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 mamasan 4/809 on April 30, 2011 at 4:49pm: I think you're probably right Colleen, can't imagine they would move everybody back a day!

Comment by ColleenJ on April 30, 2011 at 4:39pm: I was told both on the phone and in letters that 809 would be going Sunday night. So unless they're moving everyone back a day for some reason I think 809 is going tomorrow night

Comment by mamasan 4/809 on April 30, 2011 at 4:27pm: I'm a bit confused. I think, 809'ers correct me if I'm wrong, but some of our guys said they were going on Sunday night in letters home, right? So, why the change for 809 to Monday night? Have we heard different or are we just guessing?

Comment by Sherry/Coreysmom/1201-5 on April 30, 2011 at 4:05pm: shanermansmom--My SR said he was ok with being at the back. He'll be the last man on the far left as we face the div. He'l be easy to spot!

I'm gonna go nuts trying to make the day go by faster. Maybe I should have stayed at work. NAH. Maybe I should start packing since I have to work full shifts for the next 3 days. I'm as excited as a little kid waiting for their b-day!

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2011 at 3:27pm: You're welcome, DKMom!

Not sure the length of time that Captains Cup is...sometimes the winners are allowed to call home later in the day....but not always. RTC FB may post the winners so check that later on.

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2011 at 3:11pm: You all make sure to read the info in the BattleStations discussion group above if you haven't already.

Comment by velvetlace on April 30, 2011 at 3:09pm: Looking good, Navy sisters. I am excited that they could run up to 4 divisions a night. Awesome!!!! Mary

Comment by Mom2aSailor on April 30, 2011 at 3:06pm: Dianne.. yes, I realized that later.. why do the days just ram into each other sometimes? LOL

Thanks for the headsup, VelvetLace. Had it correct in the schedule, wrong on here! UGH! Hoping that this is correct now for BattleStations dates.

Comment by velvetlace on April 30, 2011 at 3:00pm: SailorsPrincess---- 3 calls......Wow. We have only received 2 calls total from our sailor---3 week mark and Thursday morning telling us that he was a sailor now. You guy must really be in love with you. LOL, indeed!!!!
