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 Jophers(Jo- Cameron's mom) on August 5, 2010 at 2:37am: Trishar- I have come to relay on Thursday for my letters just like you and Wednesdays. I don't know what I will do today if I don't get one. Cameron is in Casey's div so I will let you know whats going on if I get any decent info. Back at work for 7 nights in a row so I will be on even less than before and at odd hours too but 7 nights on go so quickly and then yipee another week will have passed.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on August 5, 2010 at 1:03am: My son said going through the gas chamber actually helped clear out his sinus', so he liked the end results. He said it wasn't really that bad, but as a mom, it sounds simply horrible.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 5, 2010 at 1:00am: Ooo yea Ooo wasn't sure thank you

Comment by TxNavyMomWifeCPO(Ship6Div941) on August 5, 2010 at 12:22am: Its called tear gas! And its all part of the training. They will be okay every sailor before them has done this ;-)

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 4, 2010 at 11:58pm: You welcome and yes i will be praying to.

Comment by KJ's MOM, Ken's Proud Mom, Cathy on August 4, 2010 at 11:10pm: Thank you Kristina. So on 17th they need lots of prayers. They'll get through. Have to stay positive.

Comment by KristinaR(Divison 285) on August 4, 2010 at 11:05pm: kJ- they go in as a row and have to take off their mask in a chamber and say their name and social number while breathing in somethin that stinks and makes you want to puke.
