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 Jenacfs on March 15, 2011 at 9:05am: He left on Feb. 23rd, he is on ship 09 division 139.

Comment by K&D's Mom on March 15, 2011 at 9:01am: JEN-When did ur SR leave? NOT sure if that would make a difference though, if they are in the same SHIP3

Comment by Jenacfs on March 15, 2011 at 9:00am: Hey megs, My husband got paid today.

Comment by K&D's Mom on March 15, 2011 at 8:43am: Doesn't look like our SR got paid yet.

Comment by Megs-Sailor Wife on March 15, 2011 at 8:40am: Did anyone get paid today?

Comment by SailorsLove (Ship09 Div139) on March 14, 2011 at 10:19pm: I live in Milwaukee, about an hour away, definitely "blah" during that time. It's really unpredictable, it's that weird April-May change. Could be rainy, could be sunny and breezy.

Comment by K&D's Mom on March 14, 2011 at 10:16pm: My friedn who lives about 10 miles from the RTC said the weather is "blah" during that time. HOPE that helps!

Comment by diannep on March 14, 2011 at 9:10pm: lbmom2navy: They only make them open the mail in front of the RDCs if it is suspicious looking, too large, too thick, etc. I don't think you have anything to worry about...and if he DID have to open it, it would not be a problem. It's wonderful that your son did this before he left! What a truly special time for you all.

Comment by diannep on March 14, 2011 at 9:08pm: J'sMom: Yes, they do get to go outside...weather permitting...to march, etc. They do much of their physical fitness inside....at least, in the winter months. My son was there Nov-Feb so they weren't outside too much then. Except to march ....and shovel snow!

Comment by diannep on March 14, 2011 at 9:06pm: MegsSailor....then NO WORRIES! No, they do not make them open the mail in front of the RDCs...unless...it is suspicious looking---too big, too thick, etc. Simple normal-sized letters...nope. So I wouldn't worry about one little heart sticker from his precious daughter....not at all!
