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 Willsmom on June 25, 2011 at 5:11pm: diannep-thanks! I am getting a little antsy about getting the ribbons! I can't wait to see them - have heard so much about how nice they are, and I sure want my son to see us wearing them proudly!!! :) Don't ya just feel like you're going to bust with pride at times??? lol :)

Comment by Willsmom on June 25, 2011 at 5:10pm: Navy wife92 - there are many of us on this site sending up continous prayers and petitions for all of our SRs and their families!!! God is with us, no doubt, and He will give us strength to do this!!!

Comment by seabee_wife92 on June 25, 2011 at 5:05pm: So I'm freaking out, yesterday my husband sent me a letter telling me that he still hasn't passed a running test and that suddenly he's over his allowed body fat percentage! I know they have one final chance to pass the running test, but what if he doesn't loose weight and is over in body fat? Please send up some prayers for my sailor and our family! It would be much appreciated!

Comment by bluedimplett on June 25, 2011 at 4:37pm: Hi Everyone! I finally got approved to use this website! i sent the request on wednesday. took long enough.

Anyway, my husband is an SR in the 12/224 :) 13 days to go hooyah!

Comment by diannep on June 25, 2011 at 2:52pm: J'sMom: The shuttle just is a bit more convenient because it bypasses the line of cars. Many who drive say that was ok too. Just means that you may be in a car line for a while. Not the case with the shuttle. Will you all be taking 2 cars if you drive or do you have a large van with all in it? If the van, you may want to drive. But if you are in 2 cars anyway, you may want to do the shuttle even though you would need to divide up. The walk from where the shuttle drops you off is about 1/4 to 1/2 mile....parking lot may be a little closer, not quite sure.

There is no parking fee that I'm aware of. You should have the gate pass anyway---even if taking the shuttle (it will be ready to downloard from RTC page on Monday)...because you will need this when you return your sailor to base if you drive onto the base. For the shuttles, you don't need the pass...but I kept one in my purse anyway!

Comment by diannep on June 25, 2011 at 1:57pm: WillsMom: She sends them priority mail so there should be no problem in you receiving them on time!

Comment by Willsmom on June 25, 2011 at 1:52pm: Karleen ship 3 div 222: DUH to me!!!! I did order some ribbons from Lala, and am anxiously awaiting their arrival! Hoping they get here before we leave for GL!!! I thought there was something I was forgetting or didn't know about! lol!

Comment by Sonie (Ship12.Div 226) on June 25, 2011 at 8:06am: Lala hoping the weather is wonderful for your special day! Congratulation and prayers for your family's safe return home.
