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 navy_wifey on April 8, 2010 at 10:42pm: ok so it started already....how long is the test? Logans mom where did you get all this information lol?

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 8, 2010 at 10:39pm: Div 156 started Battle Stations tonight at 8pm chicago time.

Comment by navy_wifey on April 8, 2010 at 10:36pm: does anyone know what time exactly div 156 does bs?

Comment by ShortBecky on April 8, 2010 at 10:23pm: Lindsayeth, I didnot get a letter this week either. When my son called today after Battlestations I asked him if he wrote. He said No he did not because Sunday he was studying for a really big test, plus he was sick, and he knew he would be talking to me on the phone this week after Battlestations. Maybe the same for your fiance??

Comment by Lindsay (Jesse's Girl) on April 8, 2010 at 9:59pm: yes! I am hoping to have weekend liberty w/him...he will be going to Groton, CT for A school. He hasn't mentioned anything about him being Grad and Go. I was very anxious to hear from him this week b/c he had mentioned he was going to get his final orders paperwork.

Comment by Peggy G on April 8, 2010 at 9:56pm: I know what you mean. In the beginning you are glad to hear they arrived, then glad to get the first letter and first phone call, then sort of settled in for the long wait (winter's nap) and now spring has arrived and we want them SPRUNG! lol

Comment by Lindsay (Jesse's Girl) on April 8, 2010 at 9:47pm: haha, thank you!! :) It just seems like the closer it gets, the more anxious/nervous I get...almost harder to wait now than it was 6 weeks ago! Or maybe I'm just anxious today b/c of the no mail deal this week. *sigh* But, the important thing is that I know he is okay....they say, "no news is good news"

Comment by Peggy G on April 8, 2010 at 9:42pm: I guess I should have said SAILOR MAN ... my nephew is a soldier and he looks like your fiance'. I guess I was just having a senior moment... LOL!

Comment by Peggy G on April 8, 2010 at 9:40pm: You are welcome, dear. You make a beautiful couple. Best wishes and hang tough for you soldier man. Everything will be just fine!

Comment by Lindsay (Jesse's Girl) on April 8, 2010 at 9:37pm: I get teary eyed just thinking about the moment when I finally get to see my love again. Wow!! This is all new to me. Thank you for your support!!
