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 diannep on December 19, 2010 at 7:38pm: Good luck to those going through BattleStations tonight! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on December 19, 2010 at 7:35pm: LIS: The sailors have wonderful heavy trenchcoats that they will arrive in for PIR. My son said they are so warm. So no need for a coat for your sailor...unless you want something warm and fuzzy for her to wear while in the room in her civilian clothes (must be in uniform at all times outside of hotel room).

Comment by Nancy on December 19, 2010 at 6:18pm: Penny, I don't have name tags, will see what we can whip together by Tuesday night. :-)

Comment by Nancy on December 19, 2010 at 6:17pm: I am in Waukegan now. Definitely a coat!!! Highs are in the 20s,

Comment by LOVE MY CORPSMAN on December 19, 2010 at 5:37pm: Hi everyone :)

Does anybody know whether or not I should bring my sailor a coat? I heard it's freezing down there and I figured I should bring a winter coat for her but just wanted to make sure :)

Comment by Terry_T_Tuckersmom on December 19, 2010 at 5:11pm: safe trvels to everyone!! I will be leaving tuesday morning

Comment by sweetgen91 on December 19, 2010 at 4:08pm: I hope everyone will have a safe trip traveling.

Comment by proudmom ship03 div028 on December 19, 2010 at 3:04pm: I was so pumped Friday when J called and said he was a sailor. He hardly had a voice he said he was yelling all night. I ran into his 1st grade teacher while he was on the phone and told her. He asked if I was going to tell everyone I knew, I said hell ya I am so proud of you. He just laughed.

I am so glad it is almost time for PIR, we leave for KC in 33 hours for our flight. I am praying for good weather. See you all there, cannot wait to meet you all.

Comment by maggie (ship03 Div.027) on December 19, 2010 at 2:34pm: Gaile - Will see you at the M & G. No pink scarf.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 19, 2010 at 2:12pm: Day after tomorrow we all will be traveling or already in Chicago! I wish everyone safe travels!
