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 Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on October 17, 2010 at 10:05pm: Do it Sunny! Clayton would love to see his dog but noways am I bringing him. Glad it was nothing major with your daughter! Thanks for letting me know that diannep! Huge relief here!

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 9:26pm: Hey! It's only 11 hrs from you to GL! I say....DRIVE! It takes me about 7 hours just to get out of the state of FL....so what's 11 hrs? I say....drive with Gus and surprise your daughter???? Bring a dogsitter with you to stay in the room with Gus for PIR so he doesn't get lonely... :-)

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 9:22pm: Ok, Sunny. Stay at Residence Inn...pet friendly! There was a Golden Retriever there when we were. Tell your husband that you want to take that whole week off and DRIVE with Gus rather than fly....make a vacation of it! Hooyah!

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 17, 2010 at 9:19pm: Thanks for the clarification dianne! My husband thinks I'm crazy, but I want to bring GUS to PIR with us. He thinks it's cruel to make him ride in the belly of a plane in a cage all by himself for 2 hours. I told my husband he was free to ride in the belly of the plane with him lol!! Honestly I haven't checked out the cost of flying an animal yet, but my recruit would just absolutely love it!!

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 9:09pm: Sunny: Ship 6 is for the injured and sick, Ship 5 is the "separation" ship.
I want to take GUS home with me please..... :-)

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 17, 2010 at 9:04pm: The picture of the dog - his name is GUS, we call him our PuppyPie even though he's 4 and no longer a puppy. He's half husky and half st. bernard, and we all laugh every time he goes to the vet when the vet says "I can tell you keep him on a strict diet because his weight excellent"......hahahaha......the dog gets more table food than any single one of eats. He's a people lover, and I'm sure Meaghan misses him as much as she misses any human at home so thanks Lala for the letter suggestion - we had a great time getting making his sign and getting him to pose for the picture and I had a great time writing tonights letter from the dog LOL!!

Comment by Sunny-Meg's Mom- Ship 09 Div 013 on October 17, 2010 at 8:59pm: NukeMom - Not sure she ever really went to ship 6, or ship 5. I thought ship 5 was the medical ship. She's fine, just got a bloody nose that wouldn't stop so they took her to the ER across the street. When I got the phone call she was just waiting for them to take her back to her division and that was Tuesday last week - assuming no news is good news then all is well. She used to get bloody noses when she was little, like age 4-6 but grew out of it and I can't remember the last one she had except when she was little little.

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 8:53pm: NukeMom: If he went to Ship 6, you should have gotten a phone call. Anytime they are setback, they call with a scripted call in front of Navy personnel. So hold out that no news is good news right now!

Comment by Stacy (ship 09 div 10) on October 17, 2010 at 8:49pm: Sunny I hope your daughter is ok! Did she get to go back to her division? My fear right now is that my son had to go to ship 6 instead of his division delaying PIR.

Comment by diannep on October 17, 2010 at 8:47pm: Tabbi: Just seems strange that he is easy going but had what they called a panic attack? I know you are anxious for details....I'm so so sorry. I hope they provide a chance for him of re-enlisting eventually if this is something that can be worked out...
