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 Kate-Ship 12/Div 039 on November 20, 2010 at 6:32pm: Just got my second phone call fom my daughter just now. What a difference. She sounded much better unlike that first call which left me feeling so badly for her.

Comment by CJ's Mom on November 20, 2010 at 6:00pm: I am so excited!!!!! CJ called today and it was great talking with him. He called to tell me he would like to send me some money so he wanted my banking info. He had no clue how much this will help. I also had a couple friends who heard about my plight with the car and now my car repair is almost paid for. SO I am going to Chicago!!!! CJ was also doing well. You all are not going to believe this though. Div 022 flag is a Gas mask from WWI with bubbles around it. Guess why??? Lol Yep they are a stinky bunch of recruits. CJ said in the morning it is bad. everyone is tooting and letting it fly. He said you can hear it all over the ship. We laughed for a long time over that. I told him it was a good thing they weren't on a sub. He laughed some more and said it reminded him of the movie "Down Periscope" . Oh my gosh we laughed some more. It was awesome to talk with him today!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 20, 2010 at 5:49pm: MarylandMom, yes, it is a bit disappointing, isn't it? I actually finally had to do some work here today too. :( lol

Comment by MarylandMom on November 20, 2010 at 5:45pm: I guess I just thought this was something to count on. Darn it, now I have to get something done around here. I can't use the waiting for a phone call option anymore today !! Have a great one everybody !!

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 20, 2010 at 5:32pm: Oh, and Congratulations, sportsmom! It is quite an honor to be chosen.

Comment by MarylandMom on November 20, 2010 at 5:16pm: was hoping to get a phone call today :( The past 2 saturdays I received my call around 1pm.

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 20, 2010 at 4:34pm: Hope everyone is enjoying their Saturdays!

Comment by Lori_KingsBay_USSRI_Radio on November 20, 2010 at 10:29am: It might be useful to place the Ribbon information in a Discussion Group above; that way its easy to find and doesn't get lost in the Comment Wall. Just a thought.
