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 kwooley5 (ship06div940) on August 13, 2010 at 12:13am: My boyfriend's been sick too. Pretty much the whole time he's been there.

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 12, 2010 at 11:18pm: Faeriequeene- I ended up getting a blue candle at Walgreens for 99 cents! So you may be able to find one at an amazing deal like that.
Amber- I'm sorry about your foot but seems that it all worked out for you in the long run. My bf was also working as a paramedic before leaving to BC.

Comment by faeriequeene11 *Ship 07 Div 283* on August 12, 2010 at 11:14pm: Sorry to hear about your leg, Amber. You're not the only one who's going through that. I don't know how I'm going to get any sleep next Thursday. All I'll be thinking about is seeing my hubby again. Of course, I suspect he'll probably be the same way.
As for the candle, I might get one. Mike's paycheck comes in tomorrow morning, so I'll definitely have money.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 12, 2010 at 9:35pm: I have nerves going through my tummy and is not even my Division, ha, so I can't even imagine the night that my son goes through it, will have a hard time falling asleep thats for sure, and I'll need my sleep, Were leaving Wed to travel to Urbana, IL to visit family then heading up to Great lakes on Thurs which is only a littlle undera 2 hour drive. I am a paramedic, and was worried about not being able to pick up the phone when I was on a call, but I got hurt (broke tibia) and have been off of work. Im much better now as I get to return to work after I get home from PIR, That worked out great!

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 12, 2010 at 8:52pm: Didn't get a chance to buy that blue candle but I'll be praying for him and his division and hoping for the best. T-minus 9 minutes now! I don't know why I feel so nervous lol like if I'm the one who will be going into the BS!

Comment by kwooley5 (ship06div940) on August 12, 2010 at 7:52pm: That makes sense. I probably won't sleep that whole time!!

Comment by Tobianne on August 12, 2010 at 7:51pm: 8 P.M to 8.A.M but they are awake from 6 that morn and not able to go to sleep until 8 P.M. that next night so more like 38 hours I believe. It is long enough this is for sure.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 12, 2010 at 7:50pm: I have not recieved a call today, so thats a good thing, I hope, this was suppose to be final PFA, so hoping he past it : )
