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 sandy on May 5, 2010 at 10:05pm: Thanks Arwen

Comment by Arwen on May 5, 2010 at 10:02pm: I don't think anyone knows yet exactly how this will affect any specific group of sailors. It may prevent GnGs from leaving, that depends on whether their orders were already cut (though their orders usually do not arrive until they finish BS21) or if they are stuck on the computers in Tennessee.

Comment by Joan/E's Mom on May 5, 2010 at 8:41pm: Finally made it in ...Thank you Jesus!!

Comment by sandy on May 5, 2010 at 8:20pm: Would this effect the grad n go do you think?

Comment by Arwen on May 5, 2010 at 7:53pm: There may be come complications for new sailors getting their orders to A school. Almost all Navy promotion, travel and transfer orders are routed through Millington, TN. As of this weekend the personnel offices there were under water and the facility is closed until further notice.

Orders to A school may be delayed for a few weeks, and, because Tennessee is also responsible for promotions, it could also affect graduates getting their E-2 and E-3 promotions.

The Navy's unofficial motto is "hurry up and wait," but this situation could create a whole new level of delay.

Comment by mrthlap on May 3, 2010 at 9:15pm: Of course, it seems so long since I received that form letter - thanks!

Comment by mrthlap on May 3, 2010 at 7:42pm: Where do I find the gate passes?

Comment by NavyWife10 on May 3, 2010 at 5:50pm: Yes- I printed 6 just in case one or two flew out the window, something got spilled on it, or whatever could happen.. lol I even printed one for our scrapbook =]
