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 Kat (MM Nuke) on October 28, 2010 at 5:24pm: Got another letter. He has the MRI today and run tomorrow. Praying, praying, praying. He said that if all goes well, he WILL have liberty all weekend after PIR and will fly out to S.C. on Wed. the 10th. Don't know if all Nukes are the same, but hopefully so. Said he has been soooo sick and finally got antibiotics. that on top of everything else. Says if I don't get a call then all is good, so now I sure hope the phone doesn't ring.

Comment by Lynne on October 28, 2010 at 5:24pm: Alicia...I think she means she can't spend the night with you. They have to be back usually at 8 or 9 PM. That is their curfew. You need to make sure she is back early because if they are late they can lose their liberty for the next day!!

Comment by Lynne on October 28, 2010 at 5:22pm: Okay folks we have a snooper from RTC who has expressed concerned about battlestations being posted. Traditionally this has always been done. This is a career counselor. First, she should have come to me with her concerns and not posted it on the site when none of you can delete it in the first place. Second there is an unwritten rule that RDCs and such are not supposed to be on this site it is for Navy for Moms to have a place to vent and chat etc. Now you have all experienced why I talk about prying eyes and not being able to write whatever you want because sometimes we have snoopers. Third, I had heard she was making it her "job" to make this statement in other PIR groups today so I sent a note to Admin and the liaison for the Navy asking about this issue. If they tell me this is a new rule I will remove it. I have seen that same statement on facebook for months. It is not a new statement. So, I have suspended her from this site because we have enough stress as it is and please know that I will do the right thing, check into it and follow whatever guidelines I am given by admin. Just as she has her lines of authority she follows in the Navy....so do I here....! End of discussion!!

Comment by FN salior Ship Bataan lh 5 on October 28, 2010 at 5:05pm: Are we all ready a few more hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Comment by Lynne on October 28, 2010 at 4:20pm: If they are grad and go...and you follow them to airport you can pass it off to them there in a black backpack along with a lap top and stuff. If they transfer to their A-school I think they can take it back with them to A-school. For those who aren't going to A-school at Great Lakes until later there is a way to rent a locker near by and for those who don't leave for A-school in other cities until the following week you have to mail the stuff...lol...sorry! Dianne will correct me if I am wrong!!

Comment by B2bparts ship07DIV363Pir 11/05 on October 28, 2010 at 4:06pm: Praying for all the Sailors going to BS21 tonight.... Lighting my Blue Candle.... Let us know about the call you get.. We are all wanting to know....

Comment by B2bparts ship07DIV363Pir 11/05 on October 28, 2010 at 4:02pm: Question??? When us parents leave. Can they be our sailors have their cell phone to go to School With, or do I have to mail them to them when they get to school>>>??

Comment by Brooklyn on October 28, 2010 at 3:56pm: 5 more hours till the start of BS21....

Comment by Lynne on October 28, 2010 at 3:34pm: This will stay open and become an alumni site...the open chat is really for anyone and there is a lot of drama on there...so I tend to stay away from it...lol
