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 ElizabethC on December 18, 2010 at 6:26pm: For those that have SRs going thru battlestations Monday we may get calls on Tuesday morning? Just wondering.

Comment by Rose7..Norfolk on December 18, 2010 at 4:37pm: Mary....your not the only one. We also are getting junk mail especially credit cards. I think because they are in pay roll.....just trying to find a explanation.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 18, 2010 at 3:53pm: So who is giving out J's info to... cause I am getting all kinds of credit card " approvals" for him. I'm getting "Caribbean Cruise Line" scam.. saying its in celebration of the introduction to our flagship. I'm getting all this junk mail now that I didn't use to get...

Comment by diannep on December 18, 2010 at 9:29am: And, ladies, they do not do BattleStations on Fri or Sat nights because of Captains Cup on Saturdays.

Comment by diannep on December 18, 2010 at 9:27am: From info I got on here from you all, looks like 29-32 will go through BattleStations tomorrow (Sunday) night. Calls on Monday afternoon. The 800 and 900 divisions look like they are going on Monday night. Calls may come as you are traveling Tuesday, so be sure to change your cell voicemail to greet your new sailor and ask that he/she leave many messages for you to listen to when you land. Calls the day before PIR can come at anytime (not just afternoon) so be ready!

Comment by diannep on December 18, 2010 at 9:23am: cricket: Not to worry...I feel sure you will get in. Just have your ID...you possibly may have to wait before going in, but most likely, you won't have to. Enjoy!

Comment by diannep on December 18, 2010 at 9:21am: Captains Cup today ! Fun competition for your recruits! A nice break...hooyah!

Comment by cricket on December 18, 2010 at 8:53am: I am so excited were leaving on Tuesday for my son's PR on Wednesday, I pray the weather allows everyone to get their safely. Still don't know if I can get in to the graduation, because my daughter in law didn't pick me, but I am praying their is extra room so that I can squeeze in. Don't want to miss this important moment. For those of you attending the 12/22 PR we need to start a group for just pictures, so that everyone can share the pictures. For those of you attending, was it so packed that noone else would fit, do they check your name of at the door, etc. How does that all work? Thanks, Cricket Prayers and Congratulations to all the mom and dads for the new Sailors, I hope my daughter in law at least calls someone and tells us the news. Pray, Pray, Pray, I can get in.

Comment by Donna_ship12_div029 on December 18, 2010 at 8:49am: I know what you mean I was hoping they went early also yesterday, until I got the letter lol.
