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 navyarmymom on November 1, 2010 at 12:54am: Lynne-I didn't see anything about Lock and Go. What is that? My son stays at Great Lakes, but I'm hoping he moves over right away. If he does, don't we get to spend some of the weekend with him? And if it is next week before he moves, what is Lock and Go?

Comment by Andysmom on November 1, 2010 at 12:45am: LOL..KT. I went to work for 10 hours Friday and came home to 156 emails. Glad to hear about all the 300 divisions going through Battlestations and rocking it and all the "I'm a sailor" calls. My heart goes out to all the moms that got the bad phone calls. It actually puts me into tears. I am a strong Psych nurse but knowing what these mom's are going through kills me. My daughter and I have been gandering the Facebook recruit center pictures of graduation for the past weeks and we were bawling like babies...lol. Happy tears though. I can teach people how to decrease anxiety levels and how to properly deal with strss, but sheesh. I'm putting my teaching to the peak with myself . Glad I have all of you here with me and in 4 years we will be laughing at what we were worried about. Can't wait to see you all on Friday!

Comment by Lynne on November 1, 2010 at 12:44am: Okay you guys I am hearing nightmare stories about people not showing up for the Meet and Greet...now you wouldn't do that to little old me would you...I have little favors for you, I am dying to meet each of you, I have special nametags for you (have I laid the guilt on thick enough yet???) The guy at Anastasias bet me there would be less than 60 there and someone in chat just said they had 120 RSVP and only 30 showed up...don't make me use all my kleenex...crying in the corner at the Meet and Greet...I am counting on you!!! Be there or be square!!!!

Comment by KT on November 1, 2010 at 12:35am: My goodness I left my compters for a few hours and had to read through like 6 pages of posts. All of you guys are so great! I got a call from my soon to be sailor today. They do have Battlestations Tuesday and he was complaining about it because he has watch from 0000-0200 so he'll be going on about 3 hours of sleep it, He was excited though and did mention how sick everyone was in the division. He said that made the gas chamber extra fun because everyone had extra stuff to cough up... Gross!! It was great to hear from him though and he said he wasn't too worried about BS21 because it stresses teamwork and when it comes down to it all the guys in his division work really well together and get it done. So kylesmom, I'll be saying extra prayers your son can fight off whatever he's got till they get in there because they'll get each other through it.

Comment by Lynne on October 31, 2010 at 11:56pm: Shiner...you HAVE to go to the NEX and order them that day or you are out of luck...

Comment by LinzA on October 31, 2010 at 11:15pm: Hello to all, my son is supposed to be headed to GP, mississippi. is anyone else's Sailor headed that way, and do you know when they are leaving? Best wishes to all BS21 this week, I'll be waiting for my call wednesday.... HOPEFULLY.. Is was such a long road to get to BC and this time has gone so fast.. I hope all is well, I guess I am hearing that "no news , is good news". Just hope he has the guest list right... see you all friday...

Comment by shinertxgal(ship 7 div 358) on October 31, 2010 at 11:14pm: Wow, I have been away for a few days and come back to so many posts to read through. My mom ended up in the hospital Wednesday night and got out Friday. It has been crazy. She had a reaction to a new medication. Then we went to her high school reunion (45 yrs). Her husband was supposed to go with her, but passed away very suddenly in July, so I became her date. It was a blast. Thanks for the information about the pictures. I had hoped to have pictures to bring home with us, but we will just have to wait. My son said it is going to be crazy trying to get them ordered that day. Does anyone know if we can call the photo lab and order them?

I can't believe it is almost here - we are so excited to see our son!!

Comment by Amy**QM MOM** on October 31, 2010 at 10:57pm: anyone know where we can purchase some sort of a navy flag to hang in car window or clings?
