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 hismomdeeship7div103 on February 11, 2010 at 11:31pm: My son is going to Meridian Miss for A school

Comment by crystaldj1972 6/915 on February 11, 2010 at 9:27pm: Good Job 103!!! I am starting to have some fears for our division 915. My son still doesnt like his division, says there are too many people trying to be social and they dont work together at all. It makes me very scared for battlestations.....

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on February 11, 2010 at 9:05pm: Wow that is exciting news about ship 7 div 103! I am hoping to get a letter tomorrow. It is great to hear they are working together as a team, I was getting worried. Thanks so much for sharing, Angel!

Comment by MamaBear kk on February 11, 2010 at 5:29pm: deanneCA ~ Their departure time from GL to Pensacola can vary. Some, like my son was on a military charter - best way as their were so many with heavy sea bags - I guess. He left the Tuesday after PIR in the wee hours. Some leave via commercial airline in smaller groups. Your son will be going with Sailors goign to Corry Station nd NAS - so they usually have a good size group to travel with. By recent time frames - they are usually gone by the Tuesday following, or shortly after, PIR weekend. They want to get them to their P'cola processing during the week AND make room for more SRs entering GL RTC. ~ : )
