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 Teresa43insc on April 12, 2011 at 10:06am: Flying out tomorrow at 4:30 will be in Chicago at 5:50. At least I am only going to be a few miles from him once I get to the hotel, instead of 1000 miles away. Can't wait until Friday. God Bless all.

Comment by J on April 12, 2011 at 10:05am: Maisy - that's funny, my husband did the same thing. He called and just started talking and I was like "don't you have something to tell me?!" He said, "What? Oh yeah, I'm a Sailor." ...Boys. Lol.

Comment by maisy321 on April 12, 2011 at 9:46am: of course, then when my SAILOR called, he says "hey, what's up? did you know i was going to be calling today?" and making small talk, lol. I'm like "DID I KNOW?!?!?! Ive been waiting ALL day! Don't you have something to say?!?!?"

Comment by maisy321 on April 12, 2011 at 9:44am: ha, just be careful with the bra phone - I did that around the 3 week mark. Had to switch laundry, hands were full, so i stuck phone down my tank top. Didn't realize it fell into the dryer when I bent over till I heard it thumping around when I turned it on!

I feel for you all today waiting - its torture!

Comment by Zacksmom on April 12, 2011 at 9:41am: I am about out of my skin today with anticipation.... I cannot wait for my phone call... WHOOT WHOOT!!!!
