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 Rosalinda(MAA MAMA) on January 31, 2011 at 3:25pm: Hi everyone, Are there anymore mom's, wife's of Sailors on Ship 07 Div 108 i have only met 2 besides meself.

Comment by diannep on January 31, 2011 at 3:08pm: Angie: Mondays will always be "week (#)-1 (day)" for his division then...oops...I mean until a holiday comes and that will throw it off a day. But until that happens, just know that Mondays for his division will be Day 1 for him (days go from 1 - 5...weekends and holidays don't count). Day 1 is NOT Monday for every division. They all have different days of the week that are day 1. Today...he is 1-1, tomorrow will be 1-2. The week is first, the day second.

Comment by Junebug (Ship 2 Div 918) on January 31, 2011 at 3:02pm: Oh Angie....how wonderful that you were able to talk to him. It seems odd it is Day 1 Week 1. Only 7 Divisions is great b/c it means my SR's g/f should be able to get in. Yeah! (((HUGS))) to all the moms here.

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on January 31, 2011 at 2:49pm: Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you all know that I am back from helping my sailor in VA move. We had a great time, lots of shopping for new stuff for her apartment. And I managed to go to several craft stores for PIR ribbon supplies :) Nice to find some stores that have what I need on the shelf. I keep the ones near-by me "out-of-stock" lol. Has anyone else had a problem with friend requests disappearing? I accept them and then when I go to my friend list they are not there. Then a couple days later they are back. Not sure why it is doing that. If you send me a friend request and I accept but don't send you a message then send me a message because I always send a message with each friend request I get. I hope you all have a GREAT "letter receiving" week!

Comment by davysnavywife (Groton CT) on January 31, 2011 at 1:01pm: Oh no.... I'm in the same boat. I don't have a street address either and I haven't written one. Which means everything will get sent back. :( finding that out and the later pir made this bad day so much worse! YUK!

Comment by Angie (Dan's Mom) on January 31, 2011 at 12:56pm: WOW Just talked to my SR He said it was hard but he can do it He had to call for security info He did say that today was Day 1 Week 1 can that be right? and if so what does that mean? Also he said that its been rumored that their division could be grad and go :( They may know for certain tomorrow I didnt cry at all on the phone and I picked it up because it had the 847 area code on it He hung up with me once and tried to call his gf but she must have been in class He was sad he couldn't talk with her He called back after I got his security info for him It was so very cool to talk with him but Im thankful I closed my door because I sobbed when I hung up
