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 SoCalNukeMom on December 10, 2014 at 11:09pm: Dianne do you know why I wouldn't get a call today from my son in 044? I am so worried.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on December 10, 2014 at 10:42pm: Michelle S - No worries...the maximum amount of divisions that can go through Battlestations at one time is four and 041-044 went through today.

That's me not actually posting a Battlestations date...

Comment by Michelle S on December 10, 2014 at 10:34pm: Has anyone received news from 045? All I can do at this time is pray for a call tomorrow.

Comment by amity109 on December 10, 2014 at 10:27pm: Eight weeks ago we kissed goodbye

And sent you on your way

Now the day has come we’ve waited for

It’s Graduation Day!

No more sitting, staring at the phone,

Just praying it would ring.

No more waiting on the mailman

And the letters he would bring.

Your days of standing watch have passed,

And thoughts of missing home.

You have grown to take your place at last

And stand up on your own.

You wondered if you’d make it through

To stand here on this day

For all the things you’ve learned to do

With pride you now can say…

“A Navy Sailor stands before you,

Here on graduation Day!

I have done what I set out to do,

In every single way.”
