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 Cali-Mom (Beagles) on May 2, 2011 at 7:06pm: Congrats all new Sailors!!

12/160 my son said they may be the first of the graduating groups to be wearing their dress whites? Have any of your new Sailors commented on this. How handsome will they all look men/women.

I saw someone else's son was also battling strep throat for the past several weeks. My son too and when he called last Friday, he was coughing an awful lot.

Comment by 344464 (Div 163) on May 2, 2011 at 6:51pm: Your welcome for da info sorry it was not more detailed.

Comment by April on May 2, 2011 at 6:49pm: amk62 I was hoping they were going to go today but I will have to wait for that call tmrw. I have to work all day tmrw too so I hope I don't miss that call! Make sure you bring an umbrella it is suppose to rain on friday :( So your son was bunkmates with my husband!!! That's great. In the letters he has written me he told me that he really got along with all his bunkmates!

Comment by amk62 (Ship 4 Division 809) on May 2, 2011 at 6:45pm: Thanks April...Thats what I am thinking too. My son's girlfriend and I need to run out and find something for her to wear to PIR and we don't want to miss the call. My son did tell us during his last call that they were doing BS21 Monday night so I guess we should have listened to him. BTW...My son and your husband were bunk mates for a while!
