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 Travis' Mom Cindy Ship11/Div212 on June 9, 2010 at 10:44am: Sorry....and what is the care congrats box? I didn't think any more mail could catch up with them before PIR?

Comment by Travis' Mom Cindy Ship11/Div212 on June 9, 2010 at 10:43am: A little confused, but I am assuming we get the call the day after, right?

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 9, 2010 at 10:39am: Oh but he had like 45-hour to talk. but he was so tired. He did most of the listening.He is happy he will get to see us this weekend.

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 9, 2010 at 10:35am: not until 5pm Cleveland time. 4 Chicago time

Comment by Travis' Mom Cindy Ship11/Div212 on June 9, 2010 at 10:28am: LMC....what time of the day did you get your call?

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on June 9, 2010 at 10:20am: Now I will prayer for your Weds BS21 group that you don't have to wait all day for a call to let you know they are Sailors. That was really annoying. I think they should reach you before noon Chicago time because if you wanted to send the care congrats box you would have to do it by noon on Thursday. But just my thought.

Comment by Britt - ET wife on June 9, 2010 at 12:56am: It kills me that Div 216 doesn't do BS until Wednesday night... the anticipation is driving me insane! Poor Marc (and the rest of the boys), I can only imagine how he feels. Congrats to everyone who has received the call :)

Comment by sjr23 on June 9, 2010 at 12:45am: can't wait for the call, if he decides he wants to make it!

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on June 8, 2010 at 11:14pm: Good advice about cell phones below - however, if they are a Grad & Go - and you meet them at the airport, you can hand them their cell phones, laptops, ipods, etc. But they still cannot walk and talk on them anywhere in public while in uniform. Calls made from motel room is fine and they can talk on cells while sitting in your car too.

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on June 8, 2010 at 9:50pm: I discussions above (click view all) there is a thing on PIR. it is kind of long but helps you out with what to expect that weekend. My son and other sailors in the mall had their cell phones but had to stop to use it. Which I will tell you took to long to try to get around that big mall. They can't take them back with them to base.
