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 tynavymom on April 13, 2011 at 6:10pm: Sandyld7: Thanks so much I was really hoping to get Saturday with my son also. I fly out Sunday at 6am so it seems we will be in the air at the same time....LOL

nycnative12: We are from the mountains in GA my son will be very happy to get back to the small town life...LOL Thanks for the info. I plan on visiting on Mothers Day weekend.

Comment by Mamamary805 (Joe's mom) on April 13, 2011 at 5:32pm: It is so nice here today I had to stop & buy flip flops @ Walmat here in Lincilnshire, lol.
@beverlymcn-OMG that is awesome news! My sailor going to Pensicola & he wasn't sure when he was leaving that would be awesome to get another day with him!!!!

Comment by nycnative12/ProudparentHMSR on April 13, 2011 at 5:01pm: tynavymom, I was stationed in Goose creek my first duty station in 1988. It is really country to me. I was coming from NYC. I was on a Submarine Tender back then, that one is decommissioned now. It is a house for the fishes now. LOL The base was not bad, small but not bad.

Comment by nycnative12/ProudparentHMSR on April 13, 2011 at 4:56pm: Just got a call from my daughter she is leaving on Sunday going to San Antonio. She stated that they had to sign a page 13 which stated that they can not have electronics with them when they get off the plain. So I explained to her that she is not attached to them anymore. She told me that they told her that they are under GL control for 24 after they leave leave GL. I do understand that is for insurance purposes. So I will bring it and then take it back and send it to her later. I will just give her her cell phone for emergency purposes.

Comment by beverlymcn (Ship 09 Div 129) on April 13, 2011 at 4:50pm: Just had a long call from my son. According to him all Pensacola sailors are flying out Sunday at 2 am - so we get an extra day! No hall of Fame divisions, but Div 900 is the gold and my son's 129 is blue. That gives both an extra hour of libery both nights. They aren't flying out of O'Hare, but head out of base around 2am, get to airport at 3, fly at 6 am. WOOHOO!!! We see them in HOURS!

Comment by diannep on April 13, 2011 at 4:44pm: Jaime.....sigh.....so wonderful!

Sandyld7: Most likely bussed out at that time to wait for flights.

Comment by Mamamary805 (Joe's mom) on April 13, 2011 at 4:33pm: @Jazziesmom-Not yet stopped @ Superdawgs in Chicago first, lol. Now I am off to the base. The weather is gorgeous!

Comment by Sandyld7 on April 13, 2011 at 4:23pm: tynavymom - our son is going to Nuke school. He called Thursday night to tell us that he was flying out Sunday am (like 2 or 3 am?)

So we got our flight changed.
