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 Dusty D. - Navy Mom on August 28, 2011 at 11:43am: I got three phone calls from my daughter last night! I was so happy to hear from her. She told me to "research it", find me an Olive Garden, that is all she wants. (LOL). I can't wait until Thursday! Congrats to all the new Sailors!

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 28, 2011 at 10:26am: @Britney I have no idea. I'm hoping for a delay in travel so we have more time with our SR. My SR mentioned that he would know more hopefully on Monday.

Comment by Kimberly P on August 28, 2011 at 12:17am: ShelMaq, I was told to stop sending mail by my sr

Comment by BritneyMarie (07/289) on August 28, 2011 at 12:10am: Hi all!

I'm not sure if anyone really knows the answer to this, but with Irene in full effect how will this effect our guys?

For example, my boyfriend is suppose to leave Friday morning and fly down to South Carolina for Nuke school but with all the craziness going on would they really send our guys into all that?

I hope that all those who are in the danger zone stay safe. My prayers are with you all!

Comment by LilLady88(Ship 04 DIV 819) on August 27, 2011 at 5:11pm: That's what I am seeing too. 818 won all male I believe!

Comment by toogoldn713 on August 27, 2011 at 5:05pm: from fb posts looks like 818 took all male on CC

Comment by BritneyMarie (07/289) on August 27, 2011 at 4:34pm: What I've been hearing is there will be a winner from a co-ed division (288) and then one from an all male division (still no news on who won this yet)

Comment by PeruvianMami (Ship11Div284) on August 27, 2011 at 4:04pm: im going here and facebook... suspense is killing me

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 27, 2011 at 3:35pm: Grats 288 for winning Captain's Cup (mixed division).

Comment by Dusty D. - Navy Mom on August 27, 2011 at 3:23pm: MamaCas,

I hope to see you at the Meet N Greet on the 31st. Our daughters are both in Div281, Ship 11.
