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 diannep on March 6, 2011 at 3:34pm: teresa: He most likely is "bussed out" at 2 a.m. with the others to wait for his flight...some flights start early in the morning--others later in the day, but hopefully he will have some "wait" time at the airport so that you can meet him there and share some time!

Comment by Knitting Grandma on March 6, 2011 at 2:09pm: Good luck grandson and to all those doing Battle Stations with him tonight...

Comment by LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on March 6, 2011 at 2:06pm: good luck to division 99 tonight! they will be doing battle stations tonight! im praying for them!

Comment by Hunters_Mom_12/092_MAA on March 6, 2011 at 2:01pm: Curious about Captains Cup as well... Maybe some of us will get calls today. One can hope :~)

Hope everyone gets the liberty they had hoped and planned on. Seems that plenty are GNG. I read on a post somewhere that one of the reasonings may be to make it "fair" to all people. I can only speak for myself and personally it does not bother me that some may get overnights as opposed to full days or Grad and Go.

Comment by dren (Ship 12 DIV 092) on March 6, 2011 at 12:21pm: 4 MORE DAYS!!!!!

Comment by nikosmom ( CVN 70, Seaman ) on March 6, 2011 at 11:35am: who won Captains Cup??????

Comment by Scott's mom (Ship 12 / Div 091) on March 6, 2011 at 7:28am: Our son is in 091 - he told us that they had to be back on base on later than 9pm. He leaves for A school a few hours after that.

Comment by mysteryfan(ship 12 div 102) on March 6, 2011 at 5:39am: I also got a call today. Kinda panicked when I saw the area code-I thought he might be calling to say he wouldn't be graduating on time, but it was just a "reward" call they all got to make. He said Div 102 came in third in the Captain's Cup and they would get to carry a flag at PIR for it. He's going straight to A school in GL, but didn't say specifically whether he expected overnight liberty or not. And sorry, he didn't say who won the Cup.

Comment by dren (Ship 12 DIV 092) on March 6, 2011 at 3:47am: my SR told me as well the other day he will have overnight liberty all weekend - told by the chief or RDC. I can't remember who he mentioned, but so frustrating not knowing. best to just plan as if we won't get overnights for now. ughhh
