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 JasonM'sGirl (Ship 14 Div 189) on April 7, 2010 at 10:41am: I have a countdown on my facebook! It really doesn't seem as far away saying 44 days as saying six weeks haha! We'll get there :)

Comment by t-wifey (Ship 14/Div 189) on April 7, 2010 at 9:34am: Erin- My heart sunk while I was reading through the posts... I'm so happy that you were able to switch the dates. Wheew, I bet you're feeling much better.

momof5- Oh. My. Gosh! Has it only been 2 weeks?! Urgh, it feels like so much longer.

Comment by momof5 (Ship 04 Div 192) on April 7, 2010 at 7:52am: Can't believe Rob's been gone 2 weeks today. Although every day seemed like an eternity.. 2 weeks have gone by already. 2 weeks closer to PIR... :-) Ladies we are all going to get there......together!!!

Comment by Jules on April 7, 2010 at 12:15am: Erin - I am glad to hear you were able to switch the dates! That's great!

Comment by Jules on April 7, 2010 at 12:14am: navymommike - I would like to join your group...I still feel pretty new at this. How do I join? Thanks - Jules

Comment by navymommike(Ship6 Div927) on April 7, 2010 at 12:06am: I have started a group for ship 6 div 927 if anyone is interested in joining

Comment by Jules on April 6, 2010 at 5:19pm: Does anyone have information about ship 6, div 927. Was there a problem? I read that something happened and they were not allowed to write yesterday?? Thanks...Jules

Comment by grumsmom on April 6, 2010 at 5:03pm: My son is div 189 and will be staying at GL. I'm liking what I'm hearing, I hope it ends up that way. On a separate note, I talked to the Residence Inn today and they are not extending their Navy rate past May 17th, so that makes their rooms $159 not the $79 and $89 that has been previously quoted on here. They say it's their peak season so they don't give the deep discounts.

Comment by t-wifey (Ship 14/Div 189) on April 6, 2010 at 9:30am: Ahhh ok. Thanks SailorMoe & nanmcman, I've already booked my flight & rental car for PIR & was worried after I read that about the DIV being Grad & Go. I'd hate to be hanging out in GL alone for the weekend.

Comment by nanmcman(ship14div.189) on April 6, 2010 at 7:42am: It depends on what their "job" is in the navy, and where their school is, and the schedule that is set up for each sailor. Three years ago, my oldest son graduated and his A school was changed a few weeks before graduation. He stayed in GL for his school, and we were able to spend the whole weekend with him. He had to move his stuff though. They changed the housing for him though. Jason will be going to Pensacola so we just have to wait to hear when he will be shipping out. My girlfriend's son graduated this past Friday. He left for Pensacola the next morning at 6 am. So everyone is different.
