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 MamaBear kk on February 26, 2010 at 9:41pm: dreams ship04 div805 ~ Unless it has changed since November. Yes ~ you will drive through the security area with your "pass" and park - where you will meet you Sailor. You can enter Friday ~ Saturday & Sunday. You can also use that pass to purchase at any of the NEX location when your Sailor is not with you. Tomorrow morning ~ watch and listen at 8:00 AM ~ be very quiet : ) ~ kk

Comment by dreams on February 26, 2010 at 6:17pm: We're back at our room enjoying the time together.... I have a question tho.. does our gate pass allow us to get on base the rest of the weekend to pick up and drop off our sailors? Or is the pass just good for today?

Loving life right now!!!!!

Comment by bahkmom09/86 on February 26, 2010 at 5:11pm: I was very impressed with how quickly we were processed in and were not standing in lines outside at all. The walk across the street to the drill hall was not bad either and the sidewalks were very clear. It was cold walking across, but Colleen you were right...hat, gloves, scarf and warm coat works wonders. I myself wore pants & a nice sweater and was fine. What an amazing ceremony!! I am so proud of my sailor.
