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 Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 8:51pm: I know! I was watching tv last night and that preview for dear john came on and I actually kind of sobbed out loud.....yikes!!

Comment by Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 8:33pm: The tears!!! I cry at just about anything these days.....

Comment by Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 8:15pm: I am not feeling sad...or happy....probably not feeling anything. I find myself sort of in limbo...just waiting for the next month to pass.

Comment by dreams on January 21, 2010 at 7:59pm: AMEN on getting a letter!

Comment by dreams on January 21, 2010 at 7:29pm: Thank you cudawn! I just read it .... and thank goodness I have a blue candle so it's burning now! ...and somehow I feel better...thank you :)

Comment by dreams on January 21, 2010 at 7:16pm: Just got home...and NO letter! Bummer! Oh well, just gotta keep writing and waiting.... something to get used to in this Navy life...........Thanks for all the birthday wishes - We will be celebrating graduation and his birthday together also. One thing to remember about our guys and gals not being home for special events ---they go in harm's way to defend our rights and freedom to enjoy "special events".... and when we finally get to hold them in our arms that moment will be a real "special event"... Really missing him tonight tho....

Comment by Debbie on January 21, 2010 at 7:00pm: Hey Ladies - my son is Ship7 Div106, going to Monterey for A school. Anybody else?

Comment by Regina1959 Ship 4 Div 805 on January 21, 2010 at 6:54pm: My husband called and said he got 2 letters from Derrick, dated Jan 12th & Jan 17th. Mike is so excited to hear from him. I guess I'll get to read them when I get home. Thanks, BitterSweetMomma for letting me know about the Ramada. I didn't want to take a chance so I got a room at the Navy Lodge for Feb 25-Mar 1 that way if Derrick gets to take liberty on Saturday and Sunday we won't have to scramble to find a room. I can always cancel the extra rooms if he has to Grad & Go.

Comment by dreams on January 21, 2010 at 4:49pm: I am getting so excited! Just booked the Residence Inn! I got my first letter last Thursday so I'm hoping I'll get one today too. Today is my son's BDay ! I really miss him but know that he's where he should be - doing what he's been working so hard for.. Hope we ALL get letters soon!
