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 MEsailormom on January 14, 2011 at 6:40am: @Rena- Dylan is great and we all love the snow what ever state it falls in. I don't get many details of school. I miss all our comments here which helped me know what is going on. I will get that DVD to play!! :)

Comment by redchaos(SHIP 09 DIV 010) on January 13, 2011 at 8:48pm: Received my graduation dvd! Its great! Was so happy, coz didn't get as many pics as I was hoping for since he left so quickly!!! Good luck ladies!

Comment by Rena'(Dylan's mom) on January 13, 2011 at 8:39pm: MEsailormom how frustrating... Is it possible it's your player not the cd? It may be easier to get another dvd player than another PIR video...I wonder if anybody else has had any problems... I hope you get to see it soon. I know I am anxiously waiting it's arrival. How is your Dylan doing? Mine is loving a-school and doesn't even complain about the weather. lol

Comment by TammyCorpmanmom on January 13, 2011 at 8:37pm: I received our sons KEEL book today, It was nice.

Comment by MEsailormom on January 13, 2011 at 6:27pm: I received my PIR DVR via Fed Ex today. I am a bit frustrated that I cannot get it to play.

I really hope he gets the marriage certificate today so we can be together again... snow here today... sigh... I am getting use to South Carolina time now because my husband always wakes me up at 1am, 2am or 3am then I go to bed like 10pm... my husband is a nuke and he said the school is taking all his time... I really hope he'll be okay plus he only eats microwavable foods he doesnt like eating at the Galley... Never had a good food and enough sleep... that how busy nuke are and i hate and love it... lol

Comment by Aggie08Mom (ship 02,div. 903) on January 10, 2011 at 2:10pm: Annemarie, today is my sailor's birthday too. I think this might be the first birthday he hasn't been home. Even while he was away at college, he usually hadn't gone back by the 10th, so we could have his birthday before he left. It's been hard. I left him a birthday message on facebook, and also a voicemail one this morning, but it's not the same.

Comment by Dodie on January 10, 2011 at 10:36am: Annemarie, What rate is your nuke? My son is an EM & classes up today. I spoke with him on the phone Saturday. He loves it in Charleston & was very excited to start A School today. I know he's going to be very busy with class & mandatory study hours so I told him I will be home every Sunday. He said cell phone coverage is fair & the best way for me to send him a message was through Facebook.

Comment by annemarie on January 10, 2011 at 9:55am: Our NUKE son was home for 2 weeks during Christmas break. He flew back to Goose Creek on New Year's Day. He doesn't have a permanent address yet, his internet service is iffy at best and he only has cell phone reception outdoors. It's his birthday and we are missing him big time. What makes it worse -- he's bored and uncertain when he will class-up. I wish things would get going for him.

No DVD yet. I ordered one copy and my son ordered another.
