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 17, 2010 at 10:09pm: Love to travel, hate to pack! Im almost done though, woohoo

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 17, 2010 at 9:20pm: Our BStations has begun, Ya! Good luck to all our SR's tonight!

Comment by diannep on August 17, 2010 at 8:06pm: 283 and 284 are brother divisions. They train together and usually do BStations together.

Comment by diannep on August 17, 2010 at 8:04pm: I still think 284 goes tonight with 283. I don't think they were to go last night....I think that was misinformation.

Comment by Amber-Brad's mom on August 17, 2010 at 7:20pm: TammyP-Sorry to hear of your SR's Medical setback. He'll heal well and then PIR will be yours too.
Congrats to all who got their "I'm a Sailor" call. Hooyah!!!! Our BS is tonight!!! Having a hard ime eating dinner right now, feel so aaah, I have not got a call saying he did not pass is run so Im going to assume he's going into BS ith his division. We leave 2 morrow. Can't wait for that phone call, it's been way to long!!I also thought div 284 went last night.

Comment by kwooley5 (ship06div940) on August 17, 2010 at 6:13pm: I think 284 went last night, didn't they? Or maybe today! I know 940 went last night since I got my call. :)

Comment by faeriequeene11 *Ship 07 Div 283* on August 17, 2010 at 5:43pm: I know we're tonight! Omg, this is the most exciting, nerve-wrecking, and stressful experience of my entire life! I leave for Chicago tomorrow, so I want to say thank you to everyone on this site! You guys have made everything so much easier for me!

Comment by dmc20 (ship 7, div 282) on August 17, 2010 at 4:39pm: Congrats K for your call! :) I know it's an amazing feeling.
And good luck to ya'll going this week to PIR. I wish I could be there so bad but hopefully soon I will make my trip up to GL to see my sailor. Remember to yell extra loud for my sailor and I hope to hear ya'll experiences on here soon!

Comment by TammyP Ship7/Div 284 on August 17, 2010 at 4:13pm: Congratulations to all who have heard from their Sailor!!!
Tobi: Thank You for the words of encouragement!! It is just a minor set back, guarantee it bothers him moreso than I. I have total faith in my son and those who are standing by beside him having to do the same thing. Just a matter of time :)
