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 LivFutureSailor(Ship 12 Div 099) on January 18, 2011 at 1:19am: SailorsLove- Thats what i'm nervous about, that we'll become distant. before he left for boot he was in VA for 20 days then we had a week together before he left so we know how it is being away from each other but my recrutier did say that people change in boot camp. We both made promises to each other before though to stay faithful to each other and make it through tough times.

Nicol lee- What rate do you want to get? have you been to MEPS yet?

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on January 18, 2011 at 12:08am: sara - i'm doing really well! can't believe the year is almost over already!(school year)

regina - welcome to the group, but to find specific ships & divisions you will have to search that ship/division group, or may have to make one. welcome aboard! ask as many questions as needed.

sailorslove - yes, my ex was VERY distant, it's something i think they all go through, and it does last awhile usually..but stick it out, it will be okay!!! i think it's just that they've been away for 2 months for the first time..it's kinda a culture shock, y'know?!

Comment by SailorsLove11310(GibsonsGF) on January 17, 2011 at 9:34pm: my man graduated basic on friday.

He was acting really distant, I talked to him about it.

He later told me I'm his world & he loves me a ton & that he's sorry that he doesn't show it as well anymore.

I love him regardless, but did anyone's guy act like this after basic?

I loved spending the weekend with him, but saying goodbye yesterday was SOOO hard. I can't seem to stop crying :/

Comment by Sara on January 17, 2011 at 5:44pm: Nicole- he's doing good. he had to get vaccinations on friday so that was quite the ordeal, but all is well now :) how are you doing?!
