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 NI39 on June 22, 2010 at 3:33pm: Valerie~ I give your daughter a huge amount of credit for toughing it out this long. She could have given up! I am sure God just has a better plan for her! ((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on June 22, 2010 at 3:13pm: Now I'm wondering if Ship 9/ Div 226 is tonite or tomorrow nite -- Jerr said he thought it was 6/22 -- is there any way to find out for sure? I'll be waiting to hear all day tomorrow and if I don't .... arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Help!!!!!

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on June 22, 2010 at 2:15pm: Never mind, I just found out. We can have cameras at ceremony and visitor center but not on the grounds. Anna, great idea, but I know I probably will have a hard time sleeping tonight anyway so I'll just be praying for all out kids all night!!! ;)

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on June 22, 2010 at 2:09pm: hey ladies -- what is the rule for camera's at PIR? I know we can't take pix around the compound but what about inside? None? I'M PACKING MY BAGS!!!!!XXOOO

Comment by Stef's Mom USS Bonhomme Richard on June 22, 2010 at 12:55pm: Anna - What an awesome idea. I would set my alarm clock but I will be still up at Midnight my time, which is 2 hours behind them. I will be praying all day up until I go to bed. We leave for Chicago tomorrow morning so I may be up all night praying as well, because of being so excited for my daughter and the rest of the PIR divisions. I am looking forward to meeting everyone on Thursday night. 2 days and a wake to go WOOOOHOOOO. Praise God!!!!

Comment by Akissej Ship 9 DIV 225 on June 22, 2010 at 12:50pm: Is ship 9 Div 225 battlestations tonight as well!?!

Comment by annafornavy on June 22, 2010 at 12:43pm: Valerie: Thank you for your sweet words.. In the midst of your own pain, anger and frustration you wished us well.. It speaks of your enourmous character and the amazing mother your daughter has... We all have grown to care about you we hope you know we are cheering you and your daughter on to higher ground... : )

MySonTheNuke: Whenever you get there will be AWESOME... I am sure most of us will be there past the 8:00 dead-line.. : ) If we have the chance to meet you that would be a DELIGHT!! Thank you for your words.. I am so thankful for this group of amazing women that have lightened my spirits and heart throughout the past weeks.. What a family unit and bond we have formed.. I will remember each of you fondly all the days of my life... I mean that....

Cheryl: I love that verse and you are so right about Battlestations.. They are preparing for the worst situation possible and saving their ship and the lives on it is a huge resposibility. I pray for all of them to prepare themselves well and work together as the amazing team they have become.. I have my alarm clock set at 2:00am to wake up and pray for them as it is the half way point this evening..
