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 stlrgrl59 Sailor Mom on April 2, 2010 at 5:40pm: I just got the phone call heaven heaven heaven is all I can say now I can breathe I am so proud of all of em..They are so tired but happy and laughing I want to thank everyone on here for just being here and knowing I wasn't alone

Comment by denbarb76- Ship 03 Div 146 on April 2, 2010 at 5:26pm: Hi all

We received our " I am a Sailor" call about an hour ago, he was eating Skittles as they now have some priveleges for today. He was able to go on the computer and do IM with all of his siblings at the same time and post on his FB his awesome accomplishment. He did say all the sailors were teary eyed and emotional during the ceremony at the end of BS21. They had to pass as teams not as entire division. So those teams that had a setback this time will have the opportunity for success on Monday. I'm so very proud of all our young men and women that have chosen to represent the greatest country in the world...USA. I can't wait to see our sailor next week. My candle will remain lit until we get all of recruits through for PIR 4-9-2010!! TJs mom

Mine should be coming sometime also then. I have the phone right by my side while I'm at work. It's ok, they know I am expecting it. There are probably a lot of people that need to get calls.
