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 Valtameri on April 29, 2011 at 9:37pm: cyndaroo -- Did you get a call yet?

Comment by ebigirl on April 29, 2011 at 9:32pm: Congrats Kim...isn't it funny how they seem to want to take care of us now? By telling you to wear warm clothes.

Comment by kim12div160 on April 29, 2011 at 9:20pm: Received my phone call this afternoon...yep I have a Sailor!!! So proud of my son & still absolutely cannot wait to see him on Friday! I feel a big sense of relief as I was finally able to talk to him & had a great conversation! He sounded great, but was definately tired! Also really sure he was going to be able to sleep tonight! He actually thought battlestations was fun & got emotional at the capping. He told me to make sure I bring some warm cloths with me, because it's really cold in the mornings & evenings. OMG can't wait to see him!!!! Good luck to all during CC tomorrow & have a fun day!!! I'll still be burning blue through next week....hugs to all my N4M sisters :)

Comment by sharon on April 29, 2011 at 9:14pm: still no call from my son ship12 div162.

Comment by ebigirl on April 29, 2011 at 8:58pm: cyndaroo-when my sr called yesterday he was sick as a dog. He almost fell asleep DURING battlestations because he felt so sick. Thank goodness his division brothers made sure he didn't.

It is pretty late (8pm at RTC) for the call, but maybe he had watch today? Hopefully you will hear from him tomorrow.

Comment by ebigirl on April 29, 2011 at 8:55pm: Jessica- As a graduate of an all girls private high school in Washington State I say- great job on the principal and janitor's part!!

Love it! ")

Comment by cyndaroo7 on April 29, 2011 at 8:46pm: Hmm, I don't understand. It's almost 6pm Pacific standard time, and I haven't received a call yet. Has everyone received a call? I really didn't see many posts today. I saw that 159 and 160 did well overall, but not hardly anyone posted. What do you think is going on? But we haven't heard anything from anyone in 162 or 161. Maybe they didn't go together with the other group?
