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 beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 17, 2010 at 5:45pm: I haven't gotten a phone call since April 19th either, and one of Savannah's letters last week indicated the next phone call would be the 18th, so I gues ti's tomorrow after BS. I'm on the same page as the rest of you...no news is good news, but I fluctuate from excitement (we see them in 4 days) to the stomach in knots (hoping they do well tonight and tomorrow). If I bit my finger nails, I wouldn't have any left at to bite at this point!

Comment by Patty_CDS on May 17, 2010 at 4:47pm: Good luck to 927 and what ever division is going to final battlestations tonight. It s a good night for it...cool and clear. No rain!.

Comment by grumsmom on May 17, 2010 at 4:40pm: This was the slowest day, I hope the rest of the week goes faster I can't hardly stand it. I don't think 189 got any extra privileges. Makes me sad. Welcome Erin, what division is your son cody in?
Good luck to all those going to battlestation tomorrow. The call afterwards is nice and long. We're almost there ladies.

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 17, 2010 at 4:35pm: I just checked NavyforDads website. The captains cup pictures should be posted this evening.

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 17, 2010 at 4:34pm: Tammysue...NO NEWS IS GOOD NEWS. I am going to assume that means she completed her run and will go to Battlestations Tuesday night. Keep us posted as soon as you hear something. I was running with her all day today in spirit. I know she did it.

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 17, 2010 at 4:12pm: Welcom Erin...So sorry that you just found us. N4M has been my savior over these last 2 months. These ladies are the best.

My stomach has been in knots all day. Even though Jess said they may get to call before Battlestations, I am not counting on it that way I won't be dissapointed agin. It think she was confused. I don't think I am going to sleep tonight. I can not wait for that call tomorrow. I told Jess to call me even if I am still at work. I turned the vibrate on and put the volume on loud just in case I don't hear it. Ladies...we are on the final countdown with 4 days to go. I can't wait to meet you all on Thursday night.

Tammysue....GH

Comment by errands20 on May 17, 2010 at 2:50pm: Hi moms! My name is Erin and my son Cody is with your loved ones. I wish I had found you weeks ago and am soooo excited to get to the airport to experience this wonderful event. Does anyone know what the weather is there? I'm in Arizona and it is in the 90's.
