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 cindy/ship04/div.802 on January 5, 2011 at 7:33pm: Got my call, I was in the middle of my preschool class so it was hard to hear, he passed but he is sick so it was hard to know that he did all this while he has a temp, am praying for them all to stay awake until 9pm . he did tell a story where he took the final exam and then he had to go to his job before he knew the results, well his div. walked by and no one would look at him then the RDC told him he had failed it, he said he was beside himself as he has done so well up to that point, and no else could believe it, he stayed up all night re studying and when he went to retest they found out that when he had hit submit it had not gone through and they had never got the first test so when they found the first test he had passed so all that stress for nothing, but its behind him now and they are US SAILORS.I will pray for the SWCC that could be any of our guys or gals.

Comment by NavymomGG on January 5, 2011 at 7:03pm: Oh Bonnie..Thank You. That would be great..I'm not sure if we are friends but I will try to contact you to give you my name..I'm going to try to figure this out...lol..not tech savvy...

Comment by NavymomGG on January 5, 2011 at 6:52pm: WE are Here !! In Chicago..on the hotel computer anxiously awaiting my call. Thank you all for posting...What a relief..It is getting very cold. It was chilly and slight flurries when we landed a couple of hours ago but the flurries stopped and the temperature dropped. Not too too bad but if you are out for a little while your face gets very cold..I am surprised that there isn't any snow to speak of..Thought there would be tons..nope...Is anyone going to be at the meet n greet who is staying at the Residence Inn? Lala is having ribbons sent there for me but I am not staying there and don't have a car. The ribbons will arrive thursday by 3 pm..Wondering if anyone staying there could bring them to the meet n greet for me... Congratulations Everyone !!!!
