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 Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 9, 2010 at 8:51pm: ericsmom -- hooooooooooooooyaaaaaaaaaaaa the box..... such emotions.... we left ours just sitting there for a few days .... kinda like having him there.... Anyway ... check for the cell phone and the battery in the shoe or bottom of box.... kewl let us know how that goes ..........

Comment by ericsmom (ship12 div033) on November 9, 2010 at 8:49pm: I got my BOX today,, Cant wait to open it. I am waiting for my sons girlfriend to get here. She had better hurry up!!!!!

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 9, 2010 at 8:37pm: MOMs listen up................. If you hear the term..... "I got beat down" ....... that is not a literal term..... that simply means that the recruits are in trouble and may have to do situps, push ups, running, standing in line holding canteens for a while. etc... part of the game they are facing.... NO they dont hit or touch them ..... For example..... a friend of mine sent B (my son) a musical card... heck she did not know..... well,,,,, he got beat down for that.... Simply meant that he had to drop and do Push ups and so did the rest of his division..... DONT PANIC

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on November 9, 2010 at 8:14pm: Lynne you are too cute! and yes true that....

OMG here is a funny story about that VERY thing---- check this out moms..... Soooooooo one day near PIR time.. I posted a question about the trains and how to get to down town etc..... well someone friended me and it was a person from RTC.... with the answer to my question -- they gave great detail to my question..... sooo I of course friended them and come to find out it was my sons RDC. Now my son thought his RDCs were just the best of the best - but they called him into their office and showed B my pictures on my My Page.... The RDC rode a motorcycle and loved that I did too so it was not a bad thing....and they loved the pictures. point is....... BUT ... I said that to say this.... I agree with Lynne..... you do NOT know who that person is until you get to know them here!!!!! BE CAREFUL anyone in the world can access these sites not just the Navy.... keep your info secure!

They do it for free yes... one person here however needs to take charge and do a head count for them but in a few weeks.... let me get the total info on it and Ill post it up in the forum area....

Comment by Kimber Ship 12 DIV 035 on November 9, 2010 at 8:06pm: I agree Ampi...someone said there was a place that did it for free... Ramada? do you know who that was Lydia?
