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 Cranny(Ship04 Div819 PIR 09/01) on November 1, 2011 at 8:28am: DiverMom-My son also just completed dive prep and is in Panama City! I am so proud of these young men! Wishing them all the best on this next phase of their journey!

Comment by DiverMom on October 26, 2011 at 4:07pm: Just touching base with you all! My Sailor just completed dive prep in Great Lakes and will be headed to Panama City, Florida for A School - finally! It is so wonderful to be able to send care packages, Skype, have phone calls with no time limit! I hope you all are doing well in transitioning to new phases in your lives, as well! Take Care!

Comment by surfincin on September 24, 2011 at 10:52pm: It is so awesome talking my my son now and being able to finally send him care packages :)

Comment by boilermom on September 24, 2011 at 9:16pm: He is doing well. Communication is a wonderful thing!

Comment by Crystal(ship11div282)(EM1150) on September 24, 2011 at 8:29pm: Missing talking to some of you ladies, but so glad to talk with my SR daily. He's adjusting to A school, Hope all is well with our group. : )

Comment by wellen(ship04/DIV818 PIR 9/1) on September 24, 2011 at 5:04pm: How's everybody doing? Isn't it great to be able to talk to our kids now and hear the excitement in their voices as they pursue their dreams? It is still very hard on them with adapting to A school, I hope everybody is settling in well.

Comment by diannep on September 16, 2011 at 6:12pm: Thanks, wellen. I will pass that along!

Comment by wellen(ship04/DIV818 PIR 9/1) on September 16, 2011 at 4:44pm: Yes, 818, flew out just this past Tuesday, the 13th. Labor Day played into it as well as space avail. in Coronado.

Comment by diannep on September 16, 2011 at 2:58pm: Hey, ladies. Did any of your sailors fly out after PIR on Monday or later? We had been told that all fly out on Sat or Sun, but that is being questioned now. We want to make sure we pass on accurate info. So please post if you had a sailor fly out AFTER the weekend, rather than during it. Thanks!

Blessings to your new sailors!
