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 13, 2012 at 11:23am: msoi2u: You should have a sailor now....no more recruit! :-)

Comment by msoj2u on August 13, 2012 at 10:25am: Anxiously waiting for I'm A Sailor call. Hoping all is well with our SR.

Comment by diannep on August 13, 2012 at 8:10am: I have a feeling you will have a very special day, Lala! Can't wait to hear about it!

Good morning all! Soooo.....we are expecting I'm a Sailor calls today from 253-256 from the info I received from you all. The calls can start as early as 2 pm GL time (sometimes a few minutes before) and with 4 divisions reporting, they will continue for quite some time. Keep that phone handy all day! Remember, ask your new sailor if all in the division passed and post that. Some sailors will have "watch" and won't get to call right away.

Good morning all!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 13, 2012 at 6:09am: Just 4 more days!!!! :-)

Good Morning everyone. School starts today, I am subbing/teaching 4th grade for a month. I just found out on Wednesday so I have had 3 days to prepare. I am freaking out a little so wish me luck and maybe even say a little prayer. I can use all the help I can get lol. I will be back on here this afternoon. Have a wonderful day.

Comment by diannep on August 12, 2012 at 3:56pm: That's all you can do, Ocoee Mom: No news is good news!

Comment by ibmom on August 12, 2012 at 1:31pm: OcoeeMom sorry I didn't ask if everyone got a call. I had seen either on N4M's or the facebook group that the recruits weren't taking watch, the RDC's were taking it for them, so I just assumed . Sorry. My son did tell us it would be Wednesday before he would get to call again. Maybe yours will get to call today. Maybe there were just so many calling yesterday they split them up, of course that is purely speculation.

Comment by Nicole M on August 12, 2012 at 9:04am: JUST 4 DAYS LEFT UNTIL I GET 2 C MY SON.THEY'RE DOING BATTLE STATIONS 2DAY.I CAN;T WAIT 2 GET THE PHONE CALL TO LET ME KNOW THAT HE HAS PASSED AND THAT HE IS IS NOW A SAILOR!!! GOOD LUCK TO ALL OF THEM GO SHIP 3 DIV.254.I'M A VERY PROUD MOTHER:)
