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 nicole (ship 12 division 041) on January 5, 2011 at 12:16am: thank you so much everyone ! it means a lot to have this support from all of you ! i have a question - he told me his missed passing his run yesterday by 2 seconds so he had to retake it today & thats when he got sick & taken to the hospital.... but since he didn't pass his run what could happen ?

Comment by ProudGMBarb on January 5, 2011 at 12:10am: Nicole, thinking of you and your boyfriend/soon sailor. Will say an extra prayer for his speedy recovery. I can imagine his frustration and probably wants to jump out of bed and get back to his division. He's in good medical hands...everyone there also wants to help him get back on his feet and succeed! Hang in there. All us Navy Moms...or in my case...Grandma....are thinking of you both. Hugs.

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on January 4, 2011 at 11:17pm: Nicole...prayers out to your sailor...

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 4, 2011 at 11:15pm: Nicole, prayers for your soon to be sailor. I hope he doesn't get set bac,k but the important thing now is for him to get well. The good news is once they get them on antibiotics they usually start getting better pretty quickly. I will keep you both in my prayers.

Vanessa- the calls don't usually start until about 2 in the afternoon eastern time. So maybe you will be okay and he won't call before 3. My call didn't come until about 6 in the evening and I am on the East coast as well.

Comment by nicole (ship 12 division 041) on January 4, 2011 at 11:05pm: thank you ! i just got off the phone with him - i talked to him for 2 hours..... i found out he has a pneumonia & he was dehydrated :/ i don't know if he will be set back but i'm praying that he won't.... i don't know how long he will be in the hospital for & he said hes missing important stuff now

Comment by bluewarriorlady on January 4, 2011 at 10:53pm: Nicole - praying for you.

Comment by Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on January 4, 2011 at 10:44pm: Vanessa...it is a anytime thing...it goes on for a lengthy period...after they are more or less done and hang out my daughter said. The call could come at anytime.,remember there are 11 divisions and at least 88 recruits in each...so go figure why it is so hard to get a call from your recruit

Comment by Lori on January 4, 2011 at 10:09pm: Blue star mom - kid in service

Gold star mom- kid killed in service

Comment by nicole (ship 12 division 041) on January 4, 2011 at 9:53pm: i'm on the phone with my boyfriend now and he is in the hospital sick :( everyone please say a prayer for him :/ i really hope that he doesn't get set back....

Comment by Vanessa on January 4, 2011 at 9:35pm: So I know the answer to this is probably very unclear... but does anyone know about what time SR's usually call after BS? I start my first day of student teaching the day my SR will be calling. It seems like they normally call during the evening, but I'm sure it's one of those "could happen anytime" things. Have any of you read anything that gives any indication? It seems like most of the posts I read, the SR's call later in the evening and are always very tired and ready for bed. Just curious...
