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 diannep on June 29, 2011 at 5:43pm: Z'sSweetie: The calls usually come in starting around 2 pm GL time...can come a few minutes before and go for a while afterwards. Will you be in the air in the afternoon? If so, change your cell voicemail to greet your new sailor and ask that he calls back many times to leave many messages so you can hear how he is! Hoping you don't miss the call!

Comment by diannep on June 29, 2011 at 5:41pm: Captains Cup for your group this Saturday! A fun day. Here is a link to show you what your SRs/sailors will be doing:

Comment by diannep on June 29, 2011 at 5:39pm: Willsmom: The first group goes through tomorrow night. I have it down as 219-222 from what you all have said. So those are the divisoins who would call on Friday after BattleStations (finishes Fri morning---calls come in the afternoon around 2 pm GL time).

Comment by Willsmom on June 29, 2011 at 5:28pm: diannep-veteran-Some of us will be getting the "I'm a Sailor" call on Friday? Wow, I thought it didn't come until after battle stations? Will definately keep my phone handy!

Comment by proudmom68 Ship 12 Div 220 on June 29, 2011 at 4:56pm: I can't believe how fast the time has gone by, I thought it would drag on forever but seems like just yesterday when my son left! I'm so excited to see him next week!

Comment by Karleen ship 3 div 221 on June 29, 2011 at 4:38pm: Remember when 8 weeks sounded like forever! And now it's almost here! Can't wait. My husband and I are going to Chicago in a week from today to start our trip! Soooo excited to see my son!

Comment by diannep on June 29, 2011 at 2:30pm: Don't forget...some of you will be getting that "I'm a Sailor" call on Friday...and the rest...next week!

Comment by dudiesmom on June 29, 2011 at 1:55pm: luvmyboy-

I just asked the same thing in the discussion group for 12/226. I haven't heard from my son since the 18th... and I missed that phone call. I feel better knowing it's just not me/him though. I guess they are too busy to write/call?
