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 January 31, 2011 at 6:59pm: Merry,

Is everyone that's going to Florida leave on Sat?

Comment by Betsy, mom of Stennis sailor on January 31, 2011 at 6:31pm: LovinMaSR, I have not actually heard of any reading the mail, but they will ask SR to open mail in front of them, for instance if they receive an envelope that is bulging or a package.

Comment by MerryMarylander on January 31, 2011 at 6:13pm: Hi All,

I made our reservations at the Navy Lodge today. Found out that SR is leaving the morning of 3/19 for Florida. Boo that we won't be able to spend anytime with him except Liberty on Friday and Yeah that the family can spend an extra day in Chicago or Milwaukee.

Comment by LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on January 31, 2011 at 5:42pm: i have quick question...does anyone know if the rumor is true about the RDC opening and reading the SR mail??

Comment by LovinMaSR~SHIP 07~DIV 103 <3 on January 31, 2011 at 5:23pm: congrats lovinlife4ever ima be on the look out for my forms next since i didnt think that they would be here so soon....

Comment by diannep on January 31, 2011 at 3:38pm: ...oh, and I haven't seen any on this PIR group (YAH), but there have been a couple of "slips" on a couple of the other groups that I go on. We veteran moms don't even like seeing the first names of the recruits used...better to use an intial or better yet, "my son, daughter, hubby, wife, gf, bf, etc."

Comment by diannep on January 31, 2011 at 3:36pm: Ladies: Just a reminder...no last names can be used on this site. Navy security...for the protection of all. It also connects you with your recruit...and your posts here...which are read by some of the RDCs working with your recruits...so please be careful and don't post any last names.
