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."

PLUS YOU BUDDY!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Proud Navy husband on November 2, 2010 at 11:37pm: Lynne, Diannep and Andy'smom
You ladies are somethin' else! I feel so blessed to know you women, even though i haven't even met you, i feel so blessed to know that i have people, who I DON'T EVEN KNOW, pray for me. I'm sure Ali's doing well and I would hope/pray that she's doing BS21 as we speak, if all is well. but from a realistic standpoint, i pray for the best and prepare for the worst. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Comment by Proud Navy husband on November 2, 2010 at 11:31pm: thank you, Aarons mom! I appreciate. I'll be praying for the divisions going through BS21. Also, for Ali so she can make her run. In fact, Aaronsmom, you're the second person to tell me that she'll make her run with 12 seconds to spare. lol I'm sure God's gonna push her to do those 12 seconds to spare

Comment by Andysmom on November 2, 2010 at 11:24pm: Jose....Everyone in 825 will be standing behind your wife 100%! They are going to encourage her and give her the pointers she needs. She WILL do it! Especially with such an awesome hubby behind her and ALL the prayers from everyone in this group!

Comment by navymom x 2 on November 2, 2010 at 10:58pm: Oh alice you are too funny!!! Have a safe trip and maybe take some earplugs! just sayin..LOL.

Comment by gkneemo-Alex'smom on November 2, 2010 at 10:57pm: Alice..Prayers for a safe and sane drive tomorrow and on Thurs. Hopefully the call will come early! I get on here and I get all teary eyed just thinking about my son and all the other SRs and then knowing mine will be one of the last groups doing BS. The wait is just awful. Keep the candles burning. Safe trips to everyone on their way to GL.
