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 Laura (ship 2 div 909) on November 27, 2010 at 10:35pm: I RSVP'd too! has anyone had any luck finding out what the 909 does for their performance? rifles, flag? any ideas

Comment by DawnMomOfSR Ship 02-Div 909 on November 27, 2010 at 10:02pm: Oh duh! I had to check the "I will attend box"... LOL

Comment by DawnMomOfSR Ship 02-Div 909 on November 27, 2010 at 10:00pm: We are on a mountain top in PA so we are used to cold, wind an snow, but I would rather travel in 60 degree sunny days!

I tried to RSVP for the M&G on 20th/Ramada but the RSVP tab did not seem to work?

Comment by Laura (ship 2 div 909) on November 27, 2010 at 9:59pm: it was cold! its 27 now and feels warm! its crazy how you get use to it. my son left here in shorts during a blizzard! even the recruiter said what the heck, lol

Comment by DawnMomOfSR Ship 02-Div 909 on November 27, 2010 at 9:58pm: We will be coming with our 4 year old (special needs and a bit high strung) so I am dreading the 15 hour +/- car ride and hotel confinement. Visiting Chicago in good or bad weather does nothing for me... but seeing my son again means the world!!!

Comment by Laura (ship 2 div 909) on November 27, 2010 at 9:55pm: haha it was 20 below here last weekend!!! i am ready!! lol

Comment by Laura (ship 2 div 909) on November 27, 2010 at 9:51pm: lol i know it sounds funny huh? but coming from montana and snow it shouldnt be to much different!

Comment by Laura (ship 2 div 909) on November 27, 2010 at 9:49pm: my two boys coming with me have never been to chicago so it is going to be a great time and hopefully my navy boy will be joining us! either way it is going to be great to hug him and see him again!

Comment by Laura (ship 2 div 909) on November 27, 2010 at 9:36pm: My son's A school is in great lakes. he is a corpsman. I just planned to leave that following monday in hope he will get to spend the weekend with us.

Comment by DawnMomOfSR Ship 02-Div 909 on November 27, 2010 at 9:24pm: Wondering how long we should plan to stay in GL's after PIR? Cody will be going to Goose Creek for his A School (Nukes) but I have no idea if we will get any time to spend with him before he goes... or how many days would otherwise be typical.
