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 Sam0618 on August 7, 2010 at 2:31pm: hope all is well with everybody! i know its been a while since i posted but ive been working a ton since my hubby isnt here to help pay our bills! i finally got 2 letters from him explaining what was going on with his job reclassification issue. he was offered cook, clerk, machinist mate, and striker (do 8 diff jobs and pick the best one). he was like that is it? lol so the guy told him to come back on monday (aug 2) and he would have more to offer. he also said that i was right, he needs to stay in and finish. lol i was truely scared and thought he was coming home, from his letters it sounded that way. but my new letters, he sounds so much better and more confident. he said he didnt realize how smart he was until he started applying himself, his div is coming together, and his div is going to shoot for hall of fame. whatever that is? im so happy to read all of your posts, even though my hubby is in div 286, its still nice to hear what is going on around him. those who have recruits in div 286, have you heard anything new?

Comment by Charlie's Desertmom on August 7, 2010 at 2:29pm: tnpromised..thanks for the video...of course i cried... again

Comment by trisha on August 7, 2010 at 12:28pm: Division 941 has 79 SR's now

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on August 7, 2010 at 12:06pm: My daughter will be carrying the Louisiana State Flag at the upcoming PIR. She was on the dance team in high school, so I believe that is why she made into 941. Coming from a military family she also knows how to march :-)

Comment by Sylvia*Cali-mom on August 7, 2010 at 11:56am: Gorgeous Rainbow!! Thanks for posting! Can't wait to see video of Div.941 playing their instruments. Even though my kid is in div.285, I feel div.941 are sort of mine kids now too! lol

Comment by Sylvia*Cali-mom on August 7, 2010 at 11:54am: Is ALL of Div.941 performing in PIR on 8/13/10? From the YouTube graduation videos it seems like just a handful of band members playing instruments. Exactly how many are in Div.941 anyway? Are they all pretty much musical people?

Comment by tnpromised Div 285 PIR 08/27/10 on August 7, 2010 at 11:52am: beautiful!!

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on August 7, 2010 at 11:48am: Here is that rainbow I was talking about. The photo does not do it justice. Everyone have a great weekend.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 7, 2010 at 11:02am: HOOOPPPEEEE So. I think we are all due for one. It calms me down a lot just to hear him.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 7, 2010 at 10:35am: Good morning everyone. Its raining now. Just started. I hope we can get a call soon. Happy 941 is working well with each other.
