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 diannep on October 18, 2010 at 11:04pm: firemansmom: I wondered the same thing about Lynne today. I think I will message her and see if she is ok. Maybe she went out of town for a couple of days.

Comment by Tracy-Joe & Nick's mom on October 18, 2010 at 9:44pm: Lol! firemansmom, I do the same thing! I have my headphones on when I'm cleaning or surfing the web, so I put my phone on vibrate, and stick it in my bra. Might sound funny, but, yes! it works!!! lol!

Comment by firemansmom(S7/DIV357) on October 18, 2010 at 9:02pm: O man! Im sorry for you that missed calls! I agree...phone in bra!!! Lol! My friends and fam think I'm crazy but it works!
Anyone hear from Lynne??? Haven't seen her post in awhile...hope all is well :)

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 18, 2010 at 8:34pm: Yes, I'll change it to ring and vibrate. Chores will be done at midnight to 5am, lol

Comment by diannep on October 18, 2010 at 8:14pm: Ok, Laura....don't beat yourself up! Hopefully he'll call again...and at least your driveway is clean now! Can you put the phone on ring AND vibrate???? So that you feel it if you don't hear it?

Comment by diannep on October 18, 2010 at 8:12pm: sandi: They have wheelchairs there if needed, and a sailor will wheel the person into the PIR Hall. What "Ilovecountry" said is right...let the first person in uniform that you see know you need assistance. They are very accommodating.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 18, 2010 at 8:12pm: I had it in the pocket, but was blowing the dang acorns out of the driveway. No more loud chores for me.

Comment by diannep on October 18, 2010 at 8:10pm: Ladies who missed calls: Phone in the bra, remember??? Ok, I know that it makes for a strange "shape"...but who cares? You won't miss the call! If not in the bra, then in your pocket, somewhere touching your body so you can feel the vibration and also hear it. So sorry you missed the calls...I hope the next one comes soon!

Comment by IndianaMom on October 18, 2010 at 8:10pm: Laura - he didnt say anything about getting more shots, but he did mention they "were about done" and that they had fire training this week too.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on October 18, 2010 at 7:42pm: Indianamom, what did he say? The message he left us said he got three more shots today and fire training is tomorrow.
