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 Lennox Reaper on April 29, 2011 at 12:24am: I am so stressed my SR is going thru battlestations tonight so I will be waiting for the call but my phone is ringing busy and I am afraid the phone company wont fix it on time. Uggggggg I will cry if I miss her call.

Comment by Sherry/Coreysmom/1201-5 on April 28, 2011 at 11:38pm: Hi everyone! I got in from work an hour ago & wanted to get right on here but my daughter was using the computer. I finally just kicked her off. I was patient as long as I could be! 9 pages of happy news & congrats! So, now I'll add mine. YAY 157 & 158! This is so exciting! I'm so glad they all made it!

Rabbimom--my son is also a nuke. I have asked him what his rating is but have not gotten an answer on that. All I know about their flight out is that they will be going to the airport at 0200. I plan to hang out there with him till they leave.

Comment by ebigirl on April 28, 2011 at 9:49pm: Jenn-Thank you for your post. Just hearing my son's voice sent me into tears.

Thoughts and prayers for the divisions going through BS tonight.

Comment by Valtameri on April 28, 2011 at 9:09pm: Soh@ppy -- I sent you a test message and it seemed to go through for me. Did you receive it?

Comment by velvetlace on April 28, 2011 at 9:06pm: I did not realize that 161 and 162 also had battlestations tonight. I will pray for them too. My apologies. I have four blue candles lit, one for each division. Go 159, 160, 161. and 162.

Comment by Valtameri on April 28, 2011 at 9:03pm: Congrats 157 & 158!

Candle lit for 159, 160, 161, 162!

Comment by velvetlace on April 28, 2011 at 8:34pm: Thank you, Jenn---- Now it is time to pray for Division 159 and 160. Also, we need to pray for the SRs who are struggling with sickness right now that they are healed quickly and back in fighting strength.
