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 January 7, 2011 at 9:48pm: Doubtful it's the phone lines at this point...oh man. Well, I guess I am going to bed. My little one is kicking very hard and it hurts..I was hoping to hear my sailor's voice, but it's already almost 9 PM. It looks like it is too late. Talk to you all tomorrow. :-(

Comment by bluewarriorlady on January 7, 2011 at 9:33pm: Has anyone else from div 41/42 not received a phone call? I am getting sleepy but I dont wanna miss the call if it ever comes...

Comment by BearyBlueNavyWife! on January 7, 2011 at 8:45pm: Oh, I'm going to cry and very ready for my call too! I'm glad I can talk to the love ones of those that are at bootcamp too!

Comment by freedomfighter on January 7, 2011 at 8:40pm: HOOYAH!!! Congratulations to all the new sailors. I am so excited I am crying as I type this. I am so anxious to hear from my son and am so happy for all of you with graduations. Great going every Sailor!!!!

Comment by SailorsLove11310(GibsonsGF) on January 7, 2011 at 8:35pm: BearyBlueNavyWife- Ship 07 DIV 046!!! That's the one my man is in!! I can't wait till the 14th! & for our calls! My boyfriend said the same thing about the guys who have never seen snow! We live in Ohio , It's abundant here (:

Comment by nicole (ship 12 division 041) on January 7, 2011 at 8:11pm: Congratulations to all of the newest United States Navy Sailors! I just read down below that everyone in division 041 passed! My boyfriend is in that division but from Tuesday - Thursday he was in the hospital because he had a pneumonia. I'm pretty sure he left the hospital around 1 pm, do you think he had battle stations last night or will he do it with another division? When I talked to him yesterday on the phone, he told me that he had no idea if he would be set back because he was sick....

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on January 7, 2011 at 8:07pm: There you go Blue...the phones are just tied up with all the Sailors calling home.

Comment by susanm(ZEKESMOM) on January 7, 2011 at 8:03pm: I received my call (DIV 41) shortly after 5:00. I also have a new SAILOR. Yea! He was very tired and he is sick. He sounded awful but said that everything went well and he was just looking forward to getting some rest later tonight. Hang in there ladies, your calls will come as soon as your recruits are able to call. Congrats to everyone.
