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 wisconsinmom on September 17, 2009 at 9:33am: My son thinks he will leave on Sunday after graduation but said he won't know for sure until a few days before graduation. Have to wait until the Navy puts it in writing.

Comment by Danielsmom ship 3 div 346 on September 17, 2009 at 6:49am: Good Morning everyone I hope you all have a nice day. I have a long shift today so I won't be around. Hope everyone gets letters and calls.

Comment by valeriejean on September 16, 2009 at 7:05pm: I know Daniel has said in the past that Div 351 has had trouble with talkers as well! They had IT one day because a handful were up past curfew making all sorts of noise! He had hopped they learned the first time, but said nope, still a group causing some trouble. Maybe tomorrow's (I hope) letters will have better news!

Comment by Danielsmom ship 3 div 346 on September 16, 2009 at 4:45pm: Bless your heart, I have heard much of the same from my son in 346, I wish they would put the ones together that want to do this and just send the ones home that are making it rough for everyone else. But, you know thats just life, there are always a few trouble makers in a crowd

Comment by Danielsmom ship 3 div 346 on September 16, 2009 at 3:14pm: wow that is interesting, I didn' know they could get packages, ever. Maybe its a reward for her group. Please let us know. I have to tell ya'll this its so funny Daniel made a comment on the "form letter" we sent. The question was what do you want me to bring at graduation? He said "good toilet paper"! Is that not to funny, THere's must be like a corn cob for him to complain. lol

Comment by Danielsmom ship 3 div 346 on September 16, 2009 at 2:24pm: Ok is everyone scared to come back on line? lol

Comment by Danielsmom ship 3 div 346 on September 16, 2009 at 1:25pm: Emptynest, if I were you I would call your recruiter or the email address the Purplepig gave out and see if there was a misunderstanding or if your son is just delayed for some reason. But ladies I hope we're all calmed down now, I know that I am. Life is good again.

Comment by valeriejean on September 16, 2009 at 1:17pm: Whew! Thank you! I called the recruiter and got the answer of the 14th instead of the 16th or 9th! Glad we have all these wonderful people to help guide us! Thanks everyone!

Comment by Mary, Proud Mom of Nick on September 16, 2009 at 12:59pm: Good morning Oct 9th PIR families...

Unless you get a phone call from your recruit - you should get your cameras ready for October 9th. Have a great day!
