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 rickysmom0403(ship 12 div 034) on January 7, 2011 at 10:06pm: Finally back at our hotel. Got call to pick up son at 330 at train station- we were sitting there and no one around, I told husband we must be at wrong place so I made him drive to gate and ask the guard said we were at only train station waiting and waiting then son call and said ahh I see you but you are on the WRONG side!!! I am like how to do get over there. HEHEHE, We have him til Sunday!!

I wish I could have given his RDC's a big thank you hug!!

Comment by Julie- (CVN 69 IKE) on January 7, 2011 at 8:59pm: well to show that I am still pouting... it really wsnt even 2 whole hours I got to see D because he had to be back at 4 so he left at 3:30 so he would be late and didnt get there until about 230 or a little later, but I will take it.

Comment by Julie- (CVN 69 IKE) on January 7, 2011 at 8:52pm: Im here, Im here!! =) Lydia, thank you so much for all your caring support!!!! You are Amazing!! I finally got to see D around 2:30 today after a super nice Chief tracked him down for me and had him sent over. Before then we were told we could see him at 1, then after we got back to the hotel we were told that was wrong that we should be there at 12, so we headed back to the base only to be told, nope D was a special case and it WAS 1 oclock after all. (woops) and since this is a public place i will refrain to repeat what my actual thoughts were at that moment. Well 1 oclock came and went, 2 oclock came and went and then we met the Chief Finally I got to see him. He had NO IDEA we were there. The only good part about the wait was that I did get to meet Precious and her daughter. they helped keep me occupied while I pouted. He is scheduled to do Battlestations on sunday night and then will be back on track... no graduation ceremony for him he will go straight from Battlestations to A school. He was so positive and upbeat about everything that he made me feel better but two hours went by soooo fast. Thank you so much everyone for the thoughts and encouragement thru such a long and stressfull day. =) 18 years ago when My husband went through bootcamp at Great Lakes, after we had just been married a few years and I had a 1year old I thought THAT was hard.... but now I have decided that was nothing...being a Mom is much harder than being the wife.
