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 Margaret(captivemom)Sh10 DIV 167 on April 21, 2010 at 3:46pm: I HAVE A SAILOR!!!!!!!!! YAAAAAAAAY!!!! CONGRATULATIONS 167/168!!!! Just got off the phone with Brian (40 Minutes!!! OMG!!! A dream come true!!! lol. I'm crying now. Sorry. HAPPY TEARS!!! He said IT WAS FUN!!!! Go figure hahaha. He said all of 167 passed Yayyyy. Sorry. I'm still at work and didn't have time to scroll down to read posts - I hope all of 168 passed too...I'm sure they did Congrats 168 too!!!!! I'll read them when I get home. Now that I can drive safely again. lol. He ordered a whole pkg. he said for us pics but no video - may be able to do that later he said. They (167) came in 3rd at Captain's Cup. Poor k...oops....SAILOR (not a kid anymore) sounded exhausted. Said they finished around 7:30am this morning and that the RDC's were probably the most easy going on the Ship. The only thing was that they didn't get to go to Rookie Heaven. He said that it was the RDC's choice whether or not they go and he didn't really care. He was way to tired to care. His foot really isn't bothering him right now, so that's a good thing. He actually told me he missed me (wouldn't say the "L" word because, "Mom, there are PEOPLE around" hahaha at least he hasn't lost his sense of humor! OK gotta get home to pack now. I told him to call his Dad and make his day b4 he leaves work and also his girlfriend. I don't think he really wanted to cause he almost fell asleep on the phone with me a few times and he's just sooo exhausted. Don't think he wanted to be on the phone at ALL, but did his "duty" lol. Hopefully he calls his Dad and his girlfriend b4 he conks out. OMG!!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY I'M ON CLOUD NINE!!! Now I just have to GET there! Can't wait to meet EVERYONE! Thanks for all the love and support. Gotta run. I'll check in when I get home later.
TTYL, Margaret (PNM - SAILOR Brian!!!!) Hoo-rah!!!!!!!!! GO NAVY!!!
