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 Dest W (wife of Brice, Nuke MM) on April 7, 2010 at 3:23pm: Is anyone else bringing small children to the graduation? My daughter will be 15 months, and I'm so worried about how she's going to act for it.

Comment by Dest W (wife of Brice, Nuke MM) on April 7, 2010 at 3:19pm: sailors Girl- I ordered mine off of Expedia.com, with a hotel package included. After choosing the flight and hotel, when i was checking out, there was an option to purchase travel insurance for $49, that will allow me to change the dates one time if needed!

Comment by Cassandra Rose on April 7, 2010 at 1:31pm: Hey everyone! What kind of plane tickets are everyone buying? My fiance's recruiter suggested we buy the kind that you can switch their dates "just in case" an illness or injury (God forbid) delays the grad date- one thing for sure in the military is that nothing is set in stone. But as I'm looking at those kind of tickets, the cheapest ones are over DOUBLE what a normal ticket costs. Not sure if that's worth it?

Comment by RobinM on April 6, 2010 at 9:18pm: Finally got a call from my son today!! Very relieving to hear his voice and know he's doing ok!

Comment by Karen (Ship 12 Div 178) on April 6, 2010 at 8:45pm: My son Chris is ship 12 div 178. He said things are going pretty good. the food is good and a lot of hard work. He is in a coed group. can't wait for graduation

Comment by Stephanie-Sub-Wife on April 6, 2010 at 7:49pm: Both calls were twenty minutes, I believe the entire division had the phone room at the Nex on 3-31... but on 4-3 it was only for sailors who didn't get through and those who did something special to earn it? either way it seems like they have gotten into a routine and will be scheduled for the phone room again soon, their RDC is really nice. plus, WE ARE HALF WAY THERE!!!

Comment by Stephanie-Sub-Wife on April 6, 2010 at 7:45pm: Hey My boyfriend is ship 12 div 178, I received a phone call on Wednesday 3-31 and Saturday 4-3. I have also got letters the last five consecutive mail days. All seems to be well with this division incase any of you haven't heard from your loved ones.

Comment by AlyciasMom on April 6, 2010 at 7:37pm: How do I change my user name to include my ship/division?

Thanks

Comment by AlyciasMom on April 6, 2010 at 7:36pm: Hi Nyssa
My name is Joanne and my daughter is the same ship/division. I haven't heard anything other than a letter from Saturday. No phone call.

Comment by Stephanie( Mrs. Davis) on April 6, 2010 at 10:17am: Kayla- Yes I know. I am so excited! I am sorry to hear that your in san diego and he is in great lakes. I know what you mean about being without him. Even though this has been rough (boot camp) I think it has made our relationship stronger
