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 jgoody/new Nuke mom on May 13, 2010 at 9:05am: I am so excited for all of you - tomorrow is a big day. Safe travels to all of you. I am so envious. But mostly, sad that I can't be with you & have the chance to meet all of you. This is where my son started; I know that he was proud of his division & I was proud for him. You all have so much to celebrate. Have a great time. And try to stay warm & dry :-)

Comment by ILNavyMom2010 on May 13, 2010 at 8:55am: Safe travels to all!

Comment by Joan/E's Mom on May 12, 2010 at 11:05pm: I pray that you all have travel mercy to and from the graduation...That you enjoy yourself tremendously and be blessed beyond your imagination in Jesus Name.!!!

Comment by NavyWife10 on May 12, 2010 at 5:00pm: Has anyone heard from from 811 yet? No one is our group has gotten calls ...

Comment by sandy on May 12, 2010 at 10:35am: I got my call last Friday shortly before 3pm EST. My son did his last Thursday.

Comment by fibelmail on May 12, 2010 at 10:15am: Anticipation! For those who have already had their calls - Congratulations!

My daughter (187) was supposed to do BS21 on Tuesday, so we are awaiting the call. Can anyone who already got the call tell me...

1) Did they call right after the ceremony, or did they have to wait?
2) When did you sailors say it started (8pm... Midnight... ect)?

Since we leave for Chicago first thing in the morning, we are so anxious for the call.

Comment by Skins Mom (Ship 12 Div 186) on May 11, 2010 at 11:41pm: Hi All! Well I received a letter today. He did pass on FRIDAY! He could not call me to tell me that he passed BS due to a dental appointment! I am very relieved to know that it is done! About the ballcap ceremony, his exact words were, "I can't think of any other moment in my life that can top that ceremony"! I am so extremely proud to say that I am now a mom of a Sailor!!
