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 Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 3, 2010 at 6:47pm: I am starting to think that the calls won't come tonight. Very dissappointed. I hope they can call soon. When she first got to BC she said she will call in 3 weeks and it was actually 4 weeks when she called. Oh well.

Comment by Gloria (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 3, 2010 at 6:15pm: Thank you everyone for your prayers. We are doing fine. Just wishing he would call again as you all are too. I can't believe PIR's getting so close. But I try to stay calm cause they still have some important tests coming up.

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 3, 2010 at 5:49pm: Not yet. I'm getting REALLY anxious. Is it bad to get my hopes so high?

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 3, 2010 at 5:44pm: anyone get a call yet? none here

Comment by Traci (Perry's wife Nuke EM) on May 3, 2010 at 5:13pm: Same time on my end too.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on May 3, 2010 at 5:03pm: Jess, that's funny, that's about what time I got the call from my son too... one hour to go.......xing my fingers still..........

Comment by Jess's Mom (Fire Controlman GL) on May 3, 2010 at 4:14pm: No call for me yet either. Last call was at 6:09 pm, so I will not get my hopes dashed until after that time.

Glora, you and your family are in my prayers.

Comment by o42nate on May 3, 2010 at 4:04pm: Gloria, So sorry to hear about your loss. You and your family are in my prayers, and yes she is in a much better place

Comment by sherri camille on May 3, 2010 at 3:16pm: No phone call yet for me either...Patiently waitinnnggggg =)

Comment by beatrizm (Ship04 Div192) on May 3, 2010 at 1:58pm: I have no idea when my daughter will be able to call, I've only had one call on April 19, so I mailed her my list of questions with room for answers and a stamped, self-addressed envelope included. If I don't get the written response back, I have printed out a copy to keep handy in case the phone rings! :) So far, no phone calls, and I'll probably be so excited I'll forget the list. hahaha
