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."

Hi all!  I thought this might be a good way for us to connect!  So took the advice of some other moms.  Hopefully we can get information on when we start receiving calls and letters and other info!

Good Evening Ladies, rcv'd my call at 303 this afternoon, SR is in DIV 102.  Of course I was driving when it came, when that phone went off I nearly got in a wreck.  He sounded exhausted, but great non the less.  We only talk for about 10 mins as he wanted to call his fiance as well.  Now I can breath!  Good Luck and best wishes to all that are driving to GL'S.  I look forward to meeting many of you!

Out of curiosity, if they don't pass BattleStations, do they get to call and tell you? How does that work?
Comment by Jean H (ship 12 Div 091) on March 8, 2011 at 5:51pm
I just received my sailor's grad pictures.  In the div picture, there are different flags.  I believe they are recognition flags.  I don't know what each flag means. Is there a place where they list them.
Comment by YMM (Ship 12 Div 98) on March 8, 2011 at 5:49pm

TxLadyJane, Is this the comment you were referring to? It doesn't name N4M specifically and seems like it's actually a good policy.

GBsMom:  I had a feeling that was the reason.  Glad you got the call!
Comment by glassdog on March 8, 2011 at 5:26pm
Talked to my sailor!  However he is sick and said a large number of the division was sick.  Bravo Zulu to our new sailors in all divisions!
