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 Linda on April 15, 2011 at 9:31pm: I was out of town for work today and got my call about 4 hrs ago while I was driving home. He said "I made it" and then I made sure that meant he was a sailor. He sounded good but he is sick again - did battlestations with a fever. He said Div 142 did awesome! We talked about 20 minutes before I told him to call his father, brothers and sister. No one was in the same place, but he did get to talk to everyone for a few minutes. He said he had eaten about a pound of M & Ms and lots of donuts!

Freebird - Congratulations on the call from your daughter! I will also try to get some pictures for you.

Congratulations to everyone who has a sailor tonight! My blue candle is burning for the divisions doing battlestations tonight!

Comment by FreeBird61 on April 15, 2011 at 9:14pm: It was a touching moment Miss Odi!! I will treasure it for life!!!

Comment by Odi_Ship09_Div140 on April 15, 2011 at 8:50pm: Freebird - your call made my eyes leak. SO HAPPY for you and your daughter

Comment by Amy on April 15, 2011 at 8:45pm: cjasmin518 - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE INFORMATION!!!!! I've been thinking, i hope he tells us before we can't cancel the hotel reservations! Josh doesn't have the best track record to communicating to his "parental units" :) Although we have received letter - again, thank you for sharing, i'll be able to breathe over the weekend.

Comment by lbmom2navy 09 - 139 on April 15, 2011 at 8:25pm: Proud: I know I could not help but laugh when my son called me today, (I knew he was tired), because he said HI mom how are you? I said fine. I said how are you? He said tired. I said.....well....is there something you need to tell me. He said..haha right. Then he told me.

FreeBird: that phone call was the beginning of a whole new relationship. So priceless.

Lala: Ohhh how that would be so cool to see our Sailors participate in the Captains Cup. Maybe we can find some pictures on Facebook.

Comment by FreeBird61 on April 15, 2011 at 8:07pm: Miss LBmom...That is all I did when she called..we did it together...she was ok...and so am I

Comment by proud4son85 on April 15, 2011 at 8:05pm: My son called me right at noon on the dot with the call. Funny thing is he never said the phrase Im a Sailor. First thing he said was its so good to hear your voice and I said me too and then I said are you suppose to tell me something and he said I passed my test and then I said are you a sailor and he said yes LOL

It was great hearing from him. We are so proud of him and now wishing this week will go by in a flash so I can see him face to face. Congrats to all.

Comment by FreeBird61 on April 15, 2011 at 8:05pm: Miss Danag...You bet it was...Totally surprised she would call me...but she did and I will treasure it for life.!!!
