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 diannep on January 11, 2011 at 10:03am: ej grandma: Some would have been shipped to A School by now, others may still be held in GL leaving in the next few days. Do you know where he was going for A School? Hopefully once he gets there and gets settled, he can call you.

Comment by Ersmom CVN71/Roosevelt on January 11, 2011 at 10:02am: Thanks, Diannep... it angered me to see all the way through Tennessee, Nashville and south to the line, it was cleared. As soon as we got to Alabama... it was horrible. We had to cross a bridge over the Tennessee river... I was in fear. It was a solid sheet of ice, and no matter what anybody says... no one can really drive on ice, and it had not been touched or treated at all. God is good... we made it.

Comment by diannep on January 11, 2011 at 9:59am: Julie, since he had early lights out and the calls were late yesterday, just MAYBE today he will call??? I sure hope so.

Comment by diannep on January 11, 2011 at 9:58am: Ersmom: It has been all over the news that the "South" doesn't have the equipment to keep the roads clear. Hopefully it will be in the budgets to get before NEXT year. They said that Atlanta is really socked in because of lack of snow-clearing equipment. Glad you made it home safely!

Comment by Ersmom CVN71/Roosevelt on January 11, 2011 at 9:35am: Please keep the DVD, Ericsmom.... I did not get one.

I just got home from Great Lakes last night... drove back to Alabama. Everything was closed here. When we got to the state line, our state did NOTHING to the roads. It was a stressful drive home. We had to drive an additional 50 plus miles from the line to get home.

Just catching up.... Ericsmom, let me know. I will gladly pay you and pay shipping to get it!

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on January 11, 2011 at 9:13am: DONT FORGET YALL NOW HAVE AN ALUMNI SITE THAT WILL GET BUSY... SO CHECK IN THERE AS WELL.

ej grandma..... ericsmom has a dvd of the PIR you can buy so that you can see the ceremony. Believe me well worth having one!!!! Yes a lot of the Sailors are gone on now to their A schools etc. They sell them through the NEX in GL. She bought an extra....

navymom and sugarscoop... how sweet!!!!!!

Julie - My thought is still the usual.... No News Is Good News.... I hate to say those famous words but hang in there a bit longer! His situation is soo different than the other kids were. Remember one thing... The Navy WANTS him to pass and Im sure he did!!! Also, this too shall pass. Soon this will be over and he and you will be on to better brighter days.. I promise it will get better soon!!!
