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 ProudGMBarb on January 11, 2011 at 6:03pm: Good News! Just found out our grandson is headed for BattleStations tonight!

Haven't been this excited in a long time! Please keep him and all the others doing BS tonight in your prayers!

Comment by Kacey on January 11, 2011 at 6:02pm: Tamme, Sarah's friend went thru boot-camp back in Jul/Aug (they met in DEP), and he's in A-school at GL right now. He got a letter from her today and she told him about getting 2nd for the Cup and getting all the flags. (It's silly that she can literally see his dorm from her window but they have to write to each other!) We got a letter from her Saturday that said to expect 'the call' on Wednesday, so that's how I know their BS is tonight. I normally don't worry about things I have no control over but this suspense is killing me!

Comment by Tamme on January 11, 2011 at 5:43pm: I apologize Kacey, I meant daughter.

Comment by bluewarriorlady on January 11, 2011 at 5:42pm: Hey everyone! Hope that you all are having a great day! I am in class right now trying to pay attention, but I keep staring at my phone hoping for my husband's call! Praying for all of you who are waiting for calls as well! Hope that everyone is staying warm -- the snow is coming down here in Michigan. Love you all!

Comment by Tamme on January 11, 2011 at 5:37pm: All right Division 45!!! Kacey, is your son in that Division? Mine is and I hope to meet you. How did you find this info out? I am so excited for them.
