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 Lorie on June 18, 2011 at 4:43pm: Has anyone heard how ship 12 division 225 are doin? Any phone calls?

Comment by Sonie (Ship12.Div 226) on June 18, 2011 at 3:37pm: My day just got better...got my second call. He sounds so different. He said they will be real busy, going to have a big test coming up. He hasn't got all the letters we have sent which don't make sense.I can't wait until I can see my son again....really missing him!!

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on June 18, 2011 at 12:26pm: I know not enough phones and times for everyone to call on the same day, times,wish they could have there cell phones,lol

On a very cool note when i went to get my Tag renewed ,this older "gent" started talking to me and it ends up he was a "Rear Admiral 008 in the Navy for 30 plus tears and darn proud of it, showed me his Military ID and so forth , He commanded the Great Lakes facilitary years back, sharp as a tack for his age.

I asked him What words of "Wisdom"he would want me to pass on, He said show "Enthusiasm" amd take out the insurance.LOL

Comment by diannep on June 18, 2011 at 10:33am: ...and, not to mention the SRs who are asmoed right now due to illness, injury, other reasons...and those waiting to be discharged...maybe 4,000-5,000 SRs there at a time???

Comment by diannep on June 18, 2011 at 10:29am: navyrocks> It is up to the airlines whether they issue the gate passes or not. But they usually do...if large groups accompany sailor to airport, not sure all would be granted a pass, however.

I wouldn't count on calls on Sunday for Father's Day. Remember...there are TONS of SRs on base who would need to call. Right now, there are 6 active PIR groups there...plus those in processing...lots of SRs! No way all could call the same day. Some may have scheduled calls then, but most probably won't call. Same happened on Mother's Day. If you get a call, it is a true "gift!"

When mine was there for Christmas Day, he didn't get to call either. Same reason.

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on June 18, 2011 at 10:14am: mine were short and his penmenship not as great as it was before, for sure tired looking.They were wrote over 3 days ,kinda brief. Everytime so far we get letters on the same day. Says it is not in stone about Grad N Go"s folks being allowed to get a gate pass.

Comment by Anne PIR 7-27-12 Ship 04 Div 817 on June 17, 2011 at 9:11pm: Wow, are you kidding that some RDC'slet them write and mail letters more often. Many of you have wrote that your SR letter were shorter and sounded more depressed, so did my SR letter. Sounds like they are all in the same boat (haha), feeling a bit worn out and tired.

Comment by navynrocks (1201M) on June 17, 2011 at 9:06pm: Yep im glad he got to talk to his dad, i told him that i felt we would get a call by Sunday becuase its fathers day. Poor kid still not feeling well either ,he tsaid they

are getting more shots next week, YUCK for them all!

Comment by seabee_wife92 on June 17, 2011 at 7:08pm: I got a second envelope of letters from my husband this week! I got some Wednesday and again today! Made my week! :] I'm really anxious for a second phone call... its been 2 weeks /:

Comment by Lisa on June 17, 2011 at 7:05pm: @Navyrocks...sorry to hear you didn't get to talk to him, but what a wonderful early Father's Day present for your hubby! My SR is Ship 12 Div 224 and some of us got calls today too, we're brother divisions. My husband was bummed he didn't get to talk to him. Their div earned the calls too, sounds like a lot of them are fighting a bug going around though!
