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 bluewarriorlady on November 29, 2010 at 8:05pm: Ugh! I was in the ER all day...found out that I have laryngitis! Yuck! How is everyone today? I'm trying to catch up on all of the comments!

Comment by nicksmom on November 29, 2010 at 7:20pm: missin shawn. I rec'd my letter from my son today. He is in your fiance's division. I feel so much better knowing that he is doing good. I know he says the division is having issues. hopefully, they will pull together so we can get a phone call soon.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on November 29, 2010 at 7:07pm: mmaya- I do make the ribbons and I do sell them. I only charge $5.00; enough to pay for supplies and expenses. They are about the size of your hand and look much better in person. It is impossible to get a good picture of them. They are a great way to show support for your sailor at PIR, they help you recognize other N4M members at PIR and/or Meet and Greet and they make a great keepsake for scrapbooks or shadow boxes. If you send me a friend request I will send you all the info for ordering them.

Comment by AshJewell on November 29, 2010 at 7:04pm: JudieK-She heard that from me, I got my 2nd letter today. i put an update on the div. in the discussion above.

Comment by Karla~ (S 12 D 042 - PIR 1/14) on November 29, 2010 at 6:02pm: Haha - I love that,Lynne! Great story - made me laugh out loud! I have no doubt that you are right. What a different world they are living in right now!

Comment by Debbie2 on November 29, 2010 at 6:00pm: Oh I am sure mine is not innocent! LOL!! He stated that every little thing has been wrong! I was just so happy to get a letter today, unfortuantely the letters were addressed to his girlfriend, to myself and to dad, nothing to his little sister so she has been beside herself, walking around reading and re-reading my letter. Amazing how much a piece of paper comes to mean when you haven't been able to talk to or see your child!
