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 Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 4, 2010 at 10:18pm: What is G&G?

Comment by sailormom-cathie on April 4, 2010 at 9:32pm: OMG so exciting to know that BS21 is starting this week, I wonder how they schedule, if DIV158 is Friday does that mean DIV 161 is the following week? Sure wish there was a place we could get their schedules.

Comment by Stacie - Sailor Logan's Mom on April 4, 2010 at 8:00pm: Happy Easter all. It has been such a long time since I have been on. Hope everyone is doing well. Logan's division is doing battle stations on Thursday so I plan on being glued to my phone to get that "I'm a Sailor" call. Does anyone know if our sailors can ride the shuttle back to the hotel with us when they are on liberty or do we need to go back and get our car and pick him up at the front gate?

Comment by Sailor Garrett's Mom DIV 158 on April 4, 2010 at 7:55pm: In my son's letter this past week he said he would be calling on Friday, April 9th after Battlestations - he is in DIV 158. Happy Easter to Everyone and Their Families!

Comment by Zacsmom88 on April 4, 2010 at 7:13pm: JessicaB- I think my son said his battle stations are week 6....would that be this coming week then?

Comment by JN838 on April 4, 2010 at 5:46pm: i m new to this site...did everyone order the ticket and hotel for april 16th PIR?I M still not sure if ship13-DIV155 is GNG..does anyone here know?

Comment by Bob (Christian's Dad) on April 4, 2010 at 2:45pm: Has anyone gotten a password yet for the parking pass for PIR? I think you can print them starting tomorrow on the Navy boot camp site.

Comment by Faith NJ sailor mom on April 4, 2010 at 11:54am: Chris- I sent you a friend request, I want to send you a PM- Thx Faith

Comment by tigersmom on April 4, 2010 at 11:45am: Ours kiddos are becoming responsible, honorable young men and women!! Easter blessings to our great children and their wonderful families!!

Comment by Becky (J's Mom) on April 4, 2010 at 11:08am: the video almost put me in tears! I cannot imagine my son doing that! And to tell you the truth, I hadn't even considered the fact that any of the recruits may not pass--shows how naive I am, huh?
Happy Easter to everyone! and Happy Easter to all of our loved ones in the US Navy!
