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 LINDEE SR'S MOM on July 14, 2011 at 12:37pm: Just cx'd reservations @ Ramada. The girl at the front desk encouraged me to cancel. No guarantee on the elec. No tv no wifi no pool no dining and most of all NO MEET AND GREET. I am so bummed!!!!!!!!! Got a rm @ Comfort Inn. How r we going to meet. We need to come up with a plan B.

Comment by RobynT on July 14, 2011 at 10:04am: Electricity is ON at the Ramada in most rooms. We still do not have cable.

Comment by BoosMom on July 14, 2011 at 9:59am: Thanks-A-Bunch™ gives you the opportunity to say "thanks" to an American Hero for their service and sacrifice with the offer - "may I help buy you lunch or dinner?" We've all experienced a time when we thought about buying a meal for an America's Hero or just walking up to a soldier and saying thanks. Thanks-A-Bunch™ has created a program that makes saying "thanks" to our America's Heroes easy and fun to do.

I got these for my daughter to use, not sure how long it takes to get them, but I know there are several places around GL and Pensacola area that take them. The web address is thanksabunch.org. The cost is $10 but it provides your Sailor with $50 gift cards for restraunts!

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on July 14, 2011 at 9:39am: We got on the road @4:15 in Arkansas. So ready to be there. Has anyone heard if elec is back on @ The Ramada?

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on July 14, 2011 at 9:36am: Have some of you already gotten your calls?

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 14, 2011 at 3:46am: Brovo Zulu Sharon!!! I am so happy for all the new 7/15 sailors.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 14, 2011 at 3:41am: Sharon-Woo-Hoo!

CONGRATULATIONS to all the new Sailors! Safe travel for you all.

Keger, keeping your SR and you in my prayers.

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on July 14, 2011 at 3:35am: Keger, your SR and your family are in my prayers.

Comment by Sharon-Proud Sailor Mom on July 13, 2011 at 9:29pm: Bravo Zulu to all new Sailors. My son got set back a couple of weeks ago for medical - (PIR 7/1/11). He recovered and did Battle Stations with your group last night. Got the "I am a Sailor" call a couple of hours ago. Thank you to your sons and daughters that he was included and passed Battle Stations with them.

Keger, I'm praying for your SR.

Comment by elizabeth on July 13, 2011 at 7:58pm: Sitting at the airport, flight delayed. For those of you that have SR's going through Battle Stations tonight, my sailor said it was a blast, he loved it, extremely tired but well worth it.
