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 28, 2011 at 2:56pm: cack, yes, same here- eastern time (UGH!). Okay, so I'm trying to be positive and patient here... they finished up around 8 am, capping ceremony, pizza party, clean up BS21 ship (not necessarily in that order). Maybe, since there was only 2 divisions it takes longer to clean up? You know, many hands make light work, usually I think there are 3 or 4 divisions that go through at a time. Since they were only 2 divisions, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and it may take a little longer to get everything cleaned up. On the other hand, only 2 divisions need to make these phone calls, so that part should go a little quicker-maybe.

Dear God, please let the call come before I leave work today, and PLEASE don't let me have any customers to ignore while I'm on the phone. Amen.

Comment by ebigirl on April 28, 2011 at 2:54pm: We're two hours behind them (PST). I guess that's better in terms of not feeling like I had to be up at O dark EARLY. I'm NOT a morning person.

I've got our home phone in one pocket, cell in the other. Both are charged to the max. I'm not leaving the house, vacuuming or even taking a shower until I hear my son say, "I'm a Sailor".

I've got soooo much to do before we leave Monday AM again at O dark early. We're driving to Chicago from WA via Omaha! Yes, I have lost my marbles.

My hubbu will be thrilled when we finally get the call and I'm no longer glued to the computer night and day. Does obsessed sound like the right word? LOL

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on April 28, 2011 at 2:40pm: cack, I know just how you feel. Could time creep any slower? I don't think so. Come on, phone, RING ALREADY!!!!

Comment by Mom2aSailor on April 28, 2011 at 2:31pm: stop being so positive aveo! LOL :p

Comment by aveoamare(Ship02div925) on April 28, 2011 at 2:18pm: Someone needs to be last, right?

Comment by cyndaroo7 on April 28, 2011 at 1:58pm: Wishing calls for everyone in 157/158 today!!!!! God Bless you all and try to keep your heart rates down....LOL .....breathe......

Comment by cyndaroo7 on April 28, 2011 at 1:52pm: Good luck to all!! I'm excited and surprised that 162 is going tonight. that's a lot at the same time. So sorry for all you in 165, 166 and925 div. It does give you more to worry about. But at least they have another day to re-take it if there's a problem. Waiting on pins and needles. I wonder why there's so many today?

Comment by Mom2aSailor on April 28, 2011 at 1:30pm: I am soooooooo mad we have to be the last div. to do BS! LOL Anxiously waiting for everyone to post their "I'm a Sailor" call! :)

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on April 28, 2011 at 12:50pm: No problem, Jbird! Looking forward to meeting you next week!!! Wishing your son & all divisions going through Battlestations tonight Good Luck and God Speed.
