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 January 26, 2011 at 1:34pm: oregonmom: Pants legs are rolled up because they get on a computer thing to measure for their shoes/boots...and most just forget to unroll them or don't have time before throwing them in the box! It causes much discussion among the N4M ladies until they hear the explanation for it! :-)

Comment by oregonmom on January 26, 2011 at 1:19pm: I finally got my box last night. The Fed Ex person delivered it to our neighbor up the road (country living). Hi pants legs were rolled up LOL. One more box I can check off. Now for the letter.

Blessings to all of you and to our SRs today as we go about our day. I'm so thankful that you're here. Go Navy!

Comment by LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on January 26, 2011 at 12:48pm: ok thx for the info...i didnt know if they where put in the push program by how well they knew their info or by the need of the job they where going into....my SR job will be a hospital corpsman

Comment by LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on January 26, 2011 at 12:45pm: Diannep thank you for the tip...i had to hurry up and change it i never thought about it geting him in trouble and i really dnt wanna do that...happy that i got that taken care of..tried calling the recruiter and he wasnt gonna be in the office for the rest of the day ughh so another day waiting hopefully i get something really soon...

Comment by diannep on January 26, 2011 at 12:41pm: LovinMa: From what I know about push divisions, it may depend on their rates (jobs) and how soon their school needs them. Not sure of the details...I looked up some info and saw where a mom posted who had a rescue swimmer (special operations) was in a push div and another push div had nukes and advanced electronics recruits. Beyond that, not sure what designates one!

Comment by diannep on January 26, 2011 at 12:38pm: You DID it! Good job, LovinMa!

Comment by diannep on January 26, 2011 at 12:35pm: LovinMa: I think you will have to wait until you can substitute another picture to take that one off. You have to have a profile pik on there of some sort so you may have to wait until you are on the other computer.

Comment by LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on January 26, 2011 at 12:20pm: for some reason my computer wnt let me take the pic off...does anyone know how to take the pic off my profile untill i can put another one up...im on my laptop not my home computer so i cnt replace it with any pics

Comment by LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on January 26, 2011 at 12:13pm: thanks for the advice i will do that now because i deff dnt wanna do anything thats gonna make his time there any harder then it already is...

Comment by diannep on January 26, 2011 at 12:08pm: DITTO what Angie said about posting first names of recruits on here. Pictures to. You can post piks of your recruit on your "page" and then make it "private" where the only ones who can see them are your "friends" if you want to. We don't want to connect posts on here with a specific recruit! Of course, last names are always prohibited on the site...Navy rules....so be careful.
