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 6, 2011 at 10:38pm: I don't have a military boyfriend anymore...But there might be a future with me and someone from my dep..he and i are kinda just taking things slow, but he is going to my sadies dance with me(: & wants to take me out after our dep meeting tuesday. he's a real gentleman. he leaves for basic in june..so i'd be starting all over, but we'll see.

I completely understand TS25. My best friend complains that her boyfriend has to help his dad sometimes & theydon't get to see eachother...but really. some of you ladies,and i myself went through not seeing mine and yours for drawn out periods of time. they just don't understand exactly what we all go/went through..and it's kind of annoying, honestly. that they complain about all of that.

Comment by LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on February 6, 2011 at 10:27pm: T-S25, i know how you feel! i go one facebook and i see girls all complaining on their statuses about their bf having to go out of town for a weekend or whatever and i just what to write stuff on their statuses that that's definately not as bad. I was talking with some of my mom's friends tonight and they were laughing like im crazy that i get so excited about a letter. and none of them understand the feeling. it sucks.

When this group started it was SO small & I kinda figured it wouldn't go ANYWHERE. I'm just glad you're all here to share expierances !:)

Comment by LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on January 29, 2011 at 3:34pm: I'm doing Operation Sweetheart today! I didnt know about it until this morning when i saw your link, NavyGFAulbree, but i love it! what a beautiful idea!!

Comment by LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on January 28, 2011 at 11:18pm: It will, I am keeping the hope! I know he's okay. Or at least i think he is anyway lol. He has no choice but to do what he's told though so who knows haha :)

Comment by StaceyW (MM Nuke Girlfriend) on January 28, 2011 at 10:21pm: Well it's coming :) I know exactly what you mean about even if it was 30 seconds...or less...just hearing his voice...and hearing him say "i love you" and knowing that he is ok, that's what truly matters :) Just know that your phone call and letter is coming, Liv! :)

Comment by LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on January 28, 2011 at 9:00pm: Yes, getting a phone call will be amazing! A week before he left for basic, he was in Virginia for 20 days and I loved when he called me while he was away . I would love to hear his voice even if it's just for a short 30 seconds!
