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 laurie62 on April 27, 2010 at 7:11pm: Our son is in Ship 11 Div 209. He called us on Sunday. He had not gotten any of our mail yet. But he is doing well. He was going to buy Dr Scholes since his feet hurt. He did a swim test that day and said it was about to get into more physical training this week.

Comment by SeaBeeMomma((April)) on April 27, 2010 at 6:00pm: Just booked our flights too! :)

Comment by Sealifedifferently-ship11/Div209 on April 27, 2010 at 4:02pm: Bens-Mom - So your son actually got some of your letters? I started writing my son on the 20th and he still has not gotten any of my mail. I know the form letter stated that it could take 8-10 days for them to get them... He will probably get them all on the same day since I have sent one everyday since!

Comment by Sealifedifferently-ship11/Div209 on April 27, 2010 at 12:19pm: Tristans Mom - Thanks that is a great idea to write to our children. Thanks for sharing

Comment by JudyB. on April 27, 2010 at 12:03pm: Ladies- I wrote in an encouragement card just now" If you can Imagine it
you can Achieve it
If you can Dream it
you can Become it
I saw it on a picture frame while shopping this weekend

Comment by JudyB. on April 27, 2010 at 11:43am: Good Morning, I too have reserved a night at Ramada on June 10. Still hopeful that Tristan will graduate 6/11. Because the Ramada doesn't a kitchen I had to book Friday through Tuesday at the Residence Inn. Tristan commented on the phone call Sunday "Mom you already booked the flight reservations" What if my PIR gets pushed back?! I told him "this is how much I believe in You ". I really believe that if you see yourself there, it will happen.

Comment by Sealifedifferently-ship11/Div209 on April 27, 2010 at 11:27am: Good morning Ladies...Hopefully this week will be a good week for us all, in the hopes that we will all recieve the 1st personal letter..... Keep your fingers crossed. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

Comment by LMC -mom of 2 Sailors! on April 27, 2010 at 7:10am: Nukewife-folks say they know each other by last names not first names.
