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 Tobianne on August 12, 2010 at 7:42pm: Ok ladies here on the east coast we have 22 mins to go and my blue light will be going on for all the "Sailors to be" I feel like I am old hat at this now, I have listend to 1 divisions get the calls and my calls are always I failed and have to run again. I am saying this now, I want my " I'm a Sailor call" this coming week. I think she is now due for it.

However I will love every minute of your calls as that is so honest with what they say. You can not script any of that call but the first part.

I can not wait, but now I am back to scrub some more carpets.

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 12, 2010 at 7:40pm: One more hour and 20 minutes! :)

Comment by AlabamaNavyMom(ET2) on August 12, 2010 at 7:09pm: Battlestations start at 8PM. Two hours and counting.

Comment by kwooley5 (ship06div940) on August 12, 2010 at 5:44pm: Aren't there only five divisions going through PIR on 8/20? Still no idea when 940 is running BS.

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 12, 2010 at 5:23pm: Thanks! I was also reading anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour.
Now that everything is getting closer I wish I could go to PIR. I just found out his parents are not going because he told them there was no need. Makes me sad to think he won't have anybody after graduation.

Comment by Tobianne on August 12, 2010 at 4:26pm: It just depends on how many div.s are going if only 2 then they could be pretty lengthy. Last Friday some were saying almost an hour but they would call and then call back to give others a chance they do not have many phones at the phone banks.

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 12, 2010 at 3:47pm: Oh and thanks for the info on the blue candle...I would have never known!

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 12, 2010 at 3:44pm: Ahhhh BS 21 is tonight for my love! I wish Div. 282 and if 281 goes as well lots of luck!
I hope I hear from him tomorrow or Saturday. Does anyone know how long the "I'm a Sailor" calls can last?

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 12, 2010 at 2:08pm: Okay so we'll lite blue candles tonight for 281 and 282 (jut in case)

Comment by AlabamaNavyMom(ET2) on August 12, 2010 at 2:04pm: Just in case 281 battleships is tonight I wish them and all the 282 SRs good luck. Teamwork! Teamwork! Teamwork!
