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 Amber-Brad's mom on August 10, 2010 at 10:06am: Single digits, I love that!!!!!!

Comment by AlabamaNavyMom(ET2) on August 10, 2010 at 7:32am: Amber - My SR did not say who their brother division is but I think they will be doing BS with 281 at least. I am not sure if they will do more Thursday or spread them out into next week. I guess it depends on where the other divisions are in the training process.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 10, 2010 at 1:33am: Well it's only 10:30 out here on the West coast, but when I finally wake up tomorrow, your count down clock will finally be a SINGLE digit. Can you believe that?

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 10, 2010 at 1:31am: No problem! We are so used to most things needing to be typed in lower case that it's very easy to forgot that we need to type the password in CAPS!

Now, if anyone is having trouble actually printing the form out, here's a tip: If the print icon doesn't work, save the document to your desktop (use save or save as). Then go to your desktop, open the file and click on File, then click print. Works every time. PRINT AT LEAST 2 GATE PASSES. Mine flew out the window after we left PIR, so thankfully I had 2 more in my suitcase, "stuff" happens, be ready for it!

Comment by Sailor's Sweetheart on August 10, 2010 at 1:26am: Printed my parking passes, yay!!! (Thanks Sobe!). Printing them made everything feel even more real. I am so beyond excited right now!!!!!!! I already have so many butterflies :)

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 9, 2010 at 10:21pm: AlabamaNavyMom- Great info, just wondering, did he give you a date for BS 21 and did he say anything about a brother div going to BS 21 with them or do you know who their brother div is?

Comment by kwooley5 (ship06div940) on August 9, 2010 at 10:15pm: Got a letter today as well with the passcode for the parking pass, so no worries. :) Printing it off just in case!!

Comment by AlabamaNavyMom(ET2) on August 9, 2010 at 8:50pm: Got another letter today dated Aug 3rd. Gas Chamber was Friday, firefighting last week and this week and battleship this week. They got some more shots last week. He said my next communication from him will be "I am a Sailor" call this week - I am thinking that would be Friday.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 9, 2010 at 4:18pm: I printed of my gate pass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yea!!!!!!

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 9, 2010 at 3:52pm: Jd ~ thats so great that you got a call and on your birthday, what a wonderful gift! How many phase's of pyhsical therapy are there? I'll be praying for healing bone (which is seen on an x-ray as very white).
