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."

Off to the Shedd Aq tomorrow and then the meet and greet tomorrow nite...and then to see my husband on Friday!! Safe travels everyone!!

Comment by mumziepooh on April 13, 2011 at 10:32pm: I hope you all have a wonderful weekend with some very special time with your new Sailors! Bravo Zulu! Safe travels!

Comment by navymomship9div137april15 on April 13, 2011 at 10:20pm: uggg my sailor said he has to be back no later then 7:15 or they get time off of liberty the next day. I think his commander or whatever they are called is really tough.

Comment by beverlymcn (Ship 09 Div 129) on April 13, 2011 at 10:08pm: Laura - my son in 129 said that it's both nights. None of the divisions made it to the Hall of Fame, but a 900 division made Gold Ribbon (top), and 129 is Blue Ribbon (2nd) for honors. That's what the extra liberty time is. They need to be dropped off by 9:30 to make it back to their ship by 10. Saturday liberty starts at 8:00 a.m.

Comment by LauraS on April 13, 2011 at 9:55pm: Yea! Got a call from my sailor and his orders have been changed so that he flies out to San Antonio on Sunday. I am so happy to be able to spend another whole day with him.

My son is in div 129 and I guess that they get an extra hour of liberty.They got a blue ribbon or something? Not sure what he was talking about.... Does anyone know how late he needs to be back? And is it just for Friday or do they get the extra hour on Saturday too?

Comment by Mamamary805 (Joe's mom) on April 13, 2011 at 8:28pm: Just a reminder if you are getting a rental car, don't forget to bring proof of insurance. We were asked that @ the rental agency & were told that it is needed to get on base.

Safe travels everyone!
