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 sharonship04div161 on April 13, 2010 at 7:41pm: Go Div 161!!! We love you all and can't wait for our sailor call.

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 13, 2010 at 7:20pm: Thank you navy wifey. I was really looking forward to meeting you too. I am just sick about the whole thing, I was really looking forward to going. I'm trying to hold it together.

Comment by Doren's Mom on April 13, 2010 at 7:18pm: I got my "I am a US sailor" call too. He completed BS with his division, 158, but had to report to medical right after it ended. He had a fever and needed an IV. He has recovered and is doing fine. When I told him about the different things happening there that I learned from your posts, he was suprised by its accuracy.

Anyway, I pray that we all get there safely, have an enjoyable visit with our sailors, and make it back home safely.

Comment by navy_wifey on April 13, 2010 at 6:41pm: @ logans mom I'm sorry that u won't be able to make it to pir it would have been a great pleasure to meet you I will try and take some extra pictures of Logan and maybe be able to send them to you =)
