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 stewfam on December 15, 2010 at 5:14pm: Got the I am a Sailor phone call !!! It seemed so surreal - - instant tears, that's all I can say!!! I am going to be a wreck at graduation!!! Congratulations to all of the other sailor moms yesterday and today!!! I am so proud of our children and of us - - it's been one heck of a journey!!! He did say that his division 024 did very good in BS - - they earned two flags and got something to hang in the mini "hall of fame" he called it - - something that all of the recruits will sign. He seemed trully happy and said he cannot wait for graduation. Neither can I. Safe travels to all of you - - will continue for good weather for all of us! Have my red shirt all picked out and even convinced my hubby to wear red :) Can't wait to see all of the red in the bleachers :)

Comment by jfarm ship02div904 on December 15, 2010 at 5:03pm: Congrats to divisions 023 & 024!!

Does this mean the 900 divisions are going to start tonight? That was the date I originally had, but it was listed on the schedule as happening last night.

900 moms, we may have another day of waiting for our calls. They are going to be exhausted @ PIR!
