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 Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 23, 2010 at 5:15pm: I don't know what your group's deadline is for that, but yes there is a definite deadline. Someone on your group should know your deadline.

If not, you can call the Navy Public Affairs Office at 847-688-2405 and they will be able to tell you.

Comment by sweetgen91 on November 23, 2010 at 4:44pm: This might be a silly question but is there a deadline to fax them the travel information?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on November 23, 2010 at 1:38pm: LIS, the email is

Scheduling.office@navy.mil

Comment by LOVE MY CORPSMAN on November 23, 2010 at 1:36pm: i need to send my daugter's travel information bt Dec 3 for she can come home with me after graduation.......do anybody have a fax number or an e-mail address for me to send this? or my only option is to mail it....

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 23, 2010 at 12:49pm: We are up to 14453.0618 miles. This it the added miles of everyone who has replyed to the group: How many miles are we from GreatLakes. If you have not entered your milage yet, please stop by the group and do so. Trying to see how many miles we all have to travel as a group.. maybe we might have enought miles to say that as a group we traveled enought to go around the world. Thats 24,859.82 miles. So please add to our discussion, I am really wondering if we can make this number.

Comment by Sparkle_Mary on November 23, 2010 at 12:30pm: Oh well then I don't know anything about that. Sorry I can be of no help to you.

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on November 23, 2010 at 3:31am: Lynne - thanks for the info.
Ash - I'll definitely try calling again.

Comment by Lynne on November 23, 2010 at 3:15am: It may be that they were testing the route priscilla because the first deposit made into my son's account was for 0.00 prior to his first paycheck...so check with your bank they should be able to tell you who accessed your account.

I am going to encourage each of you to write to your recruits and insure that you and they understand about stand down after Chrstmas. They will have only accumulated 5 days of leave. I called my son's recruiter earlier today and asked him if it was possible that some contracts could have been written that some people would have been given additional days off at the holidays...he said he had never heard of that...so be sure to check with your recruit...they may have UP TO a certain date to report...but you all need think about the consequences of that decision. Just want to give you a heads up so one day you don't say...how come none of you ever told me...lol

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on November 23, 2010 at 3:08am: Oops. And instead of "accredited", I mean account. Lol. My phone won't let me edit posts.

Comment by priscilla; FC wife on November 23, 2010 at 3:07am: Ya, I understand and I did read your post, but S used our current bank (Wells Fargo) - brought accredited/routing number with him. So, we already have everything established. However, as in my original post, I'm just curious if anyone with an existing joint bank account got info on their direct deposit since I received a deposit notification from my bank.
