by SailorMom92 (DIV 244) on July 6, 2012 at 6:31pm: I was told week 5 is about when they do the pictures. Is that week 5 from when we got our 1st (I'm here) call from GL or is it when their 1st day of training was for bootcamp (ex: 1-1)
