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 MamaMia on April 4, 2011 at 8:36pm: What a day! So happy for all our new sailors. My son called his Dad and sister (since I'd gotten all the calls so far) and sounded great. It appears they might have leave the whole weekend in the 807? I am just confused about when they move to their new quarters at GL. My ex said it would be after PIR. Anyone have news on that. Here's sending a big HOOYAH to the remainder of recruits going through BS21 tonight.

Comment by NavyMomofOnly1Girl Ship 9 DIV126 on April 4, 2011 at 8:28pm: We got us another Sailor here! Got my phone call approx 3 p.m. EST. Stayed at my desk for lunch on breaks, had to go to the bathroom, but nope, stayed at my desk and I got my call. She said this is Seaman (last name). I said you passed BS? She said yes. The whole Ship 9 Div 126 passed!!! Flying SW, too. No flights cancelled from Albany, NY. Will pick out seats tomorrow at 7 a.m. (24 hrs. ahead of time). See you all at graduation. Will resume packing. Good luck to the rest of the SR. They will soon have their NAVY caps and a handshake from a Navy Commander.

Comment by judyspin on April 4, 2011 at 8:28pm: I have a feeling that Div. 127 is having battle stations tonight. It's hard to drive, eat, do things with my fiongers crossed. And yet I really know they will be great! One day at a time.

Comment by justin'smom on April 4, 2011 at 7:42pm: Prayers for all of the divisions doing BS21 tonight!

Comment by Debi (Ship 9 Div 126) on April 4, 2011 at 7:33pm: Prayers for all of the recruits that are going tonight ( and their families)

Comment by prdmom (ship 4, Div 807) on April 4, 2011 at 7:14pm: So my youngest son has minimum day at school today...i've had the phone stuck to my hand since 4 am this morning...waiting for THE call. There is one dead spot on my way to the school that lasts literally 2 seconds...guess who called in that 2 seconds! He left me a message " mamma ...im calling you and your not answering..love you bye.." AHHHH So i called the GF as quick as i could and told her if he calls have him call me.please..... 20 min alot of tears and i guarantee a few more grey hairs later , "Momma FINALLY!.."We all passed". Shheesh what a day ...Im mentally wiped! Now to pack:)

Comment by mumziepooh on April 4, 2011 at 7:13pm: texasmom - I think that everyone passed in 124.

Comment by texasmom Ship 11 Div 179 on April 4, 2011 at 6:42pm: Congradulations to all of you that have heard from your Sailors... Ya,,, Prayers are going out for the battlestations for tonight. I know that Div 124 did their battlestation Thursday or Friday but, does anyone know how they did? I would love to let my SR know. Since he is in RCU he doesn't get that news right away. Way to go it seems that everyone is doing great.
