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 yj.nelson on August 3, 2011 at 7:04pm: I have found it so hard not knowing on a day to day basis what he is doing, how he is feeling. I miss him but that is definately the hardest part.

Comment by yj.nelson on August 3, 2011 at 7:02pm: My Son will be graduating from Ship 04 Div 819 also. Also received a phone call last evening. Waited for it and too short. He also sounded tired and blaaah. I just keep believing everything is fine. So excited for graduation.

Comment by LilLady88(Ship 04 DIV 819) on August 3, 2011 at 5:10pm: Huh, Liz....I thought maybe my SR just didn't have time to write because of duties because today was my mail day, but nothing. The call last night was only 5 minutes so I didn't get the chance to say everything I wanted. Maybe, just maybe, the mail is a day behind? I'm still thinking he's too busy and that's okay. As long as nothing is wrong =)

Comment by liz on August 3, 2011 at 4:54pm: We got a call from our SR last evening and we were shocked at how tired he sounded. Heartbreaking. Today, supporsedly "mail" day, the mailbox had no letter either. Uh-oh. Feeling worried here.

Comment by Proud AV Mom on August 3, 2011 at 4:24pm: Me too! I'm still waiting to see pics of div 286!!!!! I keep my fingers crossed!!!!
