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 Jessie's mom (Div 350 Ship 7) on October 27, 2010 at 10:56am: Hi all! I read that you can find out about honor grads? Where do I find that out? See you Friday!! YAY!!

Comment by Mom-to sailor-Alli_Div950-10/29 on October 27, 2010 at 10:48am: If 823 hasn't gone yet, it will be after they are finished. I am sure their performance will count as qualification.... Stay tuned

Comment by CharitySailor'sWife2B on October 27, 2010 at 10:36am: YAY!!! Its getting so close. I always love reading all the comments. I was never able to nap yesterday between phone calls, meetings, and my roommates crazy dog barking--it just never worked out. So I finished packing and drove the 45 minutes to my moms house. I did finally go to sleep at 2300 though and got up at 0800.
My Sailor requested blueberry oatmeal cookies in his first letter. I guess they serve those at the RTC and he really really likes them.
I picked up a phone for Joe yesterday- the HTC Evo 4G. I asked about a military discount and they said that he had to be there, of course. But he didnt want to spend his only day with us (Grad and Go) picking up a phone and getting a plan (switched phone companies). But after a little discussion, I was able to get the plan under my name and because I go to school and work where I do, I got a 23% discount off of the base rate for me. It kind of saddened me that the military discount was only 15% though. You would think they would have the biggest discount.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 27, 2010 at 10:33am: Anyone with an SR/Sailor in div 353 please ask if all passed and let me know. Nathan should be on a plane by the time you start getting calls and we don't think he will get to call first. It looks like the flights are on time right now :-)

Comment by Carly on October 27, 2010 at 10:01am: I think a Marriott...his dad gets a lot of hotel points from traveling, so we went where it was free :) Where will you be?

Comment by Carly on October 27, 2010 at 9:40am: I'm not sure if Aaron's mom and I will be able to make it to the M and G, but we'll see! Her flight gets in a little later than mine...either way, hopefully I will see some of you before the graduation in less than 2 days!!!!

Comment by Carly on October 27, 2010 at 9:16am: Wow Kate when I read that I just got so excited!!! I knew tomorrow is Thursday, but it didn't hit me yet :) I'm going to be so antsy until I am on that plane tomorrow...Congrats to all the new sailors and their families today! Can't wait to read about all the phone calls :)

Comment by SailorSeansDad(Ship12Div354) on October 27, 2010 at 9:02am: Hopefully our new Sailors are getting their Navy Ballcaps even as I write this...very cool and exciting to think about!!
