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 mae_gf on January 27, 2011 at 12:47am: hello moms where can i find the division and ship? the box has arrived!!!

Comment by cinder on January 27, 2011 at 12:28am: oh crap hope that doesn't happen to my son

Comment by diannep on January 27, 2011 at 12:27am: asmoed is when your sailor is "set back" for some reason....sick, injured, disciplinary, test failure, etc. They are separated from their division and will be put back with a new division when they can resume training.

Comment by cinder on January 27, 2011 at 12:24am: ok what is asmoed

Comment by diannep on January 27, 2011 at 12:19am: HannahsSailor. We tell people to check the recruiter's address with the form letter address. Sometimes the recruiter's is not totally accurate...but sometimes it is ok. It isn't that they move, unless they are asmoed, of course.

Comment by diannep on January 27, 2011 at 12:18am: cinder: You have to be "friends" with people to private message unless you click on the "Send Message to Group" prompt at the top which will send it to all members of this group.

Comment by diannep on January 27, 2011 at 12:17am: LovinMa: YES! They can use their phone card or they can have their cell then. Other than during school time, they can call and text (they usually have to be in their rooms by 10 pm, I believe, so if they don't get service in the room...it can be spotty on the bases....they will need to call from another place before 10). They can also have laptops then...so it is wonderful. You can even SKYPE.

Comment by LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on January 26, 2011 at 11:52pm: i also have a question....what will the communication be like after our SR graduate and go on to A School...will they be able to talk more (ex have cell phones, computers,be able to skype etc) and if they can how often will they be able to do it
