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 nicole~a sailors girl(: on February 11, 2011 at 7:41pm: it's too keep em' focused..sometimes they do that like right before BS21.(battlestations) to keep them on their A game..incase something bad were to come in a letter & get them down i assume.

Comment by LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on February 11, 2011 at 6:42pm: oh okay. i wonder why they couldnt just get their mail after practice.

Comment by StaceyW (MM Nuke Girlfriend) on February 11, 2011 at 6:01pm: Nope. His DIV has been having to practice in the drill hall during the time that they are allowed to get their letters. They're having to practice their routine for graduation. He did say that they were having trouble getting some letters out due to the snow.

Comment by LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on February 11, 2011 at 5:53pm: haha cute!! i would have so much trouble not laughing!

Glad you got a letter Stacey and hope your SR gets his letters asap! Why couldnt they get their letters? snow?

Comment by StaceyW (MM Nuke Girlfriend) on February 11, 2011 at 5:17pm: aww that's so cute lol good luck with him meeting the family! I'm sure it'll go great!

I just got my sixth letter yesterday! My Sailor is doing great, only three more weeks until his PIR!! His Div wasn't able to get their mail Thursday-Sunday, they were supposed to finally get all of their mail Monday morning, I really hope they did. In his letter he seemed like he was having a bit of a rough time, he's still his normal, funny self, but it was like he just wanted to come home, I wish I could give him a big hug and kiss! I think it's just from the lack of letters, which is his support from home, not to mention he thinks he might have the flu. I just hope the letters helped cheer him up :)

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on February 11, 2011 at 9:14am: Its so wonderful, graduation is!:) hang tight! ALMOST THERE!

He makes silly faces at me during dep sometimes, and I start laughing and have to hide it before everyone is likke whaaattt are you laughing about?!

Comment by LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on February 10, 2011 at 11:01pm: omg that's so cute!! my boyfriend and i would sit next to each other at DEP and every once in a while he would like nudge me with his foot (but no one coud tell but me of course) and it was so cute! but we didnt act all like googly eyed at each other and stuff. lol that would not be good! good luck with your man meeting the family, hope it goes well! :)

only four more weeks til i get to see my man graduate as a Sailor! :D

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on February 10, 2011 at 9:26pm: Nicole! so excited for you! give us the meet the family details! I'm just wedding planning here!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on February 10, 2011 at 8:30pm: Yes yes, always keep it professional. We show no interest in eachother during DEP. We believe keeping the two seperate because of chiefs hassaling..it would be best to keep it seperate and not tell them! i got to see him tonight & kissed him for the first time..tomorrow he meets the family.....OH MY!

Thanks girls!:)

Hows your lives with your babes?!
