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 annafornavy on June 22, 2010 at 8:41pm: jpk: My son had told me DIV 223 designed their logo and shirts as well he said he ordered one for me and his little brother.. : ) I cant wait to wear it.. : )

Vicki: I am all bundled up too... LOL... Sleep will certainly escape me this evening but that is okay.. If my SON is up all night I can certainly endure one sleepless night.. I am an RV sales rep for a manufacturer and this is the week we decided to fly all our dealer in and show them the new product... BAD WEEK for me when all I can think about is DUSTIN... I am trying to stay focused at work but I have my moments of wandering off in my mind.. ALL my dealers are gracious and wonderful and understand that I just want to be in GL's now... : )

Comment by lila on June 22, 2010 at 8:33pm: nancy thank you for putting the battlestation link up. it was good to see what they will be doing.

Comment by annafornavy on June 22, 2010 at 8:03pm: Kylesmom: My heart is broken for us that we wont be able to wrap our arms around you in a group hug. BUT SO THANKFUL that Kyle will be able to march on next Thursday... We are so happy and honored to have walked this path with you and we are fortunate to have had you this long.. You have been a blessing to us all...

CW MOM: Good Luck to you as well.. I hope everything from this point forward is smooth for your son... I know it was a hearbreaking time for you as well and we all felt your pain with you... I am so happy you and Kyles mom have each other.. The fire works are AWESOME at GL's I would definatly take part in that.. : )

I believe BS is for 223, 224 and 225 this evening. They can have up to 4 DIV's on the ship at one time..But it is hard to say when they were going through unless they let you know.. I know DIV 223 is tonight for sure.. I know I wont be able to sleep.. One hour from now they will begin..
