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 marylou (ship09 div015) on October 17, 2010 at 3:04am: thanks again dianne

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2010 at 11:35pm: marylou: If he is GradNGo to GL, then he will move over there right after PIR...takes 3-5 hours....then he will call you (pay phone since he won't have his cell yet) to pick him up. He possibly will have overnight liberty with you then for the weekend. If he is not GradNGo and has to stay on RTC, then you should have him for the weekend, but he will return to RTC each night. He possibly could have a watch during that time too, but hopefully not.

Comment by Tabbi (ship 9 Div 10) on October 16, 2010 at 11:34pm: thanks guys...when he was young...but he grew out of it! He called his fiance and said he would be calling us too. He hasn't called yet.

Comment by Sherri_M on October 16, 2010 at 11:32pm: What??? Like sending him home for good???? NOOOO!! IS he ok?? I hope things are ok, please keep me informed!!!!

Comment by diannep on October 16, 2010 at 11:31pm: So sorry, Tabbi. I hope you get to talk to him tomorrow and find out how he is.

Comment by Tabbi (ship 9 Div 10) on October 16, 2010 at 11:22pm: well guys...i found out that my son had an asthma attack and they are sednign him home...I haven't talked to him so I'm not sure what is going on. Hopefully I will talk to him tomorrow.

Comment by marylou (ship09 div015) on October 16, 2010 at 10:02pm: Good to know. My son will be attending ASchool right there in GL. Hopefully he we'll be able to spend time all weekend. We are going to book a flight that leaves on Monday.

Comment by Ronnie619 Seabee Mom on October 16, 2010 at 9:50pm: Ship 09 Div 013 Our son is in his second week, got his package a few days ago and his form letter yesterday. Waiting for that first letter written by him about how he's doing. We are in Danville, Indiana west of Indy.

Comment by CJ's Mom on October 16, 2010 at 9:23pm: Marylou I read the liberty is all weekend depending on if your recruit is a grad and go or is waiting for his A school. They have to return to base every evening.
