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 5, 2011 at 12:20am: AnthonysMom: Your son, if in Div 96, did BattleStations last night.

Comment by Mommy Erin (Ship12 Div 095) on March 4, 2011 at 11:58pm: We just had the biggest thunder I have ever heard. I guess it blew up a transformer a few blocks away. Wow, I threw my laptop in the air. LOL I am awake!

Comment by TxLadyJane(ET Nuke Mom) on March 4, 2011 at 11:45pm: OMG that is totally funny

Comment by SailorMom on March 4, 2011 at 11:43pm: Hooray Erin!

Thanks Lala -- we were thinking that since the plane left on Friday we'd get no liberty whatsoever Friday and only have airport time later on in the middle of the night. But i guess they are regular grad and go and we should have some more time with them after PIR :)

Comment by Mommy Erin (Ship12 Div 095) on March 4, 2011 at 11:33pm: Yes Sailormom! Yeah!!!!

Comment by Donna (ship 12 div 101) on March 4, 2011 at 11:23pm: contragtulations to all the new US Sailors :) . Hopefully will receive my call Tuesday. I keep him and all his fellow recruits in my prayers every day.

Comment by YMM (Ship 12 Div 98) on March 4, 2011 at 11:10pm: Lala, I don't know. It's all more than a little confusing. I was on the TSC site looking for info and came across Cpt. Linter's post. I think he's the TSC Commander and actually answers questions on Facebook! Amazing!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 4, 2011 at 10:51pm: You should also be able to meet them at the airport. They leave the base at 2-3am but some of the flights aren't until much later in the morning and afternoon. They won't know for sure what time there flight is leaving until they have the actual ticket information.
