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 My2kidz on November 19, 2014 at 2:05pm: NavyNukeGirlfriend - you should edit your post because you are giving way too much personal information. The OPSEC and PERSEC guidelines are very helpful. But to answer your question, as far as I have read, the answer to your question is no, you can't.

Comment by navygirlfriend11 on November 19, 2014 at 2:04pm: Hi everyone! I just got 3 letters in the mail from my boyfriend today. He said that the next time he'll be able to call is December 4th. Does that mean he won't get to call on Thanksgiving? I'm a little confused.

Comment by CatMom509 on November 19, 2014 at 4:14am: SoCalNukeMom,

Oh, I'm glad! That Challenge Coin will surely be special to him~~

Comment by SoCalNukeMom on November 18, 2014 at 8:04pm: Thanks CatMom! I bought a coin with a black box and it came really quickly! Its beautiful and I'm sure my son will love it!

Comment by CatMom509 on November 18, 2014 at 8:02pm: x808404,

If you fly back Saturday evening, that should work~~ Or if you want to celebrate your birthday some place different rather than traveling that day, stay until Sunday. Your SR can be flying out to his A school anytime throughout that day from 6:00 am on, but he won't know the exact flight time till after he completes Battlestations~~

Comment by CatMom509 on November 18, 2014 at 7:55pm: Greetings!

       the sacrifice of praise to God that is, the fruit

       of our lips giving thanks to His name."

Comment by diannep on November 18, 2014 at 4:04pm: You are welcome, Debbie D!

Comment by diannep on November 18, 2014 at 4:04pm: z808404: The Navy Lodge is very economical to stay in, close to the base, nice staff. Book in your SR's name if you do not have your own military ID. They fill up quickly so you may want to book now. If you try online and they say no vacancy, try calling them because they DO get cancellations!

OHare is closer to RTC than Midway....not sure if it makes a difference which one you fly into. People fly into both. Some also fly into Milwaukee...cheaper car rental, no traffic, takes about 45 mins to drive to GL. It is an hour+ drive to GL from Midway: about 35-40 from OHare, both Midway and OHare depending on Chicago traffic.

Comment by Debbie D [Tyler's Mom] on November 18, 2014 at 11:26am: Thank for the info. Nice to know 03/039 will be first in Battle Stations!

Comment by z808404 on November 18, 2014 at 10:44am: I just booked the first leg of my flight to Midway for my son's graduation. His A school is in SC and I'm not certain if I should fly back on Sat. The 13th(my birthday) from Ohare or midway. Money is tight and I'm also wondering if organizations that help with travel. The Coast Guard has a non profit that helps families. I'm a veteran myself. What is the best hotel to book for graduation the billeting hotel is only for active duty. Can't wait to see him.
