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 24, 2010 at 12:14pm: After BS 21 calls can come from 8:00AM to 2:00PM +! There have been different experiences. Mine came at 10:14 AM. You will hear those tired voices soon. ~ : ) ~ kk

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 24, 2010 at 12:12pm: Dildraa, are you kidding me?? They haven't let you know yet?? I am sorry to hear that. I hope that he makes it. I am almost sure he doesn't want to spend any extra time there than need be.

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 24, 2010 at 11:41am: dildraa, I'll bring it but she won't use it. All she cares about is me and her parents coming. Neither one of us are big on the texting and all that. She would more than likely like to get on FB before calling people. I think if she calls anybody it would be her g-ma and aunt.

I am going to wait until tomorrow morning to leave. I still haven't decided if I am going to wait until she calls or just leave early. I have a couple of errands in Chicago so I may just leave at dawn. I have a short drive, it is only 250 miles for me.

I feel really bad that a lot of you have to drive so damn far!

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on February 24, 2010 at 11:25am: Has anyone gotten a call??
hi Jordan's Mom...do you know about the meet and greet tomorrow at the Ramada from 6-8

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 24, 2010 at 11:23am: Welcome Jordan's Mom! Sorry to hear you just found us!! This group has been a life saver!

Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 24, 2010 at 11:00am: cudawn Ship 07 Div 103, I am referring to a cell for her. She said not to bring hers because she doesn't want any trouble.

Comment by dreams on February 24, 2010 at 10:52am: Good morning & safe travels to those starting the journey today.

I was just thinking this morning about my son's and my last hug....and that I'm going to be hugging that guy again in just hours...!!!!!!! I am so teary today - and I know it's just anticipation of seeing him - and also of seeing ALL of them! These past few weeks with all of you have personified all the "others" that are with my son in BC. I can't wait to see all the hugging and loving going on SOON !!!!

Comment by Debbie on February 24, 2010 at 10:17am: Good Morning All,
Please drive safely!! And good luck to all sailors today!!! Any calls yet??

Talked to mom-in-law yesterday and seems MD is getting hit with some pretty serious snow soooo I will bet that she will be delayed flying in......therefore I am sort of not sure if we will make the late Meet n Greet. Please wear your ribbons on friday as I will be looking for all of you! Thanks again for your support, humor, and thoughtful conversation - it has been a godsend.

Comment by RicksWifeAmber on February 24, 2010 at 10:01am: Monica YEAH you are getting out on time woohoo!
