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 colleen on April 7, 2010 at 3:33pm: Got a letter from my son today, he said his div (06/922) has Battle Stations on Sunday. I think his is the last div in the 4-16 PIR group to go. Hope to hear from him on Monday.

Comment by ER_Nuse32 on April 7, 2010 at 12:39pm: Logans Mom...I agree! Big thank you for all the love and support. You all have made this easier for me. And a place I can go to share the same feelings that we all have. Were down to the wire. I pray that the last week goes smoothly and we all have proud sailor at the end! Each of you that are going to the meet and greet..I look forward to meeting with you all!

Comment by sailormom-cathie on April 7, 2010 at 10:15am: Logan's Mom SHIP 13 DIV 156 I agree, and ditto I don't think I would have made it through this without all of the support I have received here. Thank you to all, can't wait to meet everyone.

Comment by Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 7, 2010 at 12:42am: Ship 13 Div 153 will be doing BS today Wednesday April 7th. Keeping my fingers crossed and saying a lots of prayers for everyone!

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 6, 2010 at 10:41pm: Time is going by so fast now that I am afraid I am going to forget something. I just want to send out a big thank you to all of the moms, dads, girlfriends, aunts, and wives etc., who belong to this group. I don’t know how I would have made it through these last few weeks without you all. I was able to deal with Logan being away knowing that I am not going through this journey alone. Thank you for being there. Thank you for letting me read your words and thank you for including my son in your prayers. You are all an amazing group of people and we have made it through this journey (that we thought would never end) together. I will continue to pray for you all and especially your sons and daughters.
I think we all deserve our own flags and ribbons for surviving these last few weeks. We will be gradating right beside ours sons and daughters. Go Navy!!!
