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 siscarrie on February 18, 2010 at 10:36am: I was wondering if anyone was getting letters. My last letter was Saturday, i guess they are really busy, maybe we will get one before the week is up.

Comment by hlwolter on February 17, 2010 at 8:07pm: I know it's like Christmas every week when the mail arrives.

Comment by Lisa Marie on February 17, 2010 at 8:03pm: Mailman > Santa

Comment by Donna D on February 17, 2010 at 5:33pm: I too was brought to tears when I saw that part...Hope all goes well for div 107 when they go through that.

Comment by Nona on February 17, 2010 at 5:00pm: That was an excellent preview for us as to what happens during Battle Station 21! Our Sailors will NOT be able to tell you about it once he/she has been through it! So I highly recommend that you watch it! THEN you will have SOME understanding as to what they are doing!

Comment by Nancy69 on February 17, 2010 at 11:32am: That makes sense skyjan- I think div 109 is 3/1... but I'm not positive... I swear my boy should be a cryptologist! LOL... I have to try and decipher all his letters!!

Comment by siscarrie on February 17, 2010 at 10:50am: So i guess everyone is doing Battle Station prob the end of next week? I was wondering, We will be driving to PIR from Texas we are leaving early Wed. morning , so do you think i should hear something before then?

Comment by Gary T on February 12, 2010 at 3:11pm Debbie, the Visitor Center is at Gate 1 on the A-School side. Plenty of parking. If he has his cell phone have him call you when he is walking out and you can meet him at the pedestrian gate. Usually if he is alone you will have to meet him at that gate. Drive east on Buckley past the main gate to RTC. Follow the curve around to Sheridan Ave. Turn right and go north. First stop light is Farragut which is the main gate. Drive through the intersection and take the next immediate right turn into the Visitor Center parking lot. You will see plenty of cabs and cars parked there. When you meet your sailor both of you go into the visitor center and obtain a pass to drive onto the base. You will not be able to drive on base unless you have a person with a valid military ID in the vehicle. If you choose to get the pass have the ladies make it for the whole weekend. It is much easier to drive him to his ship and offload things then it is to carry them back to the ship. Some of these ships are a good 25 to 30 minute walk one way. Go to GOOGLE maps and study the route, it is quite easy. Gary T.
