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 Matts mom Proud mom of a Sailor on October 26, 2010 at 11:09am: Safe journeys to all beginning the trip to PIR for Friday. My butterflies are multiplying.

Comment by Twin Sailors Mom on October 26, 2010 at 10:51am: Beth -Ha! That is awesome, I am so happy that he is close enough for you to see him!

Comment by Mom of Joshua, the MA on October 26, 2010 at 10:51am: I have a suggestion for the song list ...

ANTICIPATION! lol It's keeping me waiting!!

Comment by Jim C on October 26, 2010 at 9:54am: I don't mean to cause any undue stress but I thought everyone should know. Chicago is currently under a tornado watch. According to my sailor when the weather gets bad the recruits have to shelter in place. So calls might be delayed depending on how long the watch stays up. Additionaly all flights at O'Hare are grounded.

Comment by Justins Proud Mama of a Sailor on October 26, 2010 at 9:32am: Can't wait to hear about all those phone calls today. I hope ya'll get some rest today Charity and Erica after you get your call. Praying for our divisions tonight....we are almost there:))))))

Comment by SailorSeansDad(Ship12Div354) on October 26, 2010 at 8:03am: Congratulations to all the men and women who have passed BS21....and Good Luck to those going tonight...including my son. Only 3 more days!!

Comment by diannep on October 26, 2010 at 7:52am: momof3: Even if worst case scenario and he didn't pass, he will be allowed to go in Thurs night's group (next PIR group), and will pass. It would just mean that he has to sit in the balcony for PIR because of being up all night, but he would be in uniform and there. Don't worry...it may be that he didn't get to a phone in time. He could call today in that case. You never got a call before BStations that he hadn't passed his run, swim, etc, did you? They have to pass all of that before BStations, but usually call home if they will miss their BStations date. Let's hope that his call comes today!

Comment by MRs L* on October 26, 2010 at 7:51am: well last night was terrible.. tossed and turned all night.. now i have major butterflies.. cant wait for my call today! :)
