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 maggie on October 17, 2010 at 10:39am: she34w5 http://www.bootcamp.navy.mil/grad_day.asp great website the gates open at 6:30 AM Wow she got married 2 weeks before bootcamp that is rough!! I was married to my husband 9 months before he left and that was hard!

Comment by she34w5 on October 17, 2010 at 10:33am: I can't wait to see my daughter again. She is in Ship 11 division 362 with a PIR date of 11/5/10. Since she just got married 2 wks before she left for boot camp, I have not received a call but many letters. Does anyone know what time is graduation?

Comment by maggie on October 17, 2010 at 9:53am: Hey everyone how is everyone doing? I can not wait for this to be over I miss my sailor so much its killing me but I would never let him know!!! So all my letters and phone calls are upbeat but I have so much to say that I hide! Trying to be strong. Its so hard!!!

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 8:06am: That sounds fine, missvixster. He probably will have to open it in front of the RDC's but that's ok. He won't be allowed to have them until PIR.

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 8:04am: Logan'sMom: When that big door starts to roll up...and they start to march in....wow. Just thinking of it now makes me tear up...it is such a moment! We were sitting in front of the big door, so we could see the slow reveal of them standing there as it continued to roll up....tears....I just watched those sailors walking in formation, knowing all of the different backgrounds and life issues that each of those sailors came in with...and yet here they are, marching as a unit, group....etc. It is quite amazing....bring lots of Kleenex and waterproof mascara is a suggestion! :-)

Comment by missvixster(S7/Div359/PIR11/5) on October 17, 2010 at 12:29am: Thanks Diannep - I figured it'd be alright but had to check. They are the disposables so if I just tape the packages to a piece of paper and send them in a bigger envelope?

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on October 17, 2010 at 12:14am: 18 days...this is getting to exciting.....cant wait to see my lil guy all in a uniform and welll a man....

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2010 at 11:45pm: Yes, missvixster: You can send the contacts for graduation.

Comment by IndianaMom on October 16, 2010 at 10:31pm: Marianne - I didnt even get to the closet yet...I cant remember the last time the room was this clean (sad to say!)
