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."

It was someone I knew. I answered and said "Sorry, can't talk.. I'm waiting on a call.. I'll call you back!!" I figured if I didn't answer, they would keep calling back..

Comment by TrippsGirlfriendsMomTracy on April 6, 2010 at 3:59pm: I was in the middle of talking with my boss at work, with my cell phone next to me on my desk. Betsy (Tripp's mom) called me and I grabbed my phone and said, "HELLO!!!!" -- then realized my boss was still standing here, waiting for me to finish my sentence and conversation with him!!

Congrats to all our new SAILORS and their SAILOR MOMS/FAMILIES/LOVED ONES!! My blue candle will continue to burn for all who still have Battle Stations to complete.

:)

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on April 6, 2010 at 3:55pm: Deanna_AJ's_Proud_Navy_Mom, that is how I was. When it did come the phone just about went flying out of my hand.

Welcome to all the new Sailors and will be thinking of all who has BS to go.
