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 Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on June 4, 2010 at 3:53pm: Tristan's Mom: Congratulations! Yeah, Alex is going to A School there on the base. Electronics technician --already an E3. So off to a good start. He told me that they took the guys down to get them candy to celebrate. Alex says he thinks he ate too much but he kept eating it the whole time we were on the phone! Oh, what a relief! I hope all goes well for all of them. I want them all to do well!

Comment by Sophia on June 4, 2010 at 3:52pm: I just got off the phone with my husband!! He's a sailor!! I'm so proud. He's still sick and said that he thought he was going to pass out during the running on Tuesday, but he made it. He was eating 2 snickers bars and drinking a mountain dew!!

Comment by proudnavy_grandmother on June 4, 2010 at 3:48pm: DeannaD: I have 4 (3 grandsons and that 1 special grand-daughter.) Colby is the oldest and the one who graduates next Friday (sounds so good!!!), the next is the grand-daughter at 15, the next one is 11 and "my little farmer" is 6. It's a long sad story but I also am "Aunt Memee" to my brother's 4 grandchildren so I claim them as mine. They are 10, 7, 2, and almost 4 months; 2 boys, 2 girls. I have LOTS to spoil.

Comment by JudyB. on June 4, 2010 at 3:42pm: Tess I got the call too!!Yay!! T says that his division is NCO Gold - just under Hall of Famers!! Go Navy!! He said 2 guys from San Diego and Victorville are going to A school on Monday with him...So you Moms who live in these 2 CA. cities contact Me so we can start a "Corpsman from CA who start A school 6/14/10" join here group. I'm so relieved, Happy and I've cried and giggled the whole time on the phone with Tristan for 45 mins.

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on June 4, 2010 at 3:20pm: Got a call!! My boy's a sailor now! He did say that there are some who didn't make it and have to take BS again but they will all make it eventually.
Awesome :)

Comment by DeannaD-Bigpumpkin on June 4, 2010 at 3:07pm: proudnavy_grandmother, I just love it. I have my first grand child. almost 3. What a wonderful idea.

Congrats to our newest Sailors!!!!!!

Comment by WendyG on June 4, 2010 at 3:01pm: Awesome Sealife!

Comment by proudnavy_grandmother on June 4, 2010 at 3:00pm: Sealifedifferently: Big Congratulations to you and your Sailor. I can't wait until it's our turn.
DeannaD: I do spoil my family! I have pretty much given all my grandkids whatever they want. Each one has a special name. Since Colby was the first, he's P.J. (Memee's "P"ride and "J"oy).

Comment by Tess (Ship 11, Div. 210) on June 4, 2010 at 3:00pm: OMG! Sealifedifferently, that is so great. Congratulations! I wonder if the calls go in order of division?
