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 Sara on May 13, 2010 at 6:53pm: Still no call, I can't help but worry something went wrong...

Comment by grumsmom on May 13, 2010 at 6:53pm: Hi ladies, I got my call about 1:00 central he said "guess who's a sailor". I was in the middle of a restaurant and ran out the door, leaving my lunch mate to have lunch by herself (sorry). He sounded great, tired but oh so glad it's over. i asked him what they did and he said he'd have to kill me if he told me (ha-ha). Can't wait until Friday. What color ribbons did you guys decide on? I won't be there for Thurs so I want to have mine for Friday. Great day ladies to all our new sailors and those of you are still waiting, hang in there, it's an awesome experience.

Comment by Gloria (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 13, 2010 at 6:34pm: I think 4 in my family will be at the meet and greet, so if you have enough ribbon, I'd appreciate it if you included us. If you don't have enough, I'd like one and the others can stay close to me. Ha! I thought our division was having battle stations on Sun. I don't know where I got that, so I'm glad you all have let me know it's not til Monday or I would have been really upset not hearing from him on Monday. I'm so anxious to hear from him. I'm an emotional basketcase. It has helped me to get excited hearing those of you who have gotten the call. Congratulations.

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on May 13, 2010 at 6:18pm: My call came in at 2 PM (on the east coast) so it was 1PM in Illinois. I asked my Sailor about photos and he said that they have the option of mailing them home or keeping them to give to you at PIR. He said he was mailing him home, but has not done so yet. So I'm not sure I will have them by the time I fly out on Thursday... Hope this info helps, Tammy!

Comment by Patty_CDS on May 13, 2010 at 6:15pm: My3 sons ...can you make me a ribbon as well Div 927.
Thanks so much

Comment by jamierl16(Ship 14 Div 190) on May 13, 2010 at 5:27pm: Go the im a sailor call today :) Im so happy and so proud of him he sounded so tired but yet so happy to talk to me. It was great!

I hope all of you ladies enjoy your calls!!!

Comment by J'Mika's Mom on May 13, 2010 at 5:20pm: Congrats ksunagel! my son said the same thing about the Division being a great one. I asked if he had many friends and he said they were all his friends, they are a great group of guys. I am kind of relieved and so proud of all the new sailors. He said they let him buy a Reese's Peanutbutter cup but didn't think he could eat it because he wasn't feeling well. I hope they all get well by graduation. His voice was hoarse from yelling as well. I hope they all get a good nights sleep tonight.
