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 Stef's Mom USS Bonhomme Richard on June 24, 2010 at 11:58am: Oh boy what a trip this is. Our flight got canceled yesterday due to weather in Chicago and by the time they lifted the cancellations all the flights to Chicago were full. so we they offered us a flight to the next nearest city that wasn't full. Guess where that was......Minneapolis/St. Paul. So by the time we got to Minneapolis it was 8:30pm then we had to rent a car needless to say we didn't get in to Waukegan until 5am this morning. I was soooo tired and cranky and then I remembered what our now sailors (male & female) went through the night before and that put me in my place. Got 5 hours sleep and I am ready for today. I am praying the weather does not effect any of your flights today!! God please part those clouds away from Chicago so that those flying in today can get here and be at the graduation tomorrow morning. Thank you Lord, Amen!!!! Safe travels everyone and we get to see our sailors tomorrow....woooohooooo!!!!

Comment by LindaA AM Mom on June 24, 2010 at 7:23am: Just thought I check one last time before heading out -- good thing! Thank you ChucksChick! My son said he is in back of line so I grabbed binoculars. You ladies are the BEST!!! See you TONITE!!! XXOOO

Comment by ChucksChick (He's a Sailor!!) on June 24, 2010 at 3:08am: @msleahmom I commented on your PIR group. And (!!!) i remember what the name of the place is that you get tickets from. It's the Morale, Welfare and Recreation Information, Tickets and Travel office. Not sure where it's located, but your sailor can ask at the NEX. They sell all kinds of tickets such as six flags, midieval times, and several different chicago attractions at discounted prices. Adult six flags tix are usually 54 dollars, we got em for 34..

Comment by matilda114 (ship 9 div 226) on June 24, 2010 at 1:46am: thanks, thats my thinking too Im on my way, hoping he well know it too. I just got to talk to him two times. I missed the first one :(

Comment by ChucksChick (He's a Sailor!!) on June 24, 2010 at 1:40am: The call really wasn't as earth shattering for me as I thought it would be.. he was all tired and moody lol so it really wasn't like.. OMG the earth just stopped moving. At least you'll know that even though you're missing the call, you're on your way to see your sailor :)
