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 velvetlace on April 30, 2011 at 2:32pm: Dianne- I think that 159 and 160 already had battlestations on Thursday night. So I suspect that Sunday night will be Divisions 161 and 162's turn.

I know that they also had some sick SRs from some of the divisions that hopefully will be well enough to go through battlestations next week and graduate on 5/6/11. I am hoping that all are well and get the chance. I want everyone of those SRs to be sailors. Blessings to all!

Comment by Shanermansmom(EM1135) on April 30, 2011 at 2:26pm: Coreysmom, enjoy your short day!

that's funny that your son doesn't want the yn job. Mine said the same thing, but now he says that the job he has is just as stressful. Btw my son is 5'9ish maybe 5'10. I didn't realize height had to be a factor for lining up. Did he seem dissappointed for being moved?

Comment by atorres on April 30, 2011 at 2:18pm: Hi, Everyone I just got a letter today and my Sr said the her DIV 162 is do to go to BS sunday. I think that is why we haven't receive any call yet.

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2011 at 2:15pm: Jenn: No one did BattleStations last night. The ones who went on Thurs night got to sleep (finally!) last night before Captains Cup today. They never do BattleStations on Fri/Sat nights because of Captains Cup.

Comment by diannep on April 30, 2011 at 2:13pm: jbird: NAVY!

Comment by Sherry/Coreysmom/1201-5 on April 30, 2011 at 2:01pm: Hi, everyone! The boss was off today so all of us dept managers decided to work short shifts today! Dont't tell!

I got a letter today.He still has the job of yoeman but wishes he didn't. He got pulled out of the front of the division because it messed up the height line too much for him to be there (he is 6'4") He said the others have to stay up front because they ae section leaders. (I'm sure whoerver those SRs belong to know who he named)

He says he is excited about BS (well, as excited as he has the energy to be)

It's a beautiful day today and since I don't have to spend it at work I am going to go ut and cut the grass or take a walk or at least sit at the lake and read a book. It's just too pretty to be inside!

Comment by Valtameri on April 30, 2011 at 1:49pm: Well, I think that it went by quicker than I expected, but that was ONLY because of the friends I've made on N4Ms. Otherwise, I'm sure it would have dragged by.

Thanks, everyone!

Non-military people really have no clue, and I am sure I had no clue before this also. I have a friend whose daughter went into the Army last year and I said to her, "If I ever said anything stupid to you, when you went through that, please forgive me! I know better now" :)
