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 Kac46047 on August 1, 2011 at 12:49pm: When they first adjust to a school its hard, theres new fredom etc but also a lot of homework. My husband ended up making time for me the same time everynight, we would also text after school. He was a stickler for rules and never took his phone to class, even though a lot of the other sailors did and would be on facebook all day. I was very greatfull for the time that he set aside for me, made me feel good especially on the days he went out to the bar or out with other sailors.

Comment by Lyndsi on August 1, 2011 at 12:12pm: well i guess will start to try and get use to the fact that they cant talk all the time! i know that is going to be the hardest part, but do you at least get to talk to him once every day? also the dog tags sound super cute (of course i now have to get them lol) :)

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 31, 2011 at 9:40pm: haha i tried it on and was like...yep...i have no pants! awesome! lol

Comment by abuon18 on July 31, 2011 at 9:34pm: That dog tag sounds really cute! Yeah a 2xl would be like a hoodie dress on me!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 31, 2011 at 8:34pm: Awesome, I really DON'T want hot weather, cool is nice:) he has to get me a navy gf hoodie anyways. all they had were shirts at the nex...and 2xl hoodies..which drowns me. i found a dog tag there that is pewter and says "I belong to a sailor" with an anchor and eagle on the back. It's mega cute, and i'll be wearing it allll the time, until he gets a new set of tags made. since they misprinted his in the first place!

Comment by abuon18 on July 31, 2011 at 8:24pm: At least you're planning a visit soon and you have that to look forward to! Charleston's weather will be a bit cool but still beautiful, just about perfect that time of year & there's a lot to do!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 31, 2011 at 8:19pm: It was tough, I just got to talk to him on the phone, he added alllll of our photos to his 'cabinet' down in charleston, it made me smile. super cute. i miss him a lot and the only rough part is that he has his phone, but not yet have i realized he stil cannot talk consistantly as we used to. i should be able to see him the first week of sept. but we may push it to the 2nd week of october so he has overnight.

Comment by abuon18 on July 31, 2011 at 3:26pm: Did he love your t-shirt?

Comment by abuon18 on July 31, 2011 at 3:26pm: I'm happy you were able to spend time with him at the airport! And now that he's out of boot camp he'll be able to call, you made it through the hard part!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on July 31, 2011 at 3:23pm: Had friday with my sailor, and spent all day at the airport saturday...im really shaken up and miss him alot, so i wont be on a whole lot until i'm stable again...this is tough. very nice weekend though.
