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 navyfam on November 26, 2010 at 8:49pm: Lynne, I love your cartoon! I am so happy for all of you that have received letter and calls! But I must admit I am a little jealous too. No call and no letters....I expect the boyfriend to get those first though. Say a little prayer that we'll hear something soon...1 letter would be nice

Comment by DramaboysMom on November 26, 2010 at 7:47pm: Ok my lovelies, I have come to the conclusion that there are no other SR in ship07 div 46. ( i know it not true, but sure feels like it!)
I have never received letters from my kiddo when he was at camp ( for 2 or 3 weeks at a time) when he was on tour in England, so if I get a letter, I will be surprised. Now phone calls, that is another story.. He IS a talk-a-holic!
As for those of you lucky dogs that got calls and letters, ( even if you missed it) congrats.
ON a lighter note, my son at home was on tv news for waiting outside our Best Buy starting at 5:30 pm last night! They interviewed him for the 11 pm news and then got a shot of him and the masses entering the store. Will his brother be jealous!!!

Comment by mmaya1109 on November 26, 2010 at 7:46pm: TO EVERYONE- have yall booked yalls air line tickets and yalls hotel yet ??????? And when is maybe cuttin it close to book it all??????

Comment by Lynne on November 26, 2010 at 7:14pm: I am so glad for those of you who got calls and Kate-tony...I am so sorry you missed that call...I know that hurts...rest assured you are not the first to have missed it. Get to writing that apology letter and pour your heart out...I know the guilt is killing you...but you can't help it so just let it go and there will be another call...han in there!!

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on November 26, 2010 at 7:12pm: I booked my ticket today for 1/14/2010. Did anybody try Spirit Air? The ticket was ultra inexpensive in comparison to the one I had to buy to get to my daughter's graduation in December. Of course for everything you do after buying the ticket you have to pay. So if you intend to just carry a small carry on you are good to go.

Comment by mmaya1109 on November 26, 2010 at 6:54pm: hey o WOW today is a great day for EVERYONE ..... i got my first letter or letters too!!!!!!!! o man i cryed so hard but i was sooo happy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NS- im on cloud 9 too!!
he said everything is going good. he said that there has been some rough times but he said he will graduate on time :)

Comment by NS on November 26, 2010 at 5:09pm: Got my first letter today!! Yay!! After 9 hours of shopping I get the best gift I could ever ask for.. a letter from him before I leave for Florida tomorrow! I thought for sure I wouldn't get one until I got home from Florida. Yay for me!!! =] Quite literally on cloud 9 right now!!

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on November 26, 2010 at 1:53pm: My Son is Ship 12 Div 039. He has been there since November 4 and today would have been the first call I got from him and I missed it...Karla I guesss they are well..they say no news is good news...
