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 ColoradoConnie on May 1, 2011 at 4:01pm: So...when can we print our gate passes?? Ooo I am getting so excited!

But on a disappointing note..my 21 yr old niece that just arrived in GL is being medically discharged, they have discovered that she has a very serious cataract in her right eye. :( She will be going home at the same time we will be out there for PIR! I wonder if we could pick her up and drive back to Colorado with us? Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers! She is very low right now, She had finally found her niche. But after she has surgery and recovers she will be eligible to rejoin!! Please pray for healing, strength while she is in holding and a total recovery!!

Comment by KellynKaty(corps-Mom) on May 1, 2011 at 10:07am: Hi Ladies, Wow, 19 days..That is so awesome..I am getting nervous, excited all rolled up in one..

I haven'y heard from my son and I was hoping some one could tell me when Battlestations is for Div. 178..I just want to be sure to light my candles.. And get that call,,I am a sailor...

Have a great day!

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on April 30, 2011 at 7:08pm: Two weeks and a few days sounds even better than 19, I think! Two and a half weeks....

Comment by Tricsious (07/174) on April 30, 2011 at 6:49pm: I was just going to say the same thing 1proudmomma!! Teens!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WooHoo!!!! We are moving on up!

Comment by 1ProudMomma on April 30, 2011 at 12:55pm: I can't believe we are officially in the teens!! Whoyah!!

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on April 30, 2011 at 12:05pm: I LOVE the base NEX! All I remember of the RTC NEX are a couple racks of tshirts, a bit of jewelry and bumper stickers, and lots of recruit supplies. It wasn't very big, but there's been so much remodeling since we were there, I just don't know what it's like. The base NEX is the way to go!

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2011 at 10:05am: Ruth, as I told some of the ladies before, it might be better to shop the NEX on the base side. Bigger and not so crowded. I know that many have told me that the RTC NEX is very crowded after PIR...so unless you have to go in there to pay for piks, you all may want to opt for the other NEX.

Comment by Ruth, Gun's Mom on April 30, 2011 at 9:51am: Yes, you can shop, but you have to have your sailor (or a sailor) with an ID to pay for things. I always bring cash so I can give it to my son to pay for things. I can't give him my debit or credit card since it has to be in his name, not mine.
