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 Tobianne on November 9, 2010 at 5:15pm: yes they can have internet usage it does cost them like 7 bucks an hour. I am not sure if they will be in THU or not, but the Nex I have been told has the computers also. THU for sure has them.

Depends on when they leave and what they have been told, my daughter was able to have her phone and she had 3 girls that had PIR'd the Friday before that also had their cells. Kayla had her lap top. Kept the THU Sailors in music for the next few days... lol it just all depends on where they will be and for how long.

Comment by diannep on November 9, 2010 at 4:56pm: savannahgirl: Just saw Lynne's post that you were responding too. She was talking about storing things for those staying on in GL for A School. The locker situation would not apply to those who are flying out.
