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 pebbles0613 on October 25, 2010 at 7:24pm: Who has a daughter in div 949 that will be staying in town until monday? My daughter told me today that she will be going on liberty sunday with another girl in her div but I can't remember who she said. My daughter's name is Ariel. Thought we could exchange emails and if you take any pics on sunday you could email them to me. We leave out on sunday morning as I have to be back at work on monday morning. Really wish I could stay, she wanted me to go to church with her on sunday morning.

Comment by Carly on October 25, 2010 at 7:19pm: ACM- It makes me happy to hear they have some more privileges :) Thanks for sharing that, I was wondering what Aaron would be up to all week and whether he would have some free time or not!

Good luck to all divisions going through BS21 tonight!!!

Comment by AirCrewMom (SailorMOM)Div 349 on October 25, 2010 at 7:12pm: Congratulations to all Sailor Moms/Grandmoms/GFs/Fiancees/Dads/Grandads today...bros and sisters etc....

Comment by AirCrewMom (SailorMOM)Div 349 on October 25, 2010 at 7:11pm: Sorry I forgot to mentioned Proud Sailor MOM, Div 350 and Div 823.
My sailor called us on Saturday after the cups since they had BS on Friday and now a sailor they have privileges such as junk foods and comp time in the nex so dont be surprise if they call again..now that they are sailors. already noticed the charges from taco bell and the nex...

Comment by Tiff'sMom (Sharon) on October 25, 2010 at 7:04pm: Congrats to all the new sailors!!

Tiffany said they did HOURS and HOURS of practicing marching and lining up for the ceremony, they also get a pizza party (all of them together, prob on Weds or Thurs night) they get all their bunks in order, some get to go to the NEX... she said the atmosphere is totally different :) they still have to follow rules and do their watches and all, but it's a much better atmosphere :)

Comment by Carly on October 25, 2010 at 7:03pm: Proud Mom- I read on here over the weekend that it was 350 for the integrated divisions and 823 for the non integrated. I'm still confused on how people knew, but at least we found out :) Congrats on your SR and phone call today!

Comment by diannep on October 25, 2010 at 6:57pm: Andy'sDadEric: They call later in the day because they have chores, etc to do after the capping ceremony. They are not allowed to sleep until tonight, so they keep them busy!

Comment by ProudMomS of a SAILOR! 10/29/10 on October 25, 2010 at 6:39pm: I was so excited to talk to my SR that I forgot to ask who won the Captains Cup. Does anyone know?

Comment by Twin Sailors Mom on October 25, 2010 at 6:33pm: What a relief! Congrats to all our new Sailors and good luck to Div 351 and 352 tonight!

Comment by Miasmom Proud sister of a Sailor on October 25, 2010 at 6:14pm: To those who've already gone thru this before - Lora and Mary K - what wil our sailors be doing these last days up until PIR!?
