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 RicksWifeAmber on February 16, 2010 at 4:38pm
Colleen their divisions are co-ed. My husband and Gspen's wife are both 7/105
Also I am going to send my last letter tomorrow. Doubt they will have any time next week anyway.
Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 16, 2010 at 4:08pm
Well, I am off the the post office to send a good luck card and I hope she gets it. I have one more to send and I will send that on Thursday. I hope they get them. I have asked in 5 or 6 letters but my wife doesn't really answer my questions so I don't know if they get them after they leave or how long it takes for our letters to get to them.

I think everybody should call the PAO and see what is going on. That way if more people call they will decide to post info for us or at the very least tell recruits in the future to tell their loved ones what is going on!

CALL PEOPLE!! The worst they can say is they cannot tell you the info. They told me so they should be able to tell you as well. Just be pleasant and tell them you are trying to plan how long to stay in Chicago.

the number for those of you who do not have it
847-688-2405
Comment by Gman Navy Husband on February 16, 2010 at 2:47pm
well, some interesting news today. I called the PAO just now and the lady was very helpful over the phone.
She couldn't help me with the DEERS packet, she said I would have to talk with my wife about that. Ok, I care less about that now because of the other news she did give me.
Here goes, I asked, if my wife was Grad and Go. Her answer, "there is no more grad and go's" I asked if she could tell me when my wife was leaving and she said, "what division is she in again?" I replied, "105." Answer from PAO, "that division leaves on March 3rd."

So, if you want to know what is going to happen with your spouse or child I would call and ask.

Also, if you have a spouse or child in div 105 call and confirm this for me please. I want to be sure I heard her correctly.

One step closer, now I just want to know if I can be with her while she waits to leave. Any ideas where I can find that out?
