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."

Hello Heike,

My SR is in this ship/div. It doesn't look like there's many of us from the same Div for some reason!? How are you doing so far? Have you received your form letter and box. I finally got the form letter yesterday and can't wait to get some letters out to my SR tomorrow. I was really hoping for a phone call today...I know, wishful thinking, right...but a mom can dream : )

Hello

I am doing ok so far just missing my boy lol . I got his box and letter last week . only one phone call when he first got there. Hopefully get something this week . Keep strong we are all in this together . May God bless our children and watch over them . TTYL Heike =)

Hi, my son jordan is on this ship, he was in nuclear program but is color blind, MEPs let it slide but not great lakes so he is now in limbo, dont know what will happen next he has to pick new job, hope grad still happens on 9/1

 

 

I don't think being color blind has anything to do with graduating. My son found out he is also color blind.

It has made a huge difference in jobs he is able to do. My son's name in Michael we are from MA.

my son eric is in this division,he is in the nuclear program,got his call the other day, i was soooo glad!!

That's great. Are you going to graduation? My son's name is Michael.
yea,we're going to graduation,cant wait
