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 Christy on June 21, 2011 at 7:17pm: Elizabeth...I am with you 3 Sundays till PIR and see my son....it has been fast and slow at the same time. But it is going to really drag now that I want it to hurry faster...See you 07/15

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on June 21, 2011 at 6:45pm: Sandy- How mean! They pulled the "mom card" on the SR's!

Yikes!

Hi RDC's! We veterans are REALLY trying to do it right! ;-) Thanks for your dedication!

Comment by diannep on June 21, 2011 at 3:04pm: Yes, Sandy is correct. Your sailor does need to be with you to get your gate pass at the airport from their airlines counter. The gate pass is not a guaranteed thing and if you are there with a large group, they all may not get them....but they try to be accomodating.

Sandy, the charter jets, I believe, are at the public airports, but the sailors are bussed either right out on the tarmac to it, or they are held in a special place before boarding where there is no access to them by families (they would be leaving fairly quickly as well, I would imagine).

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on June 21, 2011 at 2:34pm: HOPEFULLY, I've gotten this right now. My SR is in div 230. So very excited to see him soon. I have only talked to him 1 time but have received several letters. He seems very happy and that makes me happy.

Comment by Parrothdgal on June 21, 2011 at 1:44pm: Just T... About 1week before pir.

Comment by keger2001 on June 21, 2011 at 1:11pm: elizabeth, only 3 more Sundays.., getting out the video camera checking to see how its working want to record as much as possible..

Sandy, we are driving we live in a suburb of St.Louis, about a 5 hour drive, not going to be fast enough though..LOL

Comment by Just T on June 21, 2011 at 1:06pm: When should we stop writing to our SR's? Not that I want that to happen. If they get mail after PIR are they forwarded?

Comment by Sandy's_sailor son on June 21, 2011 at 12:38pm: Lindee, don't worry too much about it. If you want to delete your post click the little x at the top right of your post. I am not sure if there is a time limit or if you can delete your posts anytime. I think you can delete your post as long as there is that little x.

Comment by LINDEE SR'S MOM on June 21, 2011 at 12:29pm: thanks soooooooooo much, trying to delete the post but so far I have been unsuccessful. Do you know how to do this? And A BIG THANKS, I read those rules a long time ago and forgot, as I said I am so new to this
