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 Megan- [ship 02, division 906] on December 13, 2010 at 10:11pm: I haven't received my confirmation email yet either. Should I be worried. I faxed, sent a hard copy, and emailed it multiple times lol.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on December 13, 2010 at 10:11pm: Yeah Sean's mom, just fill it in. That is what we had to do too. I think most people have to do it that way as well.

Comment by Megan- [ship 02, division 906] on December 13, 2010 at 10:09pm: Ash please do!

Comment by Sean'sMom (ship12 Div 029) on December 13, 2010 at 9:54pm: so we just fill in the info on the passes? It wouldn't let me type it in before i printed the pass

Comment by B's proud mom ship03 div027 on December 13, 2010 at 9:43pm: JessicaB- Yes, it's been about a week. Most of my questions have been answered by reading here. No, I have no idea when Battlestations is. She called home 3 times but I only got one of the calls and it was very short, right after we got on they were yelling that everyone had to get off, so all I got was I'm good, I love you, and that she could leave with us after graduation.

Comment by G'sproudmom on December 13, 2010 at 9:27pm: I just printed my passes!!!!!!! I can't wait, this time next week i'll be flying. I hope the weather will hold and there won't be any cancellation.

Comment by Sean'sMom (ship12 Div 029) on December 13, 2010 at 9:07pm: Mary - how's your Father-in-law doing?

Comment by B's proud mom ship03 div027 on December 13, 2010 at 8:57pm: I wish I had known about this site in the beginning! I haven't heard from my daughter by phone or letter in over a week and have been a bit uneasy about it. It sounds like they are very busy and a few aren't hearing from them, this makes me feel better, kinda. So, as I keep reading, no news is good news, right?

Comment by ctownnavymom_Groton_SECF on December 13, 2010 at 7:38pm: I just printed my pass! Wow Rose, what you said brought instant tears to my eyes! I can't believe that might be the next thing my son says to me! What is even more hard to believe is that one week from tonight we will be packing up the car and getting ready to head out! Praying to the good Lord above for travel mercies for all of us!

Was dated the 12/7, it took a while (I bet the weather have something to do with) he sounds positive, he said things are getting easy. RDC are getting nicer and funny. Just talk about how he sign for this and for that. It was very short, just a paragraph. One thing I notice...he's hand writing get better and better. Wao!!!
