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 Melissa18 on March 9, 2010 at 8:58pm: Hi does anyone have family in ship 4 div 809? we just heard from my step son about an hour ago. He has been there for 4 weeks now. Will they let them home after graduation?

Comment by BTHRASHER on March 9, 2010 at 2:57pm: Jessica B- what do you mean adding the event for the meet and greet? Do you mean someone from our group can schedule this with the Ramada so we can meet each other? I know they have a meet and greet advertised but did not know exactly what that meant. IF you have more info on this please share. Thanks

Comment by BTHRASHER on March 9, 2010 at 2:47pm: No phone call yet, just one letter. He is married so I expect that he will contact his wife first before mom and dad. I understand that his time is limited and we have to share...

Comment by BTHRASHER on March 9, 2010 at 2:15pm: TO glm31461: my son is going to San Antonio, TX as well for his A-school! My son is with Ship 13 Div 151. Perhaps they know each other.

Comment by BTHRASHER on March 9, 2010 at 2:10pm: Deanna - I have made my reservations and we will be driving up. We live about 2 1/2 hours from the base. We will be staying at the Ramada. One month to go...

Comment by BTHRASHER on March 9, 2010 at 2:09pm: My son is in Ship 13 and Div 151. In his letter he said he had a brother division which I believe is 152. So Lori, I believe your son and mine are together. His wife is doing her A-school in Great Lakes as well. They are both so young and newly married. Worried about how this may take a toll on their relationship. I spoke with my DIL this past Saturday. She is doing well and will be coming home for a visit in a couple weeks. Looking forward to speaking with you more Lori and meeting you at graduation.
