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 Sugarscoop (ship 12 Div 038) on November 11, 2010 at 4:44pm: I agree Ms.Ampi We were the only parents at MEPS when 7 boys were getting sworn in and the only parents at the airport waiting with our son. I felt like hugging and kissing them all.

Comment by diannep on November 11, 2010 at 4:44pm: Lydia: Have you been taking lessons from Craig on posting the little cute animation thingies? HA! I always enjoyed his on the 9/2 group! Love the one you posted below....

Comment by Sugarscoop (ship 12 Div 038) on November 11, 2010 at 4:41pm: hahaha I knew that....it's my age.

Comment by diannep on November 11, 2010 at 4:24pm: Sugarscoop: Remember, no mail today...Veteran's Day. Tomorrow is another chance to get the box or letter!

Comment by Ms. Ampi USS Germantown on November 11, 2010 at 4:22pm: I hope there is a lesson here to be learned at the recruiting offices. At times, I was always made to feel I was a bother asking to many questions. At the time my daughter was 17 when she signed and you better believe I was there. Regardless, when she turned 18, I was there being a nosy body still asking questions. If there could be something to change, I would like for more parent involvement during this recruit process. At least in my area. Good luck Nurse:)

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 11, 2010 at 4:20pm: Man does my heart break for Nurse and upsets me because I never want anyone to have a low opinion of this Great Navy and how sad that a few sailors (recruiters) actions can cause that! =0(

Well, on this note IM HEADING home all... I will check in tonight and I PROMISE to get that clock back up there and running like a charm! Im suprised becki did not fire me as the keeper of the Info person hahahahahah

taaaa taaaaa

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 11, 2010 at 4:17pm: Sugar.. hang in there... When I got my form letter on the Thursday after the Wed the week prior... I was actually one of the first most everyone got theirs on Friday and several on the next week Mon Tues Wed... they were in a panic. Now let me say this though... there were a few whose kids sent it to a different family memeber such as in a divorce situation. Im not being nosey just making sure that there is no one else who your recruite might have sent it too?? Well, I would not worry like I said it can take up to 2 weeks as some of our parents found out!

Comment by Sugarscoop (ship 12 Div 038) on November 11, 2010 at 4:14pm: Well, still no letter...or box ={ Wow Good Luck to you Nurse.

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 11, 2010 at 4:05pm: Nurse - will you come back and visit us and let us know how she is doing and you too????
