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 susane on June 29, 2010 at 7:08am: We got a call Monday morning from Chris's (ship 3 div 232) wife. He told her he won't be going to BS because he's been sick and couldn't pass his PFA. So he is moved to Ship 6 div 2347(?) and will work to pass his last test and go through BS.
Good luck to all your new sailors --- the phones will be ringing soon!! Enjoy the PIR.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on June 29, 2010 at 2:19am: Congrats to all those who are proud parents/friends/spouses of Sailors! And for those still waiting for BS-21 to finish, I'm sure they will do absolutely fine!
Please travel safely to PIR this week and enjoy your loved one, you are going to be so surprised at their transformation - and so proud to have a Navy Sailor in your family! Blessings to all.

We are expecting the phone call on the road also..hope we have signal..lol.

Comment by proudmom on June 28, 2010 at 10:01pm: Kathy~ Thanks I was going a little crazy trying to figure it out. I am a nervous wreck, I know he will do fine but, there is always that chance. We will have to meet there somewhere. Have a great night!

Comment by Osprey01 on June 28, 2010 at 9:58pm: Still waiting for ship 03 div 231 BS21 also! We are leaving in the AM so hopefully we get the call on the road tomorrow.

Comment by txmom (ship 3 div 232) on June 28, 2010 at 9:43pm: Thanks Hoppi she found her license. :)

Comment by Kathy on June 28, 2010 at 9:41pm: My son is also ship 3 div 234. I think their Battle Stations is tonight. I looked up an article online about BS21. It says the recruits are marched to the BS21 complex around 8 pm, they go throughout the night and allowed to call tomorrow. I hope this helps. I'm nervous too. The site I got that info is http://www.navytimes.com/news/2007/09/nany_bootcamp_070909w/

Comment by proudmom on June 28, 2010 at 9:22pm: Does anyone know when Battle Stations for ship 3 Div. 234 is? I am very restless knowing that it has to be soon,
