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 8, 2010 at 11:29pm: I sent the Battle Stations video to family and friends to share so they know what's coming up. And I wanted to share with all of you that my sister works for NAVAIR, and she heads up the Advanced Systems Branch which designed Battle Stations 21!

Comment by TimmysBigSister (Ship14 Div194) on May 8, 2010 at 10:23pm: I have no idea but im sure not complaining lol. Im new to all this so I dont know how it all works. He was originally going straight to school, in Pensacola after PIR but then that changed to not going to school at all and now this.

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on May 8, 2010 at 10:16pm: I was going to ask the same thing. I just haven't heard of anyone else getting two weeks leave before a-school, only 1-2 days of liberty time. But that's very awesome if he does! =)

Comment by lovemysailor (ship 14 div 190) on May 8, 2010 at 10:13pm: timmysbigsister- welcome this site is great! so how is it he is coming home for two weeks before A school? thats great! just curious cause i thought they all went to a school right away!

Comment by TimmysBigSister (Ship14 Div194) on May 8, 2010 at 9:53pm: He is in Div. 194....sailormoesgirl. Im Roni Roses' sister, she posts on here sometimes and introduced me to the site a couple days ago.

Comment by SNMoesWifey - STG on May 8, 2010 at 9:44pm: Hey there TimmysBigSister, great to hear your brother got a phone call! What Division is he in?

Comment by grumsmom on May 8, 2010 at 9:31pm: just realized I have my dates mixed up weds is 12th Thurs 13th, didn't want anyone to thing I was on the wrong year (ha-ha)

Comment by TimmysBigSister (Ship14 Div194) on May 8, 2010 at 9:25pm: My brother got to call my mom earlier. Said him and the rest of his group are doing great. He is going to get to come home for 2 weeks after PIR then he is going to California. His group earned 3 flags last week so they were rewarded with junk food, sodas and telephones for an hour.....awesome!

Comment by Jaime (USS Abraham Lincoln) on May 8, 2010 at 7:00pm: t-wifey - i am driving up from north texas. i too went shopping for my pir dress and i was very stressed out by it. i tried to get opinions on which dress would be best but when it is the opinions of a 4 and 6 year old all i got was "i like that one too"...didn't help out much! where are you going to be staying?

Comment by grumsmom on May 8, 2010 at 6:23pm: my son is ship 14 div 189 another mom said her son said battlestations on Weds so that would be the 13th and they do battlestations all night so that would make the call on Thurs 14th. I guess it's all just a guessing game right now because I have read on this website that they only do battlestations on Thur/Fri and Sun/Mon. Honor graduates are not listed until two days prior to PIR date for accuracy reasons according to the website. They get a commemorative item and recognition.
