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 nicole~a sailors girl(: on September 4, 2010 at 11:49pm: It depends on their orders. They can't "get" overnight liberty..it's whatever they're given.

Comment by Mrs.B_Div 302_Ship9 on September 4, 2010 at 11:47pm: It just depends on when they are moving over to the A-school side at Great Lakes. It's something that they will be told the morning of graduation, from what I'm told. And it's ONLY if they have A-school at Great Lakes, but, tho I don't know the "real answer" from what I understand, not everyone gets it. I'm not sure why some do and why some don't. It just depends.

Comment by AliciaH*Ship09Div306/PIR9-10-10* on September 4, 2010 at 11:45pm: How do they get overnight liberty??

Comment by Dyl's Mom 943 on September 4, 2010 at 11:41pm: i don't mind the cold so much but rain sucks! Better pull out the sweaters, hoodies, AND umbrella's! ugh! Hard to believe when i'm still running the a/c here at home.

Comment by Mrs.B_Div 302_Ship9 on September 4, 2010 at 11:41pm: Yes, Ladies!!! It IS chilly here! I stepped outside last night and ran back in for my jacket because it was windy and very chilly. :) Make sure you bring something for rain too, because Chicago has spurts of rain and it's not fun to walk in! :) Especiallly if you go to the Navy Pier with your Sailor. BTW, the fireworks are AWESOME...they start at 9:30 pm on Wednesday and 10 pm on Saturday. Just remember that your Sailors, if students at GL's need to be back MUCH sooner than that. But if they have overnight liberty, it might be fun to go watch them. I'd never seen a better show! :)

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on September 4, 2010 at 11:31pm: its suppposed to rain friday and saturday. should be nice sunday. yes, will be chilly, bring a hoodie.

Comment by Dyl's Mom 943 on September 4, 2010 at 11:18pm: FYI.. might want to bring some warm clothes. My son said its starting to get chilly there. I think someone said rain on Friday?

Comment by diannep on September 4, 2010 at 11:07pm: For any of those who will be traveling by plane to GL on Thurs when their sailor may be making the I'm a Sailor call, change your cell voicemail to greet your new sailor and ask him/her to call back several times leaving messages and info so that when your phone is back on after your flight, you will hear from them!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on September 4, 2010 at 11:06pm: I'll definitely ask him. I'm just trying for a guesstimate around the time they're calling. i know, hard to pin point lol. thanks for the help!:)

Comment by Donna-Amanda's mom on September 4, 2010 at 11:05pm: Yes Nicole, My daughter said 3rd test on Tuesday, Battlestations on Wednesday and graduation on Friday. They should call anytime between 1400-1900.
