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 diannep on May 1, 2011 at 10:23pm: Jenn: It can be 2 brother divisions, or 2 brother divisions plus an 800 or 900 division, or 2 sets of brother divisions. Lately in the groups, they have gone 4 at a time lots.

Comment by velvetlace on May 1, 2011 at 10:21pm: I have my blue candle lit with the seashells. It is my favorite candle. I am praying that all the SRs in the divisions going through Battle stations tonight are officially sailors tomorrow morning. God speed and bless ! Mary (from Northern California and a proud mom of a Division 157 sailor)

Comment by Mom2aSailor on May 1, 2011 at 10:18pm: Thinking of the div. doing battlestations tonight!
I kinda thought 4 div. was a lot, but I guess they can handle 4 div.? I thought it was 2 at a time?

Comment by diannep on May 1, 2011 at 9:57pm: mamasan: Yes, that is a possibility on BattleStations. But that would mean that some who reported their divisions going certain nights were incorrect. So I just don't know!
