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 Jana on August 20, 2011 at 2:34pm: 941 won the integrated division and 277 won the all male division...don't know about best chant

Comment by Debera1952 (SR Kyles Mom) on August 20, 2011 at 2:30pm: I know this is a week early but this is for all who have someone they love graduating 8/26 congratulatons.

He was born to a family of Patriots on January 25, 1989

The family fought in all from the Revolutionary War.

Our Son is a proud child of generations gone by.

Impressed by the loss of many on September 2001 he heard his Country cry.

We taught him and showed him his heritage of the greats from Lafayette to Washington coming from roots of Sicily and Scotland the Brave.

Therefore, our legacy to the United States we give to you all. Our baby boy, our son who is a United States Sailor and he is standing tall.

We promise you he will do his best that is what is in his strive. So, sleep well America our babies are at your side.

Comment by Navy_wife_in_training92 on August 20, 2011 at 2:25pm: What did they win? They have integrated div, all male, all female and best chant...

Comment by trapier on August 20, 2011 at 2:17pm: I am on the phone with my SR....Div 941 won Captain's Cup!!! YAYYYY

Comment by SailorBrittysMom on August 20, 2011 at 2:14pm: Caylex, we sponsor the pro bass tour! Do you guys come to calif? Last year we were there at the "Clear Lake fishing event"

Comment by SailorBrittysMom on August 20, 2011 at 2:11pm: Wow, that video was amazing! My son (20 yrs old) say why are you crying now?

I'm just so proud so excited so amazed that my little girl has really stuck it out she's said she was dedicated and now she proved it!

I can't wait for her phone call!

Comment by diannep on August 20, 2011 at 1:15pm: Yes, I was crying during the video too...had just put on my eye makeup...obviously was not waterproof!

I boohooed during the entire PIR for my son...quite embarrassing that I couldn't GET A GRIP! HAPPY AND PROUD TEARS! Just you wait and see!

For those of you worried that some divisions may not be "coming together" from what your SRs are saying...watch the video. See what I mean? Some of those divisions reported the same problem...does it look that way to you? They look mighty fine to me! The RDCs do a wonderful job! HOOYAH!

Comment by diannep on August 20, 2011 at 1:12pm: Can those of you in 279/280 pm me the last date your were told by your SR for BattleStations? I have not been notified by anyone of a change from what I was originally told by some of you....but ironically, looks like a couple of divisions from the next PIR group would be going that same night. Unusual to mix the PIR groups like that---although the next one is a Thurs PIR group which means they are pushed for time...there is room for 279/280 to go the night before.

So...if anyone gets phone calls or letters this weekend, please reconfirm dates by pm to me. Thanks! Remember, please do not post the date on this board...pm the group or me, please. Thanks!
