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 diannep on August 31, 2011 at 8:06am: Dave'sMom: Your call can come anytime today since it is the day before PIR. Hoping that you changed your cell voicemail message to greet your new sailor if it comes when you are in flight! Congrats!

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2011 at 8:05am: CORRECTION: Just 1 day away! I forgot for a moment that you are a Thurs PIR group!

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2011 at 8:03am: wamomofchris: They normally make the I'm a Sailor call in the afternoon, but the day before PIR, it can be really anytime.

Congrats to all of the new sailors and safe travel to everyone! You are in for a wonderful adventure!

Just 2 days away...THE MOMENT! HOOYAH!

Comment by Dave's Mom on August 31, 2011 at 7:32am: At Hobby Airport waiting to fly into Chicago! So excited to see my baby boy!! Any moms/wives from div 07/290...I still haven't rec'vd a call...when should or should I expect one?

Comment by giasams on August 31, 2011 at 12:25am: That sounds nice and relaxing. I keep forgetting that part of my trip is an actual "vacation". If nothing else, I'll get a break from my little ones for a while. Not that I won't miss them - but a break is always nice - or so I've heard!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 31, 2011 at 12:12am: giasams - If the weather is nice...get a drink from the NEX and sit in the middle of the fields (you'll see what I mean when you get there) and watch the geese. If you get lucky you might see some div marching and calling cadence. I would have loved to do that...but I did not because I think my Sailor wanted to get as far away from base as he could!

Comment by giasams on August 30, 2011 at 11:06pm: fireteamleaderwife: thanks for the info. I guess I'll just have to wait around since I'm not driving down or renting a car, so I'll be stuck there until she's ready to leave. She did say it might take a while. Oh well, I'm not complaining!
