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 7, 2010 at 2:47pm: Mary- I'm sorry I didn't say it before, but I'm glad your father in law is doing okay. I'm sorry you had to go through that with everything that is going on. My prayers and heart goes out to you.
Everyone- I found out some information today. As I was freaking out, worried that H's Itinerary wouldn't get there in time, I called the public affairs office and spoke with a lady who told me that she thought the deadline is today. She also said that there is a lot of mail backed up that they are looking through right now. So don't worry ladies, as long as you faxed, mailed, or emailed to the right address before today, even if they don't get it until later because of all the mail they have to sort through, you should be good. Only 15 more days until we get to see our men graduate! Time has really flown by. I'm so thankful for that. Thank you girls for all of your help and support. I couldn't have made it through without you. Have a great week! = )

Comment by Megan- [ship 02, division 906] on December 7, 2010 at 10:35am: I didn't get a confirmation for my fax. I really hope they got my stuff. Does anyone know what the deadline is for ship #02, division 906?

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 7, 2010 at 1:16am: My father-in-law is doing better. Might have to undergo another surgery for the 2 compressed disc's.. but the Dr. wants to wait. His breathing from his collapsed lungs has gotten better and hopefully the tube will come out tomorrow. There is no talk of him being released anytime soon... he will have to be in rehab for months afterwards. But he is getting better and his spirits are rising and that's good to see. I know that he is heart broken not to be able to go to his son's graduation, but you could tell him his eyes he is glad that I am going. Taking the cam recorder and going to record everything for his father and get my husband on it making a special message to him.. I know that he will like that!
