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 diannep on November 11, 2010 at 9:39pm: Amy's Mom: A small percentage of the sailors do not pass BStations the first time, but most do. Those who don't pass can go again and will pass. Many families are already in GL or on their way when the I'm a Sailor calls come in for the last divisions.

Comment by diannep on November 11, 2010 at 9:34pm: tremontmom: Off to the airport for you on Sat...or is his flight at 4:30? If he is BUSSED to the airport at 4:30, he probably will be waiting for a while there and you all can get military famiy gate passes and wait with him. Extra time with your sailor on Sat.!

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 11, 2010 at 9:32pm: same here... happy for everyone i bet all of you are doing the happy dance!!! hope we get a call tomorrow even in the first thing in the morning i will wake up just to answer the phone... the last time my boyfriend called me... i was kind of stress and still in bed... and note it was 1:30pm i always sleep 4am exactly the time they woke up in GL... and then when he called me i have rainbows all over me lol :)

Comment by PAM (GM MOM) on November 11, 2010 at 9:20pm: I am so happy for all of you getting calls, I only wish I would get one.

Comment by Abbe'sMom(Ike CVN69) on November 11, 2010 at 9:15pm: Anyone have a recruit going to GL A school for Quartermaster?

Comment by tremontmom on November 11, 2010 at 8:01pm: Missed my call...was at work and didnt see it until too late...very very heavy hearted now. Also found out he will be leaving at 4:30 am the next morning....sigh...at least we will see him that day.
