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 Big Mike's Mom on May 19, 2010 at 4:07pm: I got my DVD today! My son is in Groton , CT for submarine school and is doing well. He took the train home on Saturday to pick up his truck. We live in Pennsylvania so it is only about a 3 1/2 hour ride from the base. Glad to hear everyone is doing well.

Comment by Hank(Ship04Div161) on May 19, 2010 at 11:57am: My son is in Corspman A @ Great Lakes has taken and passed two tests. Looks like he might be able to fly home over the 4th of July weekend.

Comment by navymom20 on May 19, 2010 at 11:32am: I haven't recieved my DVD yet. Hope it comes today!

Comment by Big Mike's Mom on May 13, 2010 at 4:02pm: Still waiting for our PIR video! I guess we should have it soon.

Comment by Becky (J's Mom) on May 13, 2010 at 11:58am: Granny V: I added a photo to my album from PIR. I don't know if your sailor would be in it or not, but I thought it was worth a shot. Good luck!

Comment by Big Mike's Mom on May 9, 2010 at 5:24pm: I hope all moms are enjoying the day! Would be much nicer if we could have our sailors with us, but it helps being able to talk to them everyday!

Comment by navymom20 on May 7, 2010 at 9:41am: My son also ordered a DVD - I think he said that it will take about 4 to 5 weeks to be delivered.
Anybody have group pics for ship 04, division 162?
He is also in Pensacola, should class up on the 20th.

Comment by ldyduckpro on May 6, 2010 at 5:43pm: Sorry, I thought I had some pics with Div 154 but I just have Div 155 and Div 156 in the pictures. I will check to see if my mom's pics have any of Div 154 and will send them if I do.

Comment by ldyduckpro on May 5, 2010 at 3:37pm: Granny V/ Mom of FL Sailor, what division pictures were you looking for to see if I have group shots.
