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 Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 27, 2010 at 11:28pm: Hi Ladies! I thought I'd pop in and see how you were all doing! It sounds like everyone is getting adjusted to this next phase of training! For all of you Nuke Moms, our boys are in Charleston still together doing odd jobs until they can class up. If you want to check out Those ladies have a WEALTH of information on the whole next phase of their lives. Hope to see you there!!!

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 27, 2010 at 8:09pm: Jess's Mom--Jess and Savannah are roommates now!!! I just read your post about being on hold and buying a clock radio and her roommate better like the Beatles....I got a list from Savannah last night of things she wanted and she mentioned her roommate got a clock radio, but she wanted speakers, and she has all the Beatles' early stuff along with some of the later stuff on her iphone, which she is getting on Friday.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 27, 2010 at 7:23pm: God is Great Sara.....Amen

Comment by Sara on May 27, 2010 at 7:03pm: Message on my cell phone tonight. "Thank you, Thank you, Thank you." It was Jason. He's in Pensacola, FL. He received his box, laptop, I-pod, phone. He is soooo happy there. He's been calling everyday (almost). Today he told me that they had something like the Captain's Cup. The Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines all played against each other playing soccer. Jason played four years in High School. He played his usual spot of defense. When all was said and done --- NAVY WON!!! He's having a great time in Florida and I think Boot Camp will soon be just a memory. He's beginning to tell me some of the stuff they had to go through. Pure Hell... As bad as it was for us at least we had each other. He really appreciates he phone and stuff now. Amazing how we take things for granted until we have to learn to live without them for awhile. Life is good, and like the song says God is Great.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 27, 2010 at 6:10pm: Great news SailorMoe.....enjoy your special time..

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on May 27, 2010 at 5:23pm: Great news on my end! My sailor is flying out TOMORROW from San Diego for the long weekend! How amazing! We just found out today that his chits to temporarily phase up and go beyond 250 mi from a-school were approved! He will be able to stay until Monday night. I could not have asked for a better surprise after just seeing him last weekend! I had better not get used to this... haha

Comment by grumsmom on May 27, 2010 at 4:50pm: Sounds like everyone is settling in. Glad to hear it.

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 27, 2010 at 4:31pm: Jess finally got settled in GL for A school. We shipped her laptop and phone today. She has been able to use the computer at the library and we chat on facebook every night. She said she is on hold for a minimum of 2 weeks waiting until her FC class fills up. She said at least they put her temporarily in a double room which gives her some privacy. She said she bought a clock radio that has a CD player so her roommate better like the Beatles because she is gonna play it whenever she can. It is so nice that we now can communicate everyday. When we were visiting the Navy Museum, she got to talking to the woman who was in charged. Turns out she is a retired Navy Officer and offered Jess to come in from time to time to volunteer in the museum. Jess is very excited to do that. She is going to go over there on Saturday (doesn't get liberty until next weekend). Once she gets an official request from the museum, she can go over there during the week. The retired officer said if she does volunteer, it will go into her permanent navy file. How cool is that.
