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 proudmom ship03 div028 on December 1, 2010 at 12:23pm: Did anyone have a problem with calling the scheduling office about itinerary? I called and was told it was not there department and asked if I should email instead, she told me no and it was my recruits responsibility to have that info. How can he have it if I am the one who made the reservations?

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 1, 2010 at 10:00am: But instead of a fish it was a frog.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on December 1, 2010 at 9:59am: LOL LYNNE... I was singing that song to my step-son before J left trying to get him to learn that and J looked over at me and said that song somehow gave him the creeps!

Comment by Terry_T_Tuckersmom on December 1, 2010 at 7:16am: proudmom-they do battlestations one week before PIR(15th)
Megan-some of us have to make arrangements but some of our SR's made theirs from BC.
YAY!!! us 21 days left!!!!

Comment by Lynne on December 1, 2010 at 3:52am: When you are writing to your recruits this week...here is something you can ask them about:

I had a little fishy, his name was Tiny Tim
I put him in the bathtub, to see if he could swim.
He drank up all the water, and ate up all the soap.
And when he was finished he went glope, glope, glope.

This is the fishy song...recruits sing this as a part of a "beating". They have to lay on the ground...lift their arms, legs and head. They sing the songs and move their legs and arms like scissors for a LONG, LONG, LONG, time....lol~~ Ask your recruits about it...they will be impressed you know the words!!

Comment by Megan- [ship 02, division 906] on November 30, 2010 at 11:05pm: Does anybody know when the sailors are supposed to make their arrangements for A School. Are we, their families, supposed to make the arrangements for them or are they supposed to do it while they are at boot camp? Someone please let me know?

Comment by Niña on November 30, 2010 at 10:51pm: omg!! is that right really? 3 more weeeeksss til PIR?? i seriously cant believe how the numbers were going down! im so excited!

Lynne- thats a very good idea! indeed fun and exciting! wish i already have kids to do that with. lol :)

Comment by Lynne on November 30, 2010 at 10:30pm: Proudmom....your recruit will be so excited if you take some pictures of your girls and then copy them on to paper and make him feel like he is part of the celebration...maybe you can even add a decoration each day to the tree as a countdown for both your girls and you...and click a pic to add to your letter....how fun that would be for your girls to see less balls in the box as the time grows closer...lol

Comment by Lynne on November 30, 2010 at 10:28pm: Walker..you can order the video the day of PIR so you can wait yet...lol

Comment by Lynne on November 30, 2010 at 10:27pm: The countdown clock is correct...it's because it counts hours...so it is 21 - 24 hour days...and so many odd number of hours....lol...kind of confusing...
