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 Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on April 29, 2011 at 3:02pm: diannep, thanks :-) I'm pretty sure my son has met several other nukes (I'm guessing they'll travel together), and will be in good company at the airport. My biggest concern was being able to give him his cell phone because I know he really wants it, but I think I have it all worked out thanks to a new N4M friend ;-)

Comment by Sherry/Coreysmom/1201-5 on April 29, 2011 at 2:58pm: Going to work now. Can't wait to get home & read the great news about BS!

Comment by diannep on April 29, 2011 at 2:35pm: Thanks, valtameri, for deleting the post on the password. Can't be too careful these days when on the internet!

Comment by diannep on April 29, 2011 at 2:31pm: sohappy: I private messaged you.

Comment by diannep on April 29, 2011 at 2:28pm: Robin: Maybe you will meet some of the ladies at MeetNGreet who will have sailors at the airpot with your son, and are planning to go there..hopefully they can watch out for him. I wasn't at the airport for my son either...but another mom was so that was nice. My son was there for MANY hours (flight delayed, several times) but he didn't seem to mind. Enjoyed being "stranded" with the other sailors and their families. Funny thing that he said:

"Mom, the ladies are trying to get the airlines to get us on a flight NOW....they are saying that we are sailors and need to get where we are going!" I asked him if there were any dads there, and he said yes. I asked what they were doing and he said, "Well, not much, Mom. It's really the MOMS who are working so hard to get us on the plane."

GO MOMS!!! HOOYAH! :-)

Comment by aveoamare(Ship02div925) on April 29, 2011 at 2:08pm: Got another picture of my husband today, this time it was like OF him. RTC photographer must have seen my post asking for someone to take a picture of the guy carrying the Rhode Island flag LOL.

Comment by soonergirl99 12/159~5/6/11~Big E on April 29, 2011 at 1:29pm: I just saw and talked to 3 sailors that were standing outdone a QT here in Hurst, TX. They were wearing their white uniforms. I hope this is a good sign. Getting ready to go out of town for the weekend (work related). I pray I have a cell signal when B calls.

Comment by SailorsPrincess on April 29, 2011 at 1:01pm: Aveoamare I called the place like last week and ordered one for myself because my SR had only ordered one for himself. They are shipped from Texas so I really don't know if you will be able to buy them there because on the phone she said "tomorrow is the last day to place an order." And that was a week ago so I don't know! I could be very wrong! But hopefully you SR ordered you one.

Comment by aveoamare(Ship02div925) on April 29, 2011 at 12:58pm: Good luck to everyone today, you are all in my thoughts!! JessicaB, thank you for the link, will we be able to order that stuff after PIR?
