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 ntz4laa (HM Mom) on March 31, 2011 at 9:44am: I agree, jajajo and mumziepoo! I was just telling my husband last night that I was really on edge the first couple of weeks, the next four weren't so bad, but now I'm really on edge again! I can't wait until next Friday!

Comment by Jajajo on March 31, 2011 at 9:38am: All too vividly mumziepooh! On Feb 8 I thought the time was going to go by painfully slow. But here we are now down to the last week, WOW :) Good luck to all divisions going through BS tonight. Special shout out to 121, you guys will do awesome! Will anxiously be waiting for the call!

Comment by mumziepooh on March 31, 2011 at 9:24am: It is here! Battlestations! Do you remember Feb 8? That is the day my son left on this journey. At that time, Battlestations seemed so far away and now it is here! I am praying for the divisions as they go thru this - for clear thinking, sure hands, safety and protection.

Comment by justin'smom on March 31, 2011 at 9:09am: Good luck to divisions 121-124 during Battlestations tonight! I will also have my candle lit! I'm so happy and excited for the families who will receive their calls tomorrow!

Comment by Lala Ribbon Queen PIR Ribbons on March 31, 2011 at 8:49am: omg Craig, that is so funny, I have tears in my eyes I was laughing so hard.

I am so excited for all you. I will have my candle lit for you all each night of battlestations and I can't wait to see all the comments when the "I'm a Sailor" calls come in. It is such an amazing feeling.

Be sure and think of me for a split second at the meet and greet. That is my birthday and I am sure while your are all having a great time getting to know each other Phil will take me somewhere wonderful for dinner :-D

Comment by Marianne(Ship04/Div807) on March 31, 2011 at 8:44am: 121-124 in my prayers for Battlestations tonight. Good luck to all the recruits!

Comment by diannep on March 31, 2011 at 8:32am: Praying for 121-124 in BattleStations tonight. Remember, calls usually start around 2 pm GL time (tomorrow), but sometimes start earlier, or even later. They will go for a good while because there are 4 divisions going through and then making calls....so don't dispair if they take a while to come in! Phones handy all day long! Even in the bathroom or at the mailbox!

Comment by nursemom (Lisa) on March 31, 2011 at 8:08am: Good Luck Div 121-122, 123-124 tonight at Battlestations! Lots of positive vibes heading your way!
