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 mapes on August 21, 2011 at 7:53pm: Erinaday-I sent you a message, hope you get it! Geez if you dont I will just have you call me so I can give you the info I have

Comment by Candace on August 21, 2011 at 7:48pm: diannep...you're probably in more danger than us. We're on the gulf coast, near Tampa. We've been lucky for the last couple years. You will be in my prayers and hopefully it will turn early and head back out to the Atlantic for all of us.

Comment by mapes on August 21, 2011 at 7:45pm: diannep- yes to answer your question. How can I get this info to others?

Comment by diannep on August 21, 2011 at 7:28pm: Thanks, Bree. Forget the comment I posted on your page...I hadn't read your post here on the board yet so didn't know his division number when your message came in. I have added 283/284 (brother divisions) to the schedule I'm keeping.

Comment by Erinaday (Ship 13 DIV 265) on August 21, 2011 at 5:37pm: bummer Mapes, I sure would like to know that date. :) I have everything checked so I can receive stuff. I friend requested you in hopes of being able to pm between us.

Comment by BreeBree31 on August 21, 2011 at 5:28pm: Hello,

I just talk with my son...I finally got a phone call but he told me battlestation date so I will try to message that to the group. I haven't received any messages either. He sounded good. I am a happy camper today. My son div is 11/283

Comment by diannep on August 21, 2011 at 4:46pm: 289/290 are brother divisions.

Candace: We are in the line of fire for the hurricane too (Miami). Ugh. It would hit here on the day my older son is planning to move back home! Wonderful....lots of prayers that it will not strengthen into a hurricane and turn away from all of us~

Comment by mapes on August 21, 2011 at 3:33pm: Mine goes to my personal e mail to. IDK wish I could let ship 11 div 282 know but... I give up, sorry. :(

Comment by txmom on August 21, 2011 at 3:25pm: I just sent an email to the group and it went to my personal email account.

Comment by Candace on August 21, 2011 at 3:17pm: As if there weren't enough to worry about....we have a possible hurricane headed our way 5 days before we leave. And we'll find out tomorrow if the doctor can squeeze my boyfriend in for hernia surgery Wed. or Thurs. :(
