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 Heather(labellaleigh) - ETwife on November 10, 2010 at 10:30pm: savannahgal - my sailor is an ET Nuke in the 369.

Comment by savannahgal-nukemom1110MT on November 10, 2010 at 10:21pm: Yay 370!!! Was tied up in knots all day, waiting for the call. So my husband comes home from work and wants to go clothes shopping for the trip. We go to every shoe store in the mall looking for size 12 WW shoes to no avail. Then he decides he needs pants. We are in the men's dept. of the Belk store and the phone rings with the 847 area code. I screamed right in my husband's ear! Dennis was so casual, "Hey, what are y'all doing tonight? Well just thought I'd call and tell you I passed..." Said the whole group made it through. Also found out he will be an ET nuke, and that there were 4 other nukes in his div. and something like 15 nukes in 369. Gosh, he sounded good, just like his old self but so tired, since he said he's been up since 5:30 Tues. morning. Great Lakes, here we come! Thanks so much, ladies, for ALL the encouragement.

Comment by HeatherSRfiancee(Shp2/Div952) on November 10, 2010 at 9:58pm: Got my call around 3:30 today!!! Got to talk to him for another hour! Congratulations to our SAILORS!!! Can't believe we're a day and a wake up away from seeing them!!!

Comment by leslie (SHIP 11, DIV 370) on November 10, 2010 at 9:55pm: YEAH !!! I got my call....he said that he was really tired. They have really been busy. They may not have won anything......but 370....y'all rock !!! I am glad that they came together and finish all their tests. They did it !!! Now, I can't wait until I see him Friday !! I am really gonna cry so hard. This has really been a wonderful experience talking to everyone on here and it has helped me out for the past 2 months. Oh, and yes, my son did say that alot of the people did get teary eyed and he cried. Well, I told him to just wait until Friday. I am so PROUD of him !!
