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-cathie on April 1, 2010 at 10:51am: The USS Nicholas was attacked by pirates today in the Indian Ocean, the Navy says. The warship fired back, sank the skiff and captured the pirates and a mother ship. Go Navy!

Comment by sailormom-cathie on April 1, 2010 at 6:17am: Garrett's Mom (Ship 13 DIV 158), Yeah on the ribbon!! Thanks for the info date on his BS helps gives us an idea when we can expect a call.

Comment by sailormom-cathie on April 1, 2010 at 6:13am: ER_Nuse32 , congrats on 2 letters, what great news for you, I am sure that until they finish, the worry of being set back would to me be foremost, after all who wants to have to do it again. Excellent news on her shooting! I went with my son to the gun range before he left and that was my 1st time shooting a gun, its not as easy as they make it look on TV lol

Comment by ER_Nuse32 on April 1, 2010 at 2:59am: Got two letters today!! I was so excited. Passed hell week...Passed all her inspections..Was very excited to pass her weapons...Never held a gun before and passed the first time!! Yeah!! I hate that she still stresses on not getting set back..
But I guess they all do...I remember I did...But I had a mouth on me so ..it prob wasnt far off...lol Thank goodness my daughter didnt inherit that from me!

15 days I cant believe it!!!

Comment by emma_0077 on March 31, 2010 at 11:10pm: Congratulations on the ribbon Garrett's mom! Sounds like he is doing very well! Marlin's Pike... just think of a big ship cut in half right down from top to bottom. They are in groups of 6 and they have to bring in the ship and take it out to sea. It's amazing! My son told me all about it. Really tough but fun.

Comment by Becky (J's Mom) on March 31, 2010 at 9:33pm: Cindy, thanks for trying! I may have spelled it wrong because he writes so little it's sometimes hard to read! He referenced "Stripes", one of my favorite movies, and since he's the "A-ROC", maybe it has something to do with the cadence.

Comment by screeminmomma on March 31, 2010 at 9:24pm: Love the clock!! We got our plane tickets today! Can't wait to get there!
No letter today, probably because he called on Saturday and ddin't figure there was anything else to say :)
