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 twogirl91 on January 26, 2011 at 4:08pm: My little brother comes in today with a letter and says "This is for you!" And of course I jump up and about to rip it open when I realize it was the first letter I mailed I didn't have enough stamps on it. ='( Never again will I put 7 papers into it. I am now going to mail one letter everyday instead of waiting all week. Blah! I just really want a letter, it's been three weeks.

Comment by Valarie26 on January 26, 2011 at 3:44pm: Got 3 letters today!!!!!!! I was soooo great to hear from him!!!

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on January 26, 2011 at 3:02pm: YEP we sure do!!! I can't have my civilian cell phone on at work (I also have a government cell), but I can have it on silent, so I have it sitting up on my desk so that when I do have an incoming call I can see it GLOW, and answer it, LOL.

Comment by Carol(ship12 Div.091) on January 26, 2011 at 2:28pm: Hi all, we've all heard of fanny packs..well I have a fanny phone that goes to the John, in the shower, I just hope I don't have to go fishing for it! our SR arrived in BC 1/6 still waiting on call and letter! Like everyone else I nearly kill myself racing to the mailbox and chasing down the mail truck..and I am supposed to be an intelligent creature. So looks like we all belong to the same club!

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on January 26, 2011 at 1:40pm: How is everyone day going? Welcome to any new folks, I joined on Tuesday so I am pretty new too.

Comment by diannep on January 26, 2011 at 12:46pm: Ladies, just saw a post yesterday on another group where a mom had not had a phone call from her son since late Nov but had just gotten a call! Now...THAT was a long time to go with no phone call and I hadn't seen that happen before. I have a feeling that he had tried to call at times before then, and must not have been able to reach her. SO keep those cell phones handy at all times (don't worry, you can sleep at night as they won't be calling in the middle of the night~ :-) ).

Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on January 26, 2011 at 12:45pm: Hi Kelly, I live in WI so I am probably the closest out of everyone. So if not today, it will be coming soon. I'm sure. My son, also, left on January 6th. I know how hard it is on birthdays. Mine was on the 20th. I cried the whole day. His older sisters called and tried to make me laugh along with my husband. Hang in there my thoughts are with you.

Comment by diannep on January 26, 2011 at 12:43pm: amsred2: All divisions in this PIR group should graduate on 3/11. Just individuals coud be held back.
