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 Libby(CJs Mom) on May 3, 2010 at 6:18pm: The weather forecast looks charming, doesn't it? Welcome to spring in northern Illinois. At least they aren't graduating in February!

We're staying at the Comfort Inn in Waukegan. They have a shuttle that runs over to the base for PIR. We'll see you all at the Meet and Greet at the Ramada.

Good luck to the divisions doing BS tonight and tomorrow (that'll be our kid's turn).

I can hardly wait to meet everyone. We are staying at the sleepinn in Lake bluff. Kind of worried. it's not to far from the gates. We will be there thursday.night for the M&G What time? Good luch all of the kids that have BS tonight.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on May 3, 2010 at 4:59pm: Good luck to all the sailors who are going through BS tonight, my bf is:) I can't wait to get "I'm a Sailor Call". The weather looks pretty horrible so, be safe as everyone is traveling. Prayers to every and their sailors!

Comment by Mo on May 3, 2010 at 2:50pm: You may want to pack umbrellas and warm clothes. The weather is not looking promising for PIR weekend. Lows in the high 30's, highs 49 to 57 with scattered thunderstorms and occasional showers. Safe travels to those leaving early for PIR.

Comment by RobinM on May 3, 2010 at 1:20pm: Have a safe trip and will see everyone Thurs and Fri!!! Finally!! My good luck and prayers go out to all the recruits and sailors and especially to all those doing battlestations this week.

Comment by Scarlett's mom on May 3, 2010 at 11:40am: Looks like the call will call while I'm en route...the plan is to head up to Memphis on Wed to meet up with my son and we'll make the rest of the trip together. We're staying at the Ramada and hope to see all of you at the Meet & Greet!

Comment by RobinM on May 3, 2010 at 11:08am: Hello Scarlett - yeah word is tomorrow for battlestations with calls home on Wed. Can't wait!

We are staying at the Country Inn and Suites out by Gurnee mall. We will be at the meet and greet.
Joanne, you and your daughter are in our prayers!!

Comment by Stephanie-Sub-Wife on May 3, 2010 at 10:55am: Okay I am keeping my reservations at the residence in since its closer to base any way. I won't be able to make the meet and greet because I leave NYC at 8pm, and arrive at 10PM chicago time. What time is everyone heading over to the base?

Comment by Scarlett's mom on May 3, 2010 at 10:15am: My daughter is in Ship 12, Div 182...anyone else with that group? Any news on when they are doing their PFA & Battlestations?

Comment by Karen (Ship 12 Div 178) on May 3, 2010 at 7:51am: Hi Stephanie, I am staying at the Ramada Inn where the meet and greet will be. I hope to see you there. It will be here soon.
