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 Laura on March 25, 2010 at 11:32pm: are battke stauibs the hardest of all of this? That phone call will be exciting to receive. So it sounds like it will be anytime, am I correct? Time is going fast. Can't wait!!!!

Comment by stlrgrl59 Sailor Mom on March 25, 2010 at 11:14pm: Expect a phone call 4-2-10 Battlestations are supposed to be 4-1-10....
I can hardly wait

Comment by mardee5 on March 25, 2010 at 10:05pm: Battlestations page Deanna asked about. Deanna I am not organized, just desperate. I started the group the title is Battlestations Information PIR 04/09/10. I sent the invite to everyone on my friends list. If you don't get the invite, go to the groups tab at the top and change the page to all groups, in the search box type in the title and change to latest it should be there. If you have problems let me know.

Comment by TexasBonBon on March 25, 2010 at 9:48pm: I don't really know but I think this has something do so with completing battle stations and then they are supposed to be calling to say they are officially sailors? maybe? any one else with an idea as to the phone call??

Comment by GANavyMom on March 25, 2010 at 9:29pm: Are Battle Stations on the 2nd?

Comment by mardee5 on March 25, 2010 at 9:08pm: Sailorgirlamanda, I guess nothing new, I stay confused.....with all this.

Comment by sailorsgirl on March 25, 2010 at 8:54pm: mardde5 ... I am a little confused too. I received a letter today. He said he didn't know when he would be able to call but would call as soon as he could.

Comment by mardee5 on March 25, 2010 at 8:44pm: I don't have time to read through. Why is everyone thinking we will get calls on 04/02? Did your recruits tell you that.

Comment by stlrgrl59 Sailor Mom on March 25, 2010 at 8:41pm: I got another letter today although not very long I guess this is a very very busy time for all of them they got another round of shots YUCK!!!
So I expect I won't be hearing anything from her until April 2nd and trust me my cell will be attached to me all day :) Can hardly wait we are all so very close now
