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 MarylandMom on December 14, 2010 at 7:01pm: Hi Everyone !!! I am also the proud Mom of a Sailor !! I received my call at 3:10 eastern time. I have been at work and wasn't able to post. We spopke for about 10 min. and yes I forgot to ask where he would be in the line ! :( Asked him about clothes to wear home, and he said he didnt need any. He has all he needs with him. Asked how BattleStations were, and he said both very intense and at times boring. That when there were the down times, they really knew how tired they were. Was hard to fight the sleep urge. Also said they had been up since 5am yesterday, was exhausted. They are now on what was called down time til Friday. Was glad they went 1st so they have days to chill !! Asked me to bring cellphone. Said that they are all going to exchange cell numbers so they can keep in touch !! Look out Ladies, you may want to make sure you have unlimited calls and long distance added to their cell plans !! Waiting to hear from everyone in all other divisions that you have received your call too !! Hang in there !! Praying for all our Gals & Guys to make it !! ~Donna~

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 14, 2010 at 6:39pm: Btw, when my son called, he said that when he gets home he really wants to hear Christmas music. They were playing it and he said he then realized how much he misses me playing my Christmas music. *tear

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 14, 2010 at 6:37pm: Jessica, if my son is 020, where would be the best place for us to see him? He would be the 2nd division to march in.

Comment by Cindy in Snowy MN on December 14, 2010 at 6:14pm: CONGRATULATIONS to all of you! My SR already told me that their division was marching in last for PIR...Div 024 Ship 03 (hope that helps, and hope it hasn't changed) But, I will try to remember to ask!!!

Thanks Betsy for the email address, it was weird as I hit the send button to ask a email came in from the Scheduling office...They got all info and he is good to go!" :)

Comment by CJ's Mom on December 14, 2010 at 5:52pm: Okay has any one from DIv 21 or 22 heard anything? DId they even do BS last night? I wonder.... No call here and it is 4pm

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on December 14, 2010 at 5:31pm: Tracy, We were going to go into Chicago, but A told me today, he just wants to chill with us. :) The Shedd Aquarium there is awesome, though. I went there years ago.

Comment by Tracy_ship04_div019 on December 14, 2010 at 5:29pm: Betsy, are you planning on sightseeing? We are unsure of what places to go especially since it will be cold and my 16mth old grandson will be with us.
