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 Soh@ppy&proud!ship 7 DIV 170 on April 28, 2011 at 7:02pm: is anyone else having problems with sending messages

Comment by Rabbi Mom on April 28, 2011 at 6:38pm: Thanks, Jsparkle and Robin - I look forward to meeting you next week.

My son's rating is EM - how about your sailors?

Comment by Jsparkle (MM Wife) on April 28, 2011 at 6:29pm: rabbi mom- i asked my husband today and he said they should find out tomorrow what time they will be leaving. and there are only a few nukes so yes they will be all going together

Comment by Soh@ppy&proud!ship 7 DIV 170 on April 28, 2011 at 5:51pm: I've been trying to send a private message but it won't send...to valtameri

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on April 28, 2011 at 5:29pm: RabbiMom, yep, got a Nuke here :-) I asked him this afternoon if he has flight information, and he said 'no'. All they've been told is they're either getting up or leaving RTC at 2:00am Saturday, but don't have flight times yet. I sure hope they'll have early flights and won't have to sit around the airport all day!

Comment by navysis on April 28, 2011 at 4:58pm: Congrats to the new US Sailors and their families! My brother goes sunday, I already told my work my cell phone will be with me at all times! Cant wait for that call and to finally see him next week!

Comment by Rabbi Mom on April 28, 2011 at 4:53pm: Any other family of nukes out there? It sounds like they may all travel together to South Carolina early the next morning after PIR. Anyone have definite information on that?

Comment by ebigirl on April 28, 2011 at 4:42pm: I thought the very same thing. I jumped the gun as I had just hung up the phone from my "I'm a Sailor" call from my son. I'm on cloud 9!

Comment by Dukerican on April 28, 2011 at 4:26pm: Sorry I guess that is 151.... I got excited when I thought it might be a div with the same PIR as my son.

Comment by Rabbi Mom on April 28, 2011 at 4:19pm: Got the call from my son in Ship 12 Div 158 - Boy, is he happy to be a sailor (and looking forward to sleeping tonight)! He thinks four people from his division are going to have to repeat, so we'll all keep them in our thoughts. HOOYAH to all our new sailors!
