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 Connie foaling-lady (Groton) on September 12, 2010 at 11:01am: Desiree's Mom, LOVE YA, GIRLFRIEND! You made my morning (Sunday) ... I can just picture you getting the call ... I would have ended up in a ditch along the road. Thanks so much for sharing your daughter's info about boot camp. My son used his call to reach his girlfriend (boo hoo) but she immediately called us (yeaaahhh), but it's not the same as getting to hear his voice. Been waiting for it 3 long weeks .. maybe I'll get the next call.

Comment by PKMom on September 12, 2010 at 10:16am: Hi, all,
Glad to see phone calls are coming through, aren't they great! I'm hoping for another one maybe this week???
Mary K, my son left Aug 9 and had to hang around for a week until they started training; not sure why they do this unless they want to make sure they have a big group (his division started at 104 guys! But down to ninety something he said). Hope yours gets started soon!

Hang in there everyone!!!

Comment by Tracye** Diva Rambo** on September 11, 2010 at 11:22pm: Yes it was Great to hear that voice! I really can't wait for PIR now I wanna see her marching with that flag and doing her thing!

Comment by LindaB(Ant'sMom)10/15 on September 11, 2010 at 10:52pm: I'm so happy for you Desiree's Mom!! It makes you feel so much better when you hear their voice and know they are okay!

Comment by reggie27325 on September 11, 2010 at 10:47pm: Stevie Ship 2...She was talking so fast it was hard to catch it all. She said that it was hard and she still cries alot. She got screamed at today but she didn't cry and she was excited about that. There is a lot of hard work but her ship is coming together as a team. She said they were wearing there NWU and combat boots now. Like I said she was talking so fast. I also let her spend alot of her 20 minutes talking to her boyfriend. I hope you get a phone call soon, it really helps.

Comment by Navy Wife K on September 11, 2010 at 10:08pm: Desiree's Mom- That phone call sounded so good. Made me tear up just reading..not much longer everyone! Almost 1/2 way there!
