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 cinder on February 3, 2011 at 10:46pm: Thanks Craig

Comment by SarahA (SeaBee wife) on February 3, 2011 at 10:38pm: Cool video!! JessicaB thanks everyone who posts videos and links of boot camp. It helps to see what they are going through.

Comment by Craig on February 3, 2011 at 10:25pm: If you want a true division t-shirt, the same as your sailors will have for graduation, the company that makes them is Poseidon Sportswear. You can call Caryle at at 972-347-6655. If they don't answer, they're probably in the back of the warehouse packing orders for the next graduating group, or you can leave a message. Or, you can email them at navytees@gmail.com.

Comment by cinder on February 3, 2011 at 10:01pm: found website to order t-shirts with div logo or you can buy them at the PIR you can go to mwrgl.com

Comment by oregonmom on February 3, 2011 at 8:38pm: My son is in Ship 07, Div 106. I got a letter today. Basically he says things are going "ok, I guess" he really wants to come home and go to bed late and sleep in. He mentioned that twice. He is the Religious PO apparently there are several church services throughout the week. He tells sr's when that is and he is the Sanitation Asst. PO, basically a trash man. He misses us, sleeping in and his phone.
