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 SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 26, 2010 at 10:12pm: The Captains Cup is like a track meet, with lots of school (divisions) competing against each other for the "cup" (flag). It's all for fun, it lets them run off steam and they actually really do look forward to this friendly competition. For some, it's the first time they really get to interact with the other divisions in their grad group (it's one of the few things that is not "graded").

Comment by JOSHUAKEITH on July 26, 2010 at 9:51pm: TO EARN FLAGS.

Comment by JOSHUAKEITH on July 26, 2010 at 9:45pm: SAILORMANN'S MOM; FROM WHAT MY SON TOLD ME THE CAPTAIN'S CUP WAS A COMPETITION BETWEEN THE DIVISIONS.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 26, 2010 at 9:39pm: lansmom - if your recruit did not order you a DVD, you can order one later (and you'll want to!). Do not feel guilty, this economy sucks and sometimes it's other reasons too, but I'm sure the wonderful ladies on this site will post LOTS of pics when they return!

Comment by sailormann's mom on July 26, 2010 at 9:35pm: I see several posts referring to the Captain's Cup. Sorry, but I am a true Civilian, can someone please explain what this? Thanks.....

Comment by alma02453 on July 26, 2010 at 9:02pm: lansmom, I am sorry that you will not be able to go to PIR. I know how sad you must feel. Up till today, I was still not sure if I could go. My daughter is finally able to take the drive with me from Mass. My Danny is a twin and wanted his brother there, but he wont be able to attend. Hope our Div does well and we get those calls tomorrow.

Comment by JOSHUAKEITH on July 26, 2010 at 8:40pm: I KNOW SHIP 12 DIV 259 WON THE CAPTAINS CUP. I GOT A PHONE CALL YESTERDAY. A WHOLE 30 MINUTES. PRICELESS.

Comment by Iansmom on July 26, 2010 at 8:05pm: I have followed y'all since they day my son left. He is in ship 10 division 256 and I just to say that reading y'alls comments has kept me sane. Not knowing is the hardest thing to endure. They'realmost there. Just hoping somebody from their division will know something soon.Sure wish I could be there for pir, but am unable to attend. Hope he gets me a dvd!!

Comment by alma02453 on July 26, 2010 at 5:55pm: Oh God! I have been on pins and needles all day. Waiting for that call from Danny. (ship 10 Div 256).
