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 Angie (Dan's Mom) on March 16, 2011 at 2:18pm: Diannep

My mom will be with us for graduation Are there wheelchairs available from the gate? She can walk a bit but a long walk would be very difficult Is it better for her to take the shuttle or should we drive over?

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on March 16, 2011 at 2:16pm: My call came yesterday at 2:53 pm We all were on facebook and I was the first to report a call That was EST...so if they keep to the same schedule calls should start rolling in shortly!!!! It will be helpful to all the other in those divisions if someone could ask on the call if the entire div passed and post it here Congratulations to all the new Sailors!!!

Comment by diannep on March 16, 2011 at 2:03pm: TxLadyJane posted some interesting PIR info on the posts in 3/11. Worth reading.

Comment by diannep on March 16, 2011 at 1:37pm: Navyfam: They can start at any time now...usually around 2 pm GL time, but sometimes they are earlier, sometimes later...so just have the phone handy, even in the bathroom or going to the mailbox....

Comment by oregonmom on March 16, 2011 at 12:49pm: Angie, your excitement is contagious!! I love the shirt. I love that your son can't wait to talk!! I'm hoping mine will talk, he sounded soooo tired yesterday.

Jessica, thanks for the heads up on the eating places. My SAILOR (boy that sounds good) said he wants to eat!! Funny thing is when he left he weighed 157 lbs. so you know eating hasn't been all that important lol.

Beth, How funny that your sailor didn't know you'd be all over Battlestations. I guess they'll never really know what's been going on here lol.

Blessings on you that are waiting for phone calls. Mine came in at 3pm PST. (106).

Safe travels
