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 Hisbelovedlinda on March 4, 2011 at 3:06pm: Congrats to my son ZAC, now officially a United States Navy SAILOR !!! Zac called his beloved Fiance`, they talked about 30mins. Says their Ship 12 Div 95 did great! We are all so proud of them! Praise The Lord for His Blessings! Zac said he had been up for 36hrs. he was very tired, pray that they will ALL get some really good rest now! Says they have a lot of packing up and cleaning to do!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 4, 2011 at 2:47pm: Congrats to all the new Sailors!! Bravo Zulu!!!!

Maybe instead of buying a scarf you buy a beach towel in the appropriate color and cut it down and make a scarf out of it lol. It could serve 2 purposes. ;-)

Comment by SailorMom on March 4, 2011 at 2:37pm: :) Just got my call from my sailor. He was sooooo tired, poor kid, lol. He was barely coherent. But he is a United States Sailor! Woot! Congratulations to all the other moms who must have gotten calls by now.

GO 095

Comment by kylesmom on March 4, 2011 at 2:24pm: Just got my call!!! He said he's exhausted, but BS21 was really fun. He said everyone in Div. 095 passed, so keep your phones close! Can't wait to meet you all next week. Our sailors are awesome!
