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 Debera1952 (SR Kyles Mom) on August 22, 2011 at 1:51pm: I got a phone call we spoke about fifteen and he wanted to let the others have a chance to call home. He is a "Sailor"!

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 22, 2011 at 1:51pm: I want to cry. We have waited 8 weeks for this phone call and RTC can't have a working phone for him to use?! I am so frustrated right now.

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 22, 2011 at 1:47pm: My fiance is 274, and when he called, the phone was silent! I couldn't hear him!! :((((

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 22, 2011 at 1:25pm: OMG! My son is in 279!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU for posting this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Comment by trapier on August 22, 2011 at 1:01pm: We are praying with you Mann-Clan. I am sure he has passed and he wants to surprise you with the "I'm a Sailor" call!!

Comment by BrendansParents on August 22, 2011 at 12:55pm: Barb, did Mike know anything about Brendan and how he's doing? We're hoping to get our "I'm a sailor" call tomorrow. But its just based on faith.

Comment by Mike's Mom on August 22, 2011 at 12:21pm: Got a call today!!!! 270 gets calls, and Ricky Heaven (probably spelled wrong) tomorrow, from what my son said!!!

Comment by Brenda72 on August 22, 2011 at 11:23am: ok thanks

Comment by trapier on August 22, 2011 at 11:17am: Brenda-I am sending my SR a box today. Her RDC said she would keep it and give it to her on Friday for graduation. I am sending her a box UPS today.

Comment by caylex 9/279 on August 22, 2011 at 10:41am: I do remember reading, possibly in the form letter, that mail takes the same time whether it is first class or express ... I hope that isn't true for UPS.
