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 Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 4, 2010 at 12:34am: Yeah, once I realized the call wasn't coming, I went for a run. And I LOVE letter day. Thursday couldn't come soon enough! I know I was down and discouraged earlier, but I get to see my husband in 2 1/2 weeks. Nothing can take away that joy. Absolutely nothing.

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 4, 2010 at 12:17am: JessicaB-Sailor Mom, thanks for the advice on where to sit. Any other hints we should have? I can't believe it's less than three weeks!

Comment by sherri camille on May 4, 2010 at 12:13am: awww no call for me either...No worries...calls will come...At least we have letter day to look forward to! =)

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 4, 2010 at 12:10am: no call today :(

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 3, 2010 at 10:19pm: No call here either.. oh well ladies, there's always tomorrow....

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 3, 2010 at 9:59pm: Since i realized that no call was coming tonight, i spent it looking for the best deal on hotels. Found Super 8 at a great rate $55 a night. All booked and ready to go. Now I just have to rent a car.

Comment by lovemysailor (ship 14 div 190) on May 3, 2010 at 9:43pm: yay bought the clothes i am wearing to pir! nothing fancy but cute, really wanted get a dress but first time going clothes shopping in a long time didnt help that im 7 and a half months preg lol.

Comment by J'Mika's Mom on May 3, 2010 at 7:56pm: The only calls you can be sure of is the one when they get there, the one that is 3 to 4 weeks in and then after Battlestations.
Traci try not to get the hopes too high. I really try to not think about it but keep my phone with me always. I got a call at 7 in the morning but have gotten 2 calls at 1:30 in the afternoon. (9 and 3:30 there time) He had no clue as to why he was able to call. Some of the Div leaders seem to know ahead of time. I just tried to expect nothing and then was surprised and happy when I got one.
Keep the chin up....
