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 tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on August 12, 2010 at 5:14pm: djloch- I hear ya I am doing the same. If my phone does ring it'll prolly scare me to death! I am so worked up about this call.

Comment by m'smom on August 12, 2010 at 5:12pm: Division 286 is brother division to 285. So I would think that 286 schedule would be similar to 285. Can anyone confirm??

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on August 12, 2010 at 5:10pm: Same here. I told Eryn we would go to Sunday Mass with her, but then we have to head back to Chicago to catch the train which leaves a 1345(1:45 pm) Sunday afternoon.

Comment by CRUISES72 on August 12, 2010 at 4:55pm: Anyone heard anything about div 286? Anything??

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on August 12, 2010 at 4:51pm: tnpromised-- Im watching the phone like a hawk!! Everyone at work can tell it must be call time cause Ive got it glued to me and every time it rings everybody stops and looks and then I shake my head no :( ...

Comment by djloch (Zac's Mom) on August 12, 2010 at 4:49pm: shannon-- we are sightseeing and leaving sunday around lunch

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 12, 2010 at 4:48pm: when are we suppose to get phone calls?

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 12, 2010 at 4:37pm: hey ladies, was running errands all day to get ready to leave sunday to Tx. I know i am not suppose to do heavy lifting but it is just me. Reconfirm battlestations 21 is on the 24 to the 25? I guess all my letters are being sent to TX already. I am going to mail 5 tomorrow and 5 saturday so he can have to open each day after. Thanks for that idea.

Comment by NukeMom/MM/USSMichigan on August 12, 2010 at 4:36pm: We are sightseeing and leaving early Sun morning.

Comment by shannong1268 (CVN 77) on August 12, 2010 at 4:24pm: OK, since it seems that all of our Sailors are G&G, Im rethinking my departure, I can change it within 24 hrs with no fees, I think I may just leave on Sat instead of spending another night in a hotel and then dinners, sightseeing ect..what are you guys doing in light of the G&G situation???
