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 Danielsmom ship 3 div 346 on October 13, 2009 at 7:14am: I have come to love and depend on you all so much so I'm sending out a prayer request. My 6 week old great neice died Sunday night, looks like the swine flu, autopsy results leaning that way. Her 23 year old parents are devistated. I'm leaving in the morning for services, Please keep our family in your prayers.
thanks, Robin

If your son's ever need a "mom" I can get to them pretty fast. I know there is several of you out there from our group so just email me. My son stayed up at Great Lakes. He has been able to call today a few times. lol.

Comment by wisconsinmom on October 12, 2009 at 2:41pm: Erin G, how exciting. Was it an 850 area code? Got a call on my cell about 40 min. ago but no one was there and eventually disconnected. Hoping it was my son and he will try again.

It was an amazing experience, I am at peace with knowing that Daniel is happy, I didn't even cry when I left him because I know he is doing what he wants to do. I hope everyones journey was safe.

Comment by paddysmima on October 10, 2009 at 1:14pm: Congratulations to all of you and your son/ daughter. My son Mike, called Friday after graduation to let me know he was officially in the US Navy. I was like " Gee Mikey. You couldn't have called sooner to let me know?" He just laughed and said why waste the call. He wanted to let me know when it was to late for the Navy to change thier minds. I hope everyone had a wonderful visit and a really good time. Again, congratulations.

Comment by Brenda Sue on October 9, 2009 at 4:29pm: Thanks for letting me be part of this awesome group!! Your PIR was just as amazing as my Sailor's was!! That is Molly with both her Sailors!! Her newest one got his orders today! He is headed for Japan!! He will be on the USS Blueridge - the "Finest Ship" in the Navy!! The Admiral of the entire 7th fleet is aboard this ship! He will be doing LOTS of traveling!
