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 sleepgirl on August 24, 2011 at 10:01pm: Congrats to all sailors and their families in 281-282! Hopefully I will be able to post the same soon!!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on August 24, 2011 at 9:15pm: Thanks, my sailors live 7/8 of a mile from the beach in a downstairs apt and are clueless about what to do. I do know if there is a mandatory evacuation they are planning on coming home, that is if they can get out with all the traffic.

Comment by giasams on August 24, 2011 at 9:15pm: To Candace and all the other moms who got their calls - congrats!

Comment by diannep on August 24, 2011 at 9:15pm: AMEN, giasams!

Comment by Candace on August 24, 2011 at 9:10pm: I'm checking in late...I fretted all day about not hearing anything then finally on my way to a dinner meeting I got THE CALL! I was soooo excited and he just said, "Hi Mom..I have lots of time to talk now if you need to ask me any questions"...he's a very laid back kind of guy...lol Congratulations to all the Sailors in 281/282 and to all of us moms & wives for making it through boot camp! The rest of the divisions and families are in my prayers and my blue candles are still burning for all of you! See you in Great Lakes!!!

Comment by giasams on August 24, 2011 at 9:06pm: I'm trying to focus on PIR. First we had the earthquake (which scared my children and I to death!) and now we are being told to prepare for the hurricane. Hopefully it will pass right by us!
