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 Honeybrown on October 19, 2010 at 5:47pm: JessicaB thanks so much i appreciate it.

Comment by Linda (navynucmom) on October 19, 2010 at 5:38pm: OK, so I changed my profile info to private...thanks for the advice! And I remembered I had posted my sons last name on one of my friends sites, so I deleted that! Gosh, I must be more careful!!!!

Comment by Honeybrown on October 19, 2010 at 5:13pm: Hey, how is everyone. im getting a little worried ! My son PIR date is 12-3-2010 he is Ship 09 Div 10 and i havent heard anything besides the formal letter they sent out ''/

Comment by Sherri_M on October 19, 2010 at 4:40pm: Hey all, I never dreamed that they (RCD's) would look at this site...it seems like it'd be so busy up there that there would be no time left.....I'd never dream of bashing anyone up there...rcts or teachers etc....I couldn't do what those guys and girls up there are doing and I respect them greatly....each and everyone of them!! They are the ones (along with the other military branches) that keep America safe...our kids are in good hands up there I'm sure....I'm glad some of the comments are here though, I'm going to check my page and make sure it is private, etc....as was said by Jessica B, you never know who may look...God love the sailors and God love the families of the sailors!

Comment by diannep on October 19, 2010 at 12:58pm: labmom: You may want to make your page "private" so that people have to be your friends to see the photos. That keeps your page from being viewed by the public too. I have my page private for that reason.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 19, 2010 at 11:03am: I don't think it is a problem. My daughter was in the performing div as well and they didn't give her a hard time. I don't think it will hurt anything, just don't be talking trash about the RDC's lol.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on October 19, 2010 at 9:48am: When my daughter was in BC her RDC said "I like your red jeep and pink sun glasses." She couldn't figure out what on earth he was talking about but as soon as I heard what he had said I knew he had found me on N4M's because I had a pic of her in her brothers red jeep and another pic of her wearing pink sunglasses. She didn't get in trouble or aggravated about it. He just had her wondering. Glad I wasn't posting anything bad :-)
