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 Regina1959 Ship 4 Div 805 on January 20, 2010 at 6:03pm: FYI. Go to herosalute.com and sign up for free tickets to any Anheuser Busch theme park which includes Sea World. Military gets 1 free ticket and up to 3 free tickets for dependants with military ID's. Great way to plan a special welcome home trip when your loved one gets liberty. There are lots of discounts offered to military. I use www.military.com which sends email alerts.

Comment by Debbie on January 20, 2010 at 3:42pm: That is a great option but our family is coming from all over ( CA to Maine )!!

Comment by Debbie on January 20, 2010 at 2:44pm: I booked my tickets on Southwest (non-refundable) because historically they have always been the easiest to work with if I had to make a change.

Comment by Debbie on January 19, 2010 at 5:20pm: hey thanks for the info

Comment by Debbie on January 19, 2010 at 4:01pm: Anybody Ship 7 Div 106?

Comment by Debbie on January 19, 2010 at 4:00pm: Hi - I was advised to keep my son on our insurance until he leaves for BC. That said - I have not done that yet!! But plan to do so at the end of this month

Comment by momofthree on January 19, 2010 at 3:02pm: Becka my son is on ship 07 Div. 105 and his PIR is on Feb. 26. I would go with the form letter before I go by what the recruiter has to say. I talked to another recruiter and he said that once on son/daughter is in bootcamp the recruiter is really done with his job.

Comment by becka on January 19, 2010 at 12:29pm: I thought the same Denise only on Fri ,,,cudawn have you spoke with recruiter ...it just has me all messed up I can barely afford to make the trip and to make to sets of plans means a no go for me ...just upsets me recruiter calls and says one thing and letter says another
