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 sailormom_jentkd (Ship4 DIV 162) on April 1, 2010 at 4:22pm: Woot, just talked to my son. They passed a test so they got a call home, yeah!!

Comment by sailormom_jentkd (Ship4 DIV 162) on April 1, 2010 at 12:43pm: Katelyn's Mom (Ship 13 Div 153) .. great send me your address and I will send the card to you... jroyce@cox.net.

Comment by Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 1, 2010 at 12:33pm: This girl is going to hang out with us after PIR, so I guess if anyone would like to send a card to my address, then I can share the cards with her then. (If she would like them :) ) \ I did send a few girls that my daughter mentioned Easter cards and she was one of them, and since her Birthday is on Easter that worked out well.

Comment by emma_0077 on April 1, 2010 at 12:27pm: so sad to hear that Katelyn's mom, that must be hard for her. let me know what u end up doing, I would like to be a part of it if I can help in any way.

Comment by sailormom_jentkd (Ship4 DIV 162) on April 1, 2010 at 11:21am: Katelyn's Mom (Ship 13 Div 153)... wow small world.

Comment by Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 1, 2010 at 11:16am: What's kind of wild is that we are from Indiana, she is from TX, and my daughter found out that this girl is cousins with one of her best friends here in Indiana.

Comment by sailormom_jentkd (Ship4 DIV 162) on April 1, 2010 at 11:12am: Katelyn's Mom (Ship 13 Div 153)... sorry to hear the bad news. I do not think it is a bad idea for others to send her birthday wishes. If you send me the address, I would love to send her a card and try to uplift her spirit. My email address is jroyce@cox.net

Comment by Martinez's Mom Sterling's Aunt on April 1, 2010 at 11:03am: My daughter wrote me about a girl that is in her DIV that found out on her first phone call home that her best friend had died. She then recieved a letter from him last week. My daughter ask if I could do something to uplift her spirit. She said that her birthday is April 14th and ask if I could send her a birthday card. I ask some of my friends if they would be interested in also sending her one? Do you think that this would be weird? I had a friend tell me that it was. I really think that it would be neat to get a whole bunch of birthday cards on your birthday, even if you dont know the people that are sending them to you!
