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 lil_mermaid on July 8, 2011 at 10:22am: LOL same here...... everyone in the office knows im excited. N4m is like my second job now- which i like much better

Comment by Just T on July 8, 2011 at 10:17am: UH OH....you mean that for the last 8 weeks I was actually suppose to be working instead of checking N4M, FB and watching the clock, writing letters, reading any and all information I could find about what my SR is going through.

Well let's not mention that to the bosses.....lol

I actually have a great boss that is ex Navy....he laughs at me and my obsession!!!!

Comment by AndreaLynnE on July 8, 2011 at 10:11am: I work outside the home as well. I'm the secretary at our church and I have a very understanding Pastor who doesn't mind if I have the clock running on the computer all day. hahaha

Comment by Christy on July 8, 2011 at 10:05am: AndreaLynnE...right there with you. I work outside the home and have found that wor is interferring with things I need to be doing...like being on N4Ms, writing letters to my SR and watching this crazy slow clock countdown to "0". My SR is a different division but my SR has BS 07/12.

Comment by AndreaLynnE on July 8, 2011 at 9:56am: I got a letter from my SR yesterday (Ship 7 Div 229) dated July 4th and he said his final PT test isn't until Monday. In all his letters he never mentions anything about BS. According to what I've read about BS, they don't do that until after the final PT test. Some have said that our division won't go until the 12th. If that's true, I will already be on the road to the Great Lakes by the time I get the call. Are there any other mommas out there having trouble eating, sleeping or concentrating on anything else besides our babies? I'm a complete mess. Lord help us!!! :)

Comment by lil_mermaid on July 8, 2011 at 9:12am: Why are you expecting a call today? I thought it would be next Weds?

Comment by Christy on July 8, 2011 at 9:11am: Thanks moms I well check out the 2 places for back packs.

Congrads the the PIRs today as I know they are all excited....We are next...I'm so excited waiting for next week.

Comment by Just T on July 8, 2011 at 9:05am: Mitchellheard.....I am with you! I am soooo anxious! I can't even begin to imagine their emotions, not to mention fatigue!!!

I will be sure to ask about the divisions if (when) I get a call.

Comment by mitchellheard on July 8, 2011 at 9:01am: Well, no letter yesterday but awaiting that final call today!!! So excited!

Comment by southern mom on July 8, 2011 at 8:25am: Elizabeth- so glad you found your for less. I have been checking our local WalMart and they apparently couldn't keep them in stock for some reason. Ended up paying a little more but at least it is behind me and I can go ahead and pack it up for him. I ended up using a black marker for some white stitching on the zipper and you cannot even tell it was ever white! thought I would share that tip, someone shared that with me so I'm passing it along!
