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 CC0727 on November 11, 2010 at 3:47pm: Has anyone heard if the MAs are Grad&Go for the 12/3 PIR?

Comment by Sherri_M on November 11, 2010 at 3:25pm: Brandensgirls..we are booking Thur, Fri and Sat....we aren't leaving till Sunday morning..we have a 9-10 hour trip. And you can go to airport with them....michael is still saying it maybe a long day at the airport...his counselor told him to tell the family they can be with him and to be prepared for a long day at the airport...that's why we are staying Sat night. It is confusing that we don't know and probably won't know for sure till PIR Day when the flights are. mine wrote me and told me to make sure I have his cell and IPOD since they can take it with them to A school...he's looking forward to that!

Comment by Sherri_M on November 11, 2010 at 3:16pm: Melh....I saw the number at the bottom of the blue form...been trying to call all day, but guessing even though they are at BC training facility, the PA office must be closed today and the answering machine has been full since like 5pm last night...I'll try first thing in the morning...I don't have a fax number, not one on the sheet so I'm guessing when I call they'll give that to me....

My recruit put me as host...I guess I can cross it out and put his g-parents, but don't want to do anything wrong..so will wait till I talk to someone...

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on November 11, 2010 at 3:15pm: thanks sheri for the info so i would just book a hotel for 2 nights he never answer my question even when he called me so now i am a lil bit confused what is going on...

Comment by Sherri_M on November 11, 2010 at 3:13pm: Brandens'girl...I do believe all nukes are Grad n Go..or at least all that I know are...I know my son Div 10 are, Div 9 as well, and I know some in Div 13 that are as well...so safe bet he is.

I'm sure my son is making some of your sons/duaghters laugh with his accent! we are from TN....the cold, he won't be as bad as some of the others that are further south...his grandparents are in Indy and he visited quite often. He never wore more than a sweatshirt here--even if it was like 20!
And...the SNOW...here in our county, they closed school at like 1pm because there was a CHANCE of snow with accumulation the next day...our county didn't get any...the kids loved it!!!

Comment by redchaos(SHIP 09 DIV 010) on November 11, 2010 at 2:46pm: I am wondering if 'Gary's' mom is on here? If so friend me, I'm hosting him for turkey day...

Comment by Lou2 on November 11, 2010 at 2:45pm: ooops, then there was the time that 1/2 in shut down the whole Triangle area. Some children wound up having to sleep at their schools. Everyone left work about the time schools were releasing early and turned the snow to ice on the roads. It took me about 2 hrs to get when it typically is 20 min. Some people had to sleep in their cars.

Comment by Lou2 on November 11, 2010 at 2:42pm: Ahhh yes, but there was the time we were snowed in for a week many years ago in Raleigh. Schools did not open for over 2 weeks. 22 inces of snow.

Comment by Melh1215(ship 09,div 016) on November 11, 2010 at 2:38pm: Marion - and how hard do yall laugh at us when - they announce we may get ice... wal-mart is sold out of flashlights, canned food, bottled water! We are very silly.
