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 Denise Millett (Ship2 Div 943) on August 31, 2012 at 11:35am: Ship 2 Div 943 no call, no letter no nothing from my son in almost two weeks.

Comment by happyfeet(ship 09/Div 288) on August 31, 2012 at 11:14am: diannep- thanks for posting that link. I have been a little crazy wondering a out BS and her division (probably because I'm not there), and seeing this makes me realize what an important role CC has in showing the SRs that they CAN work well as a team.

Comment by Haup9 on August 31, 2012 at 10:48am: I agree with Tinker, I feel very much like I did when Wifey was just days from giving birth to my SR....we had a scheduled date to go to the hospital for him. The anxiety is pretty much the same, I know today isn't the day but I know it is coming soon and I just want it to get here!!!!

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 10:27am: Wrong link below...sorry. Here's the correct one:

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 10:25am: Jennifer: Glad that Isaac is just a depression now and hope you all need the rain because "he" has lots of that! Be safe!

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 10:24am: Captains Cup for this group tomorrow! Here's the info!

http://www1.netc..navy.mil/nstc/news_page_2011_02_26.asp

Hoping that some will be able to make calls tomorrow so you can see which ones won. They can have 2 or 3 winners:

All-Male Division

Integrated (Male/Female) Division

Motivational Chant

The Motivational award can be won by the winner of the other 2 divisions also, or by a 3rd division.

Comment by sharbear36(ship 9 div 288) on August 31, 2012 at 9:12am: I have not been on but tryng to catch up now. Reading these posts has gotten me in an even BETTER mood if that's possible. What a long way we have come from the posts when they first left and waiting for boxes, form letters, letters and phone calls. This is such a great place to go for support. My sons friend just left for the Navy yesterday and she isn't a member yet and I told her it is a MUST. No more counting down Fridays!! Woooohooooo!! So excited for the Sailor call.....not too much longer for 288, well it can't be, we are a week away....lol! Have a great day everyone!! :)

Comment by Jennifer on August 31, 2012 at 8:27am: Its a good day to stay by the phone ~ the remnants of Isaac are upon us. I hop you are right diannep! That would be great! Congrats to the Divisions who passed already!

Comment by diannep on August 31, 2012 at 8:09am: Good Morning, ladies. Waiting for more I'm a Sailor calls this afternoon. Maybe 283-286? We shall see!

Comment by diannep on August 30, 2012 at 8:13pm: It is possible that 283/284 didn't go through last night.

Ladies, also remember. They may buy computer time and get on their FB accounts before they get to use the phones. So be checking their FBs if you can!
