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 TexasBonBon on March 30, 2010 at 6:07pm: Blaze... how does that work? My son would like his wife to join him as well, are the apartments expensive... should he get her on a list? We have no idea where to even start...

Comment by Blaze Cox Ship 13 Div 151 on March 30, 2010 at 4:49pm: Yes we will. After the weekend I should be coming back to my parent command and signing my retirement paperwork and getting out of the corps and going straight back to Chicago to be with my wife while she's in A school at Great Lakes within 2 weeks.

Comment by Blaze Cox Ship 13 Div 151 on March 30, 2010 at 4:19pm: My wife is Ship 13 Div 151. My unit wasnt going to approve my leave to go to the PIR but they finally did so I'll be surprising my wife on that day.

Comment by Ann on March 30, 2010 at 4:01pm: Talked with people at shirt place and the turn around is 4-6 weeks. Cannot get before graduation. Thought someone might be interested.

Comment by Tripper'smomBetsy on March 30, 2010 at 3:14pm: Hi Rocio and Linda, My son is ship 13 div 149. It is a possibility that they are brother ships and will do their battlestations together. Do you know when yours begins? I have not heard when my son's is and I am going nuts!
