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 diannep on July 11, 2011 at 1:39pm: Our grocery stores and drug stores down in FL have the phone cards too. Walmart should as well.

Comment by diannep on July 11, 2011 at 1:37pm: Ladies in 274...one of you may want to start a discussion group for your division up above. You can get to know each other there, but be sure to stay on this main page too for info!

Comment by kiminaz (ship 11/div 274) on July 11, 2011 at 1:34pm: I saw some at Walmart but because I have never used a calling card I know nothing about them and a guy there told me that you could buy them cheaper at the 99 cent only store but didn't have time to go. I plan on going to Target today!

Comment by Brenda72 on July 11, 2011 at 1:32pm: I know what you mean...I didn't send one either...we look before he left but didn't find any...was told to go to Target.

Comment by kiminaz (ship 11/div 274) on July 11, 2011 at 1:30pm: I thought I saw a couple of others but couldn't remember who they were! I'm concerned about missing a phone call from my son since I didn't send him with a calling card but plan on mailing one today - I just know it will take a few days to get there!

Comment by Brenda72 on July 11, 2011 at 1:27pm: Anybody else have a SR on Ship 11 Div 275? Guess i might be seeing several that day since it is all the same day of graduation...lol

Comment by kiminaz (ship 11/div 274) on July 11, 2011 at 1:23pm: Hi Kimberley - my SR is also in Ship 11/Div 274!! Good to see someone else with someone in my son's group!! My son's letter has the graduation date as Aug 26th.

Comment by Kimberley (Dillon's Mom) on July 11, 2011 at 12:47pm: Just got my Form letter this weekend!! My SR is Dive 11/274 - looks like he goofed on his letter and put graduation as Aug 6...From everything I see it's Aug 26.

I noticed on an earlier posting there is a FB page..could someone let me know the title..thanks

Comment by Brenda72 on July 11, 2011 at 9:16am: I also keep my phone in my bra, but I started that before my son left for BC. I was aways losing it or didn't hear it! lol

When I got his papers....he had list me, my x, x's gf, his own gf...that left out my husband and his 3 sisters......and I do not want to spend a weekend without my girls and my husband.
