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 SandyShip11div90 ma of 2 sailors on April 6, 2011 at 7:44pm: I found it:)

Have a safe trip everyone and congrats to all our Sailors!!!!!

Comment by jim'scupcake on April 6, 2011 at 7:29pm: We are here!!! Traveled by Southwest from No. CA. Good flight, no problem getting the rental or getting through traffic. $1 toll to our hotel (Homewood Suites). Very nice hotel. Hope to see a bunch of you tomorrow night. We did go through Midway~thought we noticed the USO AFTER security.

How do we "hook up" with our soldier at the airport (i know he is leaving Sat...just dont know what airport at this time). Do they just dump them off..and he can wait someplace for us...or do they have to travel as a group?

Comment by SandyShip11div90 ma of 2 sailors on April 6, 2011 at 7:25pm: kiwi whose FB?

Comment by sandy (ship 9 DIV. 126 ) PIR 4/8 on April 6, 2011 at 7:11pm: Anyone know how we get a gate pass for ohair for Sat. ?

Comment by ntz4laa (HM Mom) on April 6, 2011 at 7:07pm: Just received another call!! She confirmed that she will be moving to across to Corpsman school right after graduation. ICSailorsgirl, your sailor will probably be the same since they are in the same division and both going to Corpsman school.

Comment by Marianne(Ship04/Div807) on April 6, 2011 at 6:36pm: Safe travel to all. This is going to be great!!!!!

Comment by SandyShip11div90 ma of 2 sailors on April 6, 2011 at 5:33pm: Where do we get the honor list?

Comment by mumziepooh on April 6, 2011 at 5:24pm: Thanks Lala!

I agree with Ragdollrae. I feel so blessed to have been a part of this group with you all. When I visit the Navy Recruit Facebook page, I am saddened by the almost desperate family members - just trying to get a little information - I feel like I am so well prepared and supported. Thank you for all of the time and all of the prayers! I hope you all have a great weekend with your sailor - a great few hours - whatever you have - make it count!

Comment by ochaos on April 6, 2011 at 4:58pm: Travel safe everyone and enjoy whatever time you have even if you have to share it with people you would rather not. Feel blessed that you will see them, hug them and just enjoy them.
