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 trishfit on January 9, 2011 at 9:47pm: Congrats shetaz5360. Your sons call sounded great. So glad you got to speak to him for so long. It's good to hear that some of you are receiving calls. Makes me feel hopeful we will get one soon. Thanks for sharing!

Comment by Arwen on January 9, 2011 at 9:35pm: txnavymom, usually the streets are clear and dry. The snow and ice is piled on the sides of the road, or even gone (it often melts away between storms). You will only have to worry about snowy, icy roads if there is an active snowstorm going on.

Comment by diannep on January 9, 2011 at 9:02pm: Congrats shetaz! What a great phone call!

Comment by shetaz5360 (ship09 div078) on January 9, 2011 at 8:59pm: We got a phone call tonight from our son Brian. Hubby and I both talked to him 40 minutes. He told us that it was a reward call for his division doing so well. He told me that he is not yet passed his swim test... had a hard time with the back stroke... and is having trouble with the push ups but he has a battle buddy... no name given. He assured me he has enough stamps and paper... and that when he got our first letter he was on night watch and he stripped that letter open so fast and just kept re-reading it. He was happy with the pictures of his cat and the dogs. He sounded tired but told me he is working hard and doing his homework. He does not have a specific job but is helping out everyone and his petty officer is proud of him.

He asked about his truck.... hahahahaha he worked the previous summer and saved us his money and bought a jeep.... so it is his baby. Told him that we took it to the store last night to keep the fluids running. He told me that he can't wait for graduation cause is he is going to get his family all together and take them out to dinner..... and told me he wanted to take a nice hot bath.

He told me the shot in the butt made his but sore and his leg went dead and when he had to jump out of his rack he was sure he was going to face plant. He hates night watch... says when he gets picked it is from 2200-2400 and he has to stand at attention in case a petty officer comes by but he reads letters when he can. Told me about having to strip his bed and fold everything in a smiley face and that nothing can touch... or you get in big trouble. Also told us about demerits.... guess if the division does bad they get demerits but if they do good then they take them away and his division does not have any demerits. WOO HOO... go divison 078.

I was so excited to get the call I almost did not know how to answer my phone. sorry for the length but want to share with everyone. :-)
