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 Heart Broken on July 19, 2010 at 11:11pm: HI there RNnavywife, I think green is great for DIV 254. We have lots of green clothing in our house since we are cheese heads. I don't see many people posting on here from DIV254. We are making ribbons also. My sons Girlfriend/fiance and I will be picking up some stuff to make them this week and I bought some Navy blue OPI polish and will be painting our nails b4 we go. Blue nails, white tip french with gold stars. Something different. I am a cosmetologist so I am always doing something wild like that. I got my hair colred and cut today, but not too wild.

Comment by RNnavywife(ship10 div254) on July 19, 2010 at 11:02pm: Susan-Andrewsmom, I am the same way, I'm not on here a whole lot so I miss things too, lol. I messaged Juliesiouxcity about the ribbon, thank you! We can wear a colored shirt, I don't know if anyone mentioned it. I haven't seen anyone else in our division posting lately so I don't even know if it would matter, especially if we're the only two that do it :) What about green? Let me know. Any others from Div 254?? Where are you? :o)

Comment by Denise Bauchens on July 19, 2010 at 10:26pm: Can anyone tell me if div 253 is grad and go

Comment by Jaz04 on July 19, 2010 at 8:48pm: thanks Jessica, I have been a little preoccupied. And thank you to all you ladies for letting me vent/sulk about not getting mail. Sorry to have been a whiner. I just wanted to hear some good news. You ALL kept me very informed and I really appreciate it!

Comment by Jaz04 on July 19, 2010 at 8:37pm: How foolish of me to forget to ask if he had ordered pictures.

Comment by Susan-Andrewsmom on July 19, 2010 at 8:24pm: Are we as a division planning any special color shirts for meet and greet. I've noticed some divisions have chosen colors, red, blue and I think yellow is what I have seen so far.

RNnavywife: Juliesiouxcity was making ribbons for any one who wanted one. She just wanted last name and division #. I have asked her to make me one don't think anyone from this division was doing anything else. I only get on here once in awhile so I may have missed something.

Comment by RNnavywife(ship10 div254) on July 19, 2010 at 8:14pm: Ship 10 Div 254, are we doing different ribbons too? I haven't been on here all weekend so I didn't know if anyone had decided. Let me know :o)

Comment by jadegreen67 on July 19, 2010 at 6:54pm: Does anyon know If he can accept a cell phone, and Lap top. He is part of the Grad and Go....Also, am I suppose to bring a suitcase with clothes for him since he is leaving for Texas the next day? Havent heard from My son since July 5. I am sure a letter is on the way with details. Do I have to order the Video or did the recruits do that already.. Thank you... Darci

Comment by navymom21 on July 19, 2010 at 5:24pm: Thank-you

Comment by navymom21 on July 19, 2010 at 5:18pm: Does anyone know what the picture packages include? I know my recruit said he purchased package A but I wanted to know exactly what was included in it....
