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 Sandy's_sailor son on August 29, 2011 at 2:17pm: Dianne, can you stop by the PIR 10/21 group for a moment?

Comment by diannep on August 29, 2011 at 2:09pm: txmom: Got your group message about the discrepancy in the date for 818/819. I will send out another group message with a suggestion on this.

Comment by diannep on August 29, 2011 at 12:48pm: Ok, thanks to you all who messaged me. I just Group Messaged the remaining BStations schedule. I think (HOPE!) it is correct now. Please check your personal email box (not your email on N4Moms) for this message...including your spam box as it sometimes goes in there!

Comment by diannep on August 29, 2011 at 8:33am: Do we know which divisions are for sure going tonight? 5 divisions have been reported to me as going...and that is too many. 4 is the max. Please Group Message or message me if you know your division is going through Battlestations tonight. Please don't post on the board here...not allowed. Thanks!

I keep looking at the clock too... Can't wait until Thursday!

Comment by Dusty D. - Navy Mom on August 28, 2011 at 3:36pm: Kimberly,

I have been so worried all this time and my daughter is worried about what she can eat on Thursday. I thought it was really cute to hear her say that. I feel like all the worry and stress has just been lifted off my shoulders last night.

Comment by toogoldn713 on August 28, 2011 at 2:14pm: i've become entranced by the countdown clock! lol

Comment by diannep on August 28, 2011 at 1:25pm: Captains Cup: A winner from all-male, one from integrated (male/female), and one for the motivational chant. Sometimes one division will win for their division and the motivational chant as well. Hoping results are up on RTC FB tomorrow...unless calls today reveal the winners!

BritneyMarie: I'm sure they will be back on schedule with flights by this weekend. Storm will be long gone...we hope!

Comment by toogoldn713 on August 28, 2011 at 1:17pm: k i just watched some PIR videos on youtube and i'm crying like a baby and i don't know any of those people...lol today is going to be very long. haven't heard from him in almost a month have so many questions. wed can't get here soon enough. lol

Comment by Kimberly P on August 28, 2011 at 12:42pm: Dusty, that cracked me up...research it. But at least she knows what she really wants. My sailor said he just wants "real" food and some sleep.
