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 8, 2010 at 7:22pm: Lynne: Well said on the "venting" of the recruits to moms!

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2010 at 7:19pm: For you GradNGo moms: Remember, you hopefully will get time at the airport with them on Sat. They are bussed in the early a.m. but many wait a long time for flights. Just make sure you have ID and you should be able to go to the gate and wait with them. I didn't know this with mine.....and his flight ended up being delayed....by the time he called to tell us, we were in Wisconsin sightseeing and he was to be gone in an hour. So....hopefully you all can have time on Sat (and at that time, you can give them cells and laptops in a black backpack....at the airport). I have heard that is it quite a sight to see how well the sailors are treated at Ohare. I believe it was Sobe who said that when they announced that military could board the plane, people in several gate areas around there applauded for the sailors!

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2010 at 7:14pm: Lynne: My son was GradNGo too....so was JessicaBSailor's son. We just made the most of the time we had with them (about 9 hours). You may get a bit chilly in KY this winter and want to head on down to Pensacola to visit him! Well, it may be a little chilly there too, but probably warmer than KY!

Comment by diannep on October 8, 2010 at 7:12pm: granddoggy: There is a discussion group for 824 at the top of this page. You should find other 824 ladies on there!

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on October 8, 2010 at 6:55pm: Lynne, I am sorry, I can feel your heart just break when he said he was grad and go..I know all of us want our kids to be not be..But deep down we know some have to be...I know you will make the most of what you do get, and just because your the "leader of the pack" for a better term LOL..Doesn't mean you cant vent, cry, or fuss to us to...Lord knows you get your fill of it from us...Bless you and I am thinking of you
