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 Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 23, 2010 at 7:29am: I've seen a couple different posts about hotels, I'll have to go back and see. And I've read the same thing about the Ramada. As soon as I get the form letter with a firm date (still won't believe it til I see it) then I plan to book my flights and hotel, so it's never to early! :-)

Comment by Mom from St Pete on September 23, 2010 at 6:59am: Has anyone checked on hotels yet? I have read from others moms the Ramada is not to good (smells). I was wondering about the Navy hotel? Anyone heard if it is OK or not? I know it is early just checking.

Comment by Mom from St Pete on September 23, 2010 at 6:45am: So true..... I can't wait to come home from work and here the words You have mail from your son. I am sure it will not be till next week. But we still look everyday just in case.

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on September 23, 2010 at 5:05am: I am still waiting for my letter as well....It's funny, I KNOW where is is, and I KNOW that he will be ok....but I won't be comfortable until I get the form letter ! A real letter from my son would be like....hmmm.....Dark Chocolate and Red Wine! PERFECT!

Comment by ziggyj on September 22, 2010 at 10:25pm: Devin's mom- I was smiling at your boxer short comment- I was the same way. I haven't even washed it yet- it sure needs it though. Travis is our one and only child too. Our house is suddenly so QUIET.

Comment by ziggyj on September 22, 2010 at 10:20pm: I'm terrible at texing Mom from St. Pete- my son used to roll his eyes because I always wrote like I was writing a letter. HA

Comment by Mom from St Pete on September 22, 2010 at 10:11pm: I love that comment Ziggyi about the thumbs..... Too funny, I think my son is also because all he did was text. I am probable one of the few he talks to due to I am not great at texting.

Comment by ziggyj on September 22, 2010 at 10:03pm: No letter for us today, but hopeful for tomorrow. I keep thinking that my son's thumbs are probably twitching from lack of texting!

Comment by Mom from St Pete on September 22, 2010 at 9:56pm: I have a 2 pager ready to go just waiting on the address. All this waiting is very hard to deal with. By the time I get the address I may have a 4 page letter ready to send off. I just hope he has time to read them. Also hope he takes the time to write me and his girl friend back. She is counting on him writting us back.

Comment by ladypinkhatter on September 22, 2010 at 8:36pm: I too got the letter today! The note made me cry....trying to pull it together. Sending her first letter off tonight. I have been writing it since she left...lol.
