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 SailorsPrincess on April 27, 2011 at 11:22am: Good luck ladies! Don't forget to light your blue candle for your SR! :)

Praying for everyone!

Comment by Valtameri on April 27, 2011 at 11:14am: I watched a presentation on battle stations and it looked FUN! Tiring, perhaps, but challenging fun.

Comment by aveoamare(Ship02div925) on April 27, 2011 at 10:40am: I'm sure its exciting to get the hands on experience of battlestations. Knowing my hubby he's going to be really nervous before it starts, but once he gets into it I'm sure he'll be fine. I hope so at least!

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on April 27, 2011 at 10:35am: This should ease some of our anxieties.... I recently spoke with a friend of my SR's who graduated from boot camp at the end of February. He said "He should love battlestations. I didn't want it to end! lol"

I can't imagine not wanting it to end, but knowing it's the culmination of all of their training, I'm sure it will be a relief to them all.

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on April 27, 2011 at 10:19am: cack, here's praying we all get calls, but just in case, if I hear anything I'll post here ASAP!!

Comment by Robin, a Nuke's mom (MM) on April 27, 2011 at 9:49am: saugonda, thank you for that beautiful prayer! AMEN! Good luck and prayers of success to Div 157 & 158 tonight! I am sooooooo excited & hopeful I'm about to burst! I can't wait for that call tomorrow!!!! I don't know how I'd have gotten through these past couple of months without all of you, thanks so much for all of the support and sharing. LOVE & HUGS!!! to all my Navy Sisters!
