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 Mikki Ship 09 Div 069 on December 24, 2010 at 1:21am: Angies - I hope she's right. And hopefully, he will forget any and all addresses and names and will have to call for all background checks. bad mom, I know. but I so want to hear from him. Any letter yet from C?

Comment by angies on December 24, 2010 at 1:19am: Mikki- YAY! That's very cool.

Comment by himmiemom on December 24, 2010 at 1:18am: Good Night Blue Moon!!!!

Hope tomorrow is a better day for some of you. Sweet dreams of letters and phone calls from our recruits and seeing them on 2/11.

Comment by Mikki Ship 09 Div 069 on December 24, 2010 at 1:17am: I was at a funeral this week and the Navy Honor Guard was there (he had been in the navy in the '70's). I talked with the HG for a while before the funeral and told them my son was at BC. One of them asked if I knew what his rate was going to be and told her what it was. She was so excited because she is trained for the very same job! She said I should hear from my son more often because he will have to call for info for his specific paperwork. yippee! that was good news.

Comment by BBWinthemoon on December 24, 2010 at 12:38am: Battlebuddy- that made me cry! My grandfathers we my hero's they have been gone a while, oh... How I miss them! My SR has them watching over him and protecting, and so does yours!
We have already celebrated hannukah (at least it was early this year) so I wish all of you to get a call or a letter for your special holiday!
