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 DrewsMomRita on October 13, 2010 at 10:48pm: Yamile and winniesam...Haa...guess in all the emotion..I was too vague. Everyone... Drew made it...He is a Sailor! Yea!!!, Unfortunately, his Dad & I will not be able to attend PIR, and up until today, I was hopeful that our circumstances would change so that we could still go...and the bad news isn't that Drew didn't make it...I must have really done some bad writing. Sorry... But YEA!!! He did make it. Wish , reeeeeally wish we could be there, but unless things change tonight, it just won;t happen.
Yamile, I will surely miss meeting you, too, hun. Keep posting, though. I really want to know how things are for you... I still have high hopes...and you will remain in my thoughts...

Yamile - I'm so happy for you and christina!

Drewsmom, I'm so so sorry. He'll make it though. I know it's tough to be strong but know that I'm thinking of you and Drew and you are in my thoughts and prayers!

Dana ~ you’re such of good wife, giving call time for your husband…. LOL…. No seriously that was very nice…. I had written my husband and Christian’s father phone number on the palm of my hand to give the numbers to him to call them and share the good news with them…

Pink Helmet talk about panic…. You got me cracking up…. I’ve running like chicken with two heads and while at the store I panic as well … thought someone has taken my phone… oh and get this one…. I went for a massage and without realizing it put my phone on silent…. Talk about Panic again…. Good thing none of the calls were from mu son…well I hope that’s a good thing..

Christina ~ she pass her running, be confident she will make it thru BS21… see you on Thursday.

Judy ~ my heart goes out to you… I will keep you and your daughter in my prayers….Hugs~

No call for me today.... I guess I have to take a leap of faith and expect to receive my phone call while in Chicago.... talk about…… s c a r y...
