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."

I am talking to a 3/4 mom on facebook right now and she has her son for the whole weekend, nights too. But they could still be the last group that is allowed that for Grad & Go to great Lakes.

Congratulations Division 093, 094, 095, & 096  on your new SAILORS and prayers for all who are awaiting the upcoming Battlestations!  Can't wait to see everyone next weekend.

Speaking of next Friday, does anybody have any idea what time period we're talking about being able to be with them?  What time do they have to be back at the base?

Dren, my son is in 92 he said they will have time to call again by the weekend. So I would keep your phone with you.
Comment by navy nana on March 4, 2011 at 6:48pm
It is disappointing not to have at least 2 days with our boys, but....that is the Military!!!  We have to be thankful that at least for almost all of Friday we will be together.  Some recruit's parents came all the way from Hawaii and got only Friday with their son...I prayed for all the recruits that went to Battle Stations this week, and now on to next week, and more prayers for the different div.
