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 PatsMom (Ship 6, Div 934) on June 9, 2010 at 10:42am: Crikey it's like when they went to Kindergarten for the first time and got exposed to all that stuff LOL! Glad to know he's not alone in his suffering. I can't imagine surviving all they survive in boot camp, let alone survive it with a nasty bug! Yuckkk! He mentioned the cold pack and once we realized that wasn't a "cold compress" we were sure he was getting all the medical help he needed. LOL He gets some downtime this week for wisdom teeth so hopefully he can get some rest. His letter today did say he thought he was getting more sleep there than he did at home. Old Mom was glad to hear he was resting well and eating all his veggies. :-) Gosh I can't wait for PIR!!!

Comment by PatsMom (Ship 6, Div 934) on June 9, 2010 at 10:29am: Got our call yesterday evening. OMG what a relief! Is it possible that his voice lowered while he was up there? Poor guy has had a cold since Day 2. Letters arrived again this morning and I'm now sure he's doing just fine! Whew!

Comment by SubWifeSarah on June 8, 2010 at 8:41pm: It was SOOOO good to talk to my husband! It was such a positive conversation because we were both just SO excited to hear each other's voices. =) It will be wonderful to see all of our sailors at PIR!

Comment by NancyJo (NNPTC) on June 8, 2010 at 4:37pm: What does it mean to have battlestations?

Comment by NFVMom on June 6, 2010 at 11:03pm: Mom2sailorsx3 Div 934 Thanks for posting the link for the free signs, I just placed an order for mine also.

Comment by NFVMom on June 6, 2010 at 5:08pm: Thanks Jags mom I will have to search for that and check it out.

Comment by NFVMom on June 4, 2010 at 11:13pm: Anyone know what B.A.S.E.S means? My son said in his letter that is what they did on May 28, I can't seem to find what that means.
