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 10, 2010 at 10:48pm: monica: I went to GL from Miami FL.....you can do it! HA! I assume you are flying? It was a nice trip....we enjoyed it....snow and all (went in Feb).

Comment by MyHrtBlongs2ASubmariner on October 10, 2010 at 10:01pm: Monica I am coming from south MS so I know how you feel!!

Comment by diannep on October 10, 2010 at 6:32pm: Oooops! Jessica, you may be right! I have heard so many conflicting things about sending "things" that were not letters. One mom said that her son had to do IT to get something she sent....but sometimes that's worth it to the recruit! Pens sound pretty innocent....I guess I just err on the side of caution! :-)

Comment by diannep on October 10, 2010 at 6:30pm: Tracy: He would have to get that cleared with his RDC's---sending the pens. He may be allowed to have them, but I would not send them without him getting the ok.

Comment by Tracy-Joe & Nick's mom on October 10, 2010 at 6:21pm: Got a call today. Boy, it sure was nice to hear his voice again! He said it is easy, as long as you do as you're told. No problems yet, and he has so far passed all tests. This week they will be shooting, and I think he's looking forward to that. His call was short, because his group had to wait for phones to be freed up. :( But, I got to talk to him, and that's all that matters. I asked if there was anything he wanted me to send - pics, stamps, phone cards, etc... he said he needed pens. Can I send those to him? I was thinking it had to fit in a standard envelope, which technically pens would, but I wouldn't think it would be allowed in because of the bulkiness. Any one know if I can do this? Thanks!

Comment by Lynne on October 10, 2010 at 6:03pm: Alrighty Division 362 we know you got calls...so muster in and let us know how things are going and what is happening!! We want to live vicariously through you!

Comment by Lynne on October 10, 2010 at 4:56pm: My understanding is the number definitely shows up...so if the number didn't show up...you are most likely safe...lol!!! congrats to all who are getting calls today...I am so very happy for you!!

Comment by IndianaMom on October 10, 2010 at 4:39pm: AVNAVY - when my son called me with a calling card, it showed up as "pay-phone" with the 847 area code
