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 proudmom89 PIR 11/12 Ship 11 Div on November 13, 2010 at 11:40pm: Hi everyone!!! So happy to finally get to see my Sailor and enjoy our time with him. I am not looking forward to tomorrow but happy for the time we have had. Can anyone tell me if there is a place to rent a storage locker or something safe to keep his computer and Xbox until he actually attaches to A school? We brought it with us but he can't take it with him right now. Just wondering if anyone else has had to figure out this situation. Hope everyone is enjoying their time as much as we are!!!! Missed you Leslie. Sounds like you are having a great time with your sailor.

Comment by Christina (EM Nuke gf 1111M ) on November 13, 2010 at 10:33pm: I know on their liberty weekends they can go 75 miles max but they have to be back at the barracks at like midnight each night for the first couple of weeks. But i dontknow if they have liberty and stuff thanksgiving day

Comment by Heather(labellaleigh) - ETwife on November 13, 2010 at 10:31pm: One told me they are able to leave up to 75 miles out for the weekend, while others say they can't leave. Ben thinks we will be moving that weekend! I am so confused, I just stopped asking questions and wait. Just making sure lol.

Comment by Christina (EM Nuke gf 1111M ) on November 13, 2010 at 10:26pm: No Idea my sailor doesnt even know.. They will probably learn more once they actually get there

Comment by Heather(labellaleigh) - ETwife on November 13, 2010 at 10:24pm: So not ready for tomorrow =/ But at least it will be 2-4 weeks until I see him again. Any news on the Nuke's Thanksgiving holiday????

Comment by Christina (EM Nuke gf 1111M ) on November 13, 2010 at 10:20pm: Same here!!! <3in my time here.. even though it is too cold lol just got done shopping at the NEX... spend 70$ there hahaha

Comment by Tobianne on November 13, 2010 at 8:45pm: haha yes it is. Mine has gotten a new tattoo and gotten her hair done a few times. Been at the mall every chance she has gotten. To say the least she is basically living pay check to pay check!! lol Thank goodness they can go to the galley and eat!!

No its not that bad for her but she does spend wayyyyy to much money. I know I am always asked to please check my account for me. lol So I tend to ask more questions than I think she is willing to answer.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 13, 2010 at 8:25pm: Believe me when I say there will be days when you are wondering how they can have so much time to call you and talk talk talk, lol. After A-school they move on to another place and if they are like my sailor they will call you tons. She got to the new base and was on hold for 4 weeks. She didn't know anyone and was lonely and very bored. She caled me and we would talk for 30 or 40 min 5 or 6 times a day lol. She also spent too much money at the mall. Boredom is expensive lol.

Comment by Tobianne on November 13, 2010 at 8:11pm: Dee- she is so right about both. The gift,and the spotty reception. I do more texting now than I ever have. Thank God I have a keybored on my phone! I love when she can go off base and have her phone with good reception. Now does this means she remembers to call me then? NOOOO, unless she wants something!! lol

diannep- I just spoke with Suzi from PIR 8/13 she says her boy is now more chatty than he ever has been, I told her Kay has become less chatty!! lol she is off and running all the time with her "new" buddies.
