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 ProudNavySister(USS Sterett) on May 17, 2010 at 8:58pm: I SAW MY BROTHER!!!! Skinny blonde boy on the far left, in one pic he's the second guy then the one above that he is the first on the left! So awesome to see him! They need to post ALL the pictures! :)

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 17, 2010 at 8:55pm: Do you know what even he was going to be in? I knew she was doing fire fighting and when I was scolling through she just popped into view. I just put it on my fb page. Now I am getting so many comments. Gotta go check it out and then back to N4D to see if the rest of the pictures are up

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 17, 2010 at 8:51pm: I can't tell if Perry is in any of the pictures. I don't even know if I'd recognize him clean shaven, with buzzed hair, and glasses! :)

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 17, 2010 at 8:41pm: THEY GOT A PICTURE OF JESS ON NAVYFORDADS. How exciting to finally see her. It looks like she is either getting ready for her event or just finished. WhooHoo, she looks great. If anyone wants to check it out, she is blond on the far right side.

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 17, 2010 at 8:26pm: just checked it out. Said most of the pics are of div 191. I have to find my reading glasses to check them out.

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 17, 2010 at 8:23pm: the pics are being uploaded on the navy dads site!

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 17, 2010 at 8:22pm: I am so tired right now, but I know I will be tossing and turning all night long. I am so anxious for the call tomorrow. I hope they get to call. Jess said it should be sometime after 1:30 pm on the east coast. I am going to try to work a half day on Wednesday so I can get all the last minute things done before we fly out too early on thursday. It's a little after 8 pm here so I am assuming they should be getting ready to go in about an hour. Keeping fingers and toes crossed.

Comment by Jeannie (ET) on May 17, 2010 at 7:28pm: My son goes to Battlestations on Tuesday - that is all I can think about. Should have taken the whole week off work - can hardly concentrate there. I am starting to pack tonight - Friday can't come soon enough for me.

Comment by Sara on May 17, 2010 at 7:27pm: Traci - Deep breaths....

Comment by Jeannie (ET) on May 17, 2010 at 7:20pm: My sons goes to battlestations tomorrow - hope he calls me after he talks to his wife but, I'm not getting my hopes up. I will watch my cell anxiously all afternoon Wednesday at work. I am in a meeting that day 1 - 3 but plan to tell them if my phone rings I am answering it. Friday can't come fast enough for me.
