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 November 10, 2010 at 10:06am: Leslie - deep breath, calming thoughts.....our SR's are now SAILORS, I just know it! Stretch your back, roll your shoulders and take a deep breath again. These next few hours are going to be CRAZY for us as we wait for "the call", but it will come!

Comment by leslie (SHIP 11, DIV 370) on November 10, 2010 at 10:03am: OMG !! This is making me nervous. I couldn't sleep last night at all and now all I am doing is waiting on my call ! This week has been really exhausting for me. No sleep, waking up during all times of the night. And my back is starting to hurt again. I guess that it is alot of stress that is causing it to hurt. I just can't wait until I get my call today. Maybe that will relieve some of the stress. Now, all I can do is sit and wait !

Comment by HeatherMc(ship11, DIV 369) on November 10, 2010 at 10:01am: Well it's 8:00 in Great Lakes BS 21 should be concluding.

Comment by Nick'sMomTerri on November 10, 2010 at 9:35am: Safe travels to you and everyone else for tomorrows PIR labellaleigh.

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on November 10, 2010 at 9:31am: Safe travels Labella! See you tomorrow!

Comment by Heather(labellaleigh) - ETwife on November 10, 2010 at 9:26am: On our way to GL! I'm crossing my fingers that all our SR's passed!! Everyone PLEASE have a safe trip!

Comment by Tobianne on November 10, 2010 at 8:57am: THU is temporary holding unit. This is where some sailors will be until they either get orders or until they leave if this may be a few days. Just depends. This is also ironically ship 5!! Seps ship, they will have duty driving the seps kids back and forth, if they are moved to THU>

Comment by Tobianne on November 10, 2010 at 8:55am: Ladies it will be around 2-3 central time. I know you all must be crazy with excitement. For those who may not have heard from your Sailor yesterday, remember they may have been standing watch. They will call. Just relax. I know it is fearful. If so some reason they did not pass BS-21, they can actually run it tonight and or Thursday night. If they run Thursday night, they will not march with the divisions. They will go and sit in the balcony as they are tired and they do not want to over work the body snatchers or cause injury to the very tired Sailors!! lol This I fear is a true thing about the body snatchers/catchers. lol

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on November 10, 2010 at 8:54am: Tobianne - what is THU?

Comment by Diana PIR 11/12/10 on November 10, 2010 at 8:54am: From looking back to the other days after BS, calls started coming in around 1-2pm Central time.....
