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 Marti Jacob's Mom on December 6, 2010 at 9:21pm: proudksmom I have not heard anything from my son either. I thought they would be able to call more. I still dont know when he will be leaving for SA Texas. He still did not know anything when we dropped him off yesterday. I saw the nex was open when we went by.
He hated the scarf too. There was always lint all over everything. We went some where that had a black light boy did he glow with white all over his shirt hair. That you could not see in the regular light. Good thing they dont inspect them with a black light.

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on December 6, 2010 at 8:38pm: i hope he'll really like it!!! i dont have anything to give him... i feel so guilty because he said he got me something what i meant about something... he got me a lot of stuff from the airport in Chicago and South carolina since i haven't been there... plus we will get married when he comes home this Christmas and all i can give is a homemade scarf!!! I cant wait to see him!!!

Comment by Dorine - Shana's MA Mom on December 6, 2010 at 8:21pm: Sailor'sGirl NukeWifeToBe - you're wonderful for knitting your Sailor a scarf and don't let anyone tell you different. I'll bet that will mean more to him than a store-bought one!
Just wanted to say I just heard from my daughter - she's coming home for Christmas! Hooyah! Happy Navy Mom right here!

Comment by Sailor'sGirl NukeWife on December 6, 2010 at 8:07pm: I did knit a scarf for my sailor good thing it was white... lol i dont have money to buy him expensive stuff and my friends were telling me im like a grandma for giving my sailor a homemade scarf... hope that scarf will workkkkkk

Comment by proudksmom on December 6, 2010 at 7:53pm: Has anyone from div. 17 recieved a call today? I thought maybe they could call since they have graduated and have some freedom. Does anyone know if the NEX was open on Sunday for my daughter to mail a package?

Comment by MEsailormom on December 6, 2010 at 5:05pm: Arrived home to Maine last night at midnight. 6 inches of snow when I woke up so I am glad I drove through. PIR was absolutely fantastic. We were fortunate to have the new Sailor for the whole weekend. He is quite a man now. The A school campus at GL is beautiful and I held my goodbye tears for the parking lot so as not to embarass him. That was a long pause. Thanks for being out there ladies. N4M was the miracle I needed. PS Who chose those shedding scarves anyway!

Comment by Lou2 on December 6, 2010 at 4:42pm: As we were sitting traffic to take Nate back, suddenly all these Sailors started jumping out of cars and walking "briskly" (not running) towards their ship. We did everything we could to get him back on time. At least everyone was not punished. But then a lot were G&G so what can they do?? My Nate told me that his room mate in Mississippi is from his division. Glad that he already knows someone. It was such a great time!!!

Comment by Dodie on December 6, 2010 at 4:23pm: 1 sailor in my son's division was 10 min late Friday night & had to stand watch Saturday 12p-4p

Comment by Lou2 on December 6, 2010 at 3:24pm: Nate hates them too. My sister and I are thinking nice white scarfs for Christmas. I don't think that they have to be Navy issued. I hope not anyway...
