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 Brooklyn on September 24, 2010 at 5:33pm: BCG means birth control glasses -- had to wear them and they are hideous. Mine actually broke and they couldn't fix quick enough so I had to use a safety pin to hold my hinge together on one side

Comment by Proud Navy husband on September 24, 2010 at 5:29pm: well if by great weekend you mean PIR weekend, hell to the yea.

Comment by Laura (Ship 7 Div 355 PIR 11/5) on September 24, 2010 at 5:29pm: GMan, what are BCG's?

Comment by Brooklyn on September 24, 2010 at 5:27pm: Heidi, I remember getting that shot in AF basic and i had a knot for 3 days :) and it weird to walk around trying to be discreet, rubbing your butt cheek

Comment by Brooklyn on September 24, 2010 at 5:14pm: jerseyusnhusband-- no prob! going to be a great wknd!

Comment by Heidi (SHIP02,DIV951,PIR11/5) on September 24, 2010 at 5:09pm: My daughter also said the "peanut butter" shot sucked! She got the big glasses too! Her letters are quite comical... makes me laugh. She wrote "interesting fact-NAVY females do wear granny panties" lol... funny girl! Love her & miss her humor!

Comment by Proud Navy husband on September 24, 2010 at 5:07pm: blyn thanks for the head's up! i got mine today.

Comment by G Man Div 951 Ship 2 PIR 11/5 on September 24, 2010 at 5:00pm: Mail man was two hours late:( I was on a super long lunch>> But I got a letter :)

Comment by Mom(Div363-PIR11/5) on September 24, 2010 at 4:40pm: Hello, Heidi and Blyn, it seems every time I come on here there are more people signed up! My son is in division 363 and I'm still waiting for my first real letter (I got the 4 line letter at the bottom of the form letter and that was good, too).

Comment by Heidi (SHIP02,DIV951,PIR11/5) on September 24, 2010 at 4:24pm: Hello everyone... I'm Heidi and my daughter, Hannah left for bootcamp on 9/8. I did receive 2 letters so far. She is in division 951, the performance division. She will be playing her clarinet in the Band for the graduation. I miss her terribly but I think she is doing well. She sounded good in the letters but that was before physical training started... I know that scares her. I hope I am doing this all right. This is my first day on N4M.
