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 Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 20, 2010 at 4:13pm: beatrizm...I printed extra parking passes, but I have filled them out. Will you be at the Ramada tonight? I will have them with me. If you want one, let me know.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 20, 2010 at 4:03pm: So glad to see everyone checking in. Ladies, I have a problem and I need your help. I left my carry on bag at home, with all my info, including my parking pass for tomorrow. And I remember my password to log on again, but can't remember the website. SInce I have no computer because I left it at home....I have no info I can access. (You think I was excited to leave this morning? That goodness my head is attached)

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 20, 2010 at 3:59pm: We've arrived! We're finally settled in at our hotel. I'm SO glad to be here. We're so close to the base! When we were driving up we made a left to get to the hotel and the base was to the right! I just wanted to turn right and go and camp out front. I hope everyone gets up here safely! See you tonight!

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 20, 2010 at 3:48pm: Hi all, just got checked in to our hotel.

Comment by lovemysailor (ship 14 div 190) on May 20, 2010 at 3:09pm: def excited to meet all!!!

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on May 20, 2010 at 1:14pm: I can't wait to meet everyone tonight!! I am at the Ramada right now and it seems pretty nice. Also I was told by the locals that driving a car to PIR (rather than a shuttle) would be a good idea due to the expected rain and the fact that it's a smaller graduation (less Divisions). Just a heads up because I don't want you ladies trudging through the rain and waiting for the shuttle to pick you back up. =)

Comment by Tamijzr07 on May 20, 2010 at 2:32am: Hi Jeannie,I had the same question. I printed it out then put the information in pen. Good Luck :)

Comment by ProudNavySister(USS Sterett) on May 19, 2010 at 10:06pm: Jeannie- We are filling in the blanks on ours!

My mother got his call! His a Sailor!!!!!! Crying while typing, good thing he didn't call me I wouldn't have made it past Hey :)

Be safe everyone while you are traveling tomorrow. I will be leaving Atlanta on Delta tomorrow at 4pm Woo Hoo I can't wait!!!

Comment by Gloria (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 19, 2010 at 10:02pm: Got my call from Joshua --- finally!!! He called right as church was over and we stood in the church parking lot and talked 45 minutes. He was so wound up. He says he's lost 15 pounds. Hope we recognize him. I'm sure he still has gorgeous eyes. LOL Division 192 was having their pizza party. See you all tomorrow night.

Comment by Jeannie (ET) on May 19, 2010 at 9:56pm: Anybody that may still be on here tonight - I have a question. I had to print the parking pass as my daughter-in-law could not get her printer to work. anyway it would not let me type in name,etc. Is that correct - you just write the information in with a pen??
