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 Lisa (MMNuke Mom) on November 10, 2010 at 10:04pm: Jen0338, I saw at least 2 bakeries on Green Bay. It's just a few miles from the Lodge (or at least Anastasia's), in Waukegan.

Comment by Josie(PIR11-5)ET_A_SCHOOL_1107 on November 10, 2010 at 9:55pm: Hello!

My Nuke called yesterday before his flight.

He called today, but missed his call, was at lunch.

I know he will be calling soon for his cell phone, etc.

My son's division - 360 - had 5 nukes total and they all flew together.

I would imagine they have enough students to fill an A school class.

Later ..... Josie

Comment by Kat (MM Nuke) on November 10, 2010 at 9:48pm: That is great that some of your Sailors have called in already and are at their A-schools. Sounds like all is going well so far. We haven't heard from the Nukes in South Carolina yet. They've probably been very busy. i think there were 14 from Division 363 going there. Hopefully tomorrow we'll hear from them. Know they want those cell phones and laptops sent.

Comment by Kathy on November 10, 2010 at 8:58pm: My Sailor called, He is at Groton, Already has found his friend from home that arrived there about 3 weeks ago. Said he is meeting people and just hanging out with his friends.

Comment by KarlaB4 on November 10, 2010 at 8:45pm: We're still waiting for our son, ship 04 Div 825 to call from Pensacola. Anyone else with a sailor in that Div? Have you heard anything yet? Thanks much!

Comment by rockwido(S07Div359) on November 10, 2010 at 7:51pm: My son just called and he said they had liberty today because of the holiday tomorrow...he got to go to the lock and go and get his laptop and phone, he sounded wonderful. He said he was on hold for corpsman school for a couple weeks but said they gave them jobs and it was better than bc....(he was in the lounge) This makes me feel better than I did when I left him Sunday night and my heart broke
