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 mvpmom on May 8, 2010 at 12:44am: We made it thanks to all the info on this sight, support and the great ship 12. Glad to see you my new friends! What a day that we were blessed to be a part of. Anybody going to six flags on Sunday? Happy for all you girlfriends and wives who got to touch your Sailors! Have a great weekend! Time to go to sleep.

Comment by Libby(CJs Mom) on May 5, 2010 at 9:13pm: Yea for Ship 183! When our son called this afternoon he said he was so tired he didn't remember half of the march over to the NEX. Couldn't figure out how he managed to stay in step :)

Yes - there were 4 divisions today. When I told him how proud we were of him, he talked about how there wasn't a dry eye in the group during the capping ceremony. He said he had never been more proud of anything he had done in his entire life.

I think that says it all!

See everyone Friday (or Thursday at the M&G)

Comment by CorinneL on May 5, 2010 at 7:02pm: We got a call too around 4:00 pm. Our son also said the whole Ship 12 Division 183 passed. What a relief! He didn't talk too long - wanted to call the grandparents too. I thought that was really nice. Hope to meet some of you on Friday! Safe traveling for everyone.

Comment by barebrass on May 5, 2010 at 7:01pm: I thought (?) my son said 181 was with them (183)....hmmmm? Now I am not sure - but thought he said 4 divisions were in BS together - .Lord the phone call was just an hour ago and I can't remember what he told me....lol Anyhow, perhaps someone from 181 will pop in and let us know.

Comment by All for Spike on May 5, 2010 at 6:54pm: We got a CALL too!!!!!

Our son is a sailor (an exhausted one but he is a "offically" a sailor now). He believes all of Ship 12 Division 183 passed Battle Stations. He also said they have been up since 5 am yesterday and can't wait to close his eyes tonight.

Can't wait to see him on Friday !!!! We are so PROUD of him!!!!!

Comment by lorraineld on May 5, 2010 at 6:50pm: I got the call!!! All members of 182 passed Battle Stations!!!!

Comment by MrsOryD*Ship12~Div183* on May 5, 2010 at 6:04pm: Finally heard from my hubby! He is a SAILOR!!! Im os excited to see him in only a day and a half!!! Good luck to all and safe traveling.

Comment by Cassandra Rose on May 5, 2010 at 5:35pm: Good to know guys, thanks for the info! I'll be wandering around the house on pins & needles until then.... haha. Like I said though, SO good to hear everyone passed :] Wooohoo!
