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 December 16, 2010 at 11:01pm: So..I ended up seeing C tonight as well. Ha. We ended up both being at the mall. He was with a female friend of his(NOT GIRL FRIEND, just female friend) and I met up with them, and I think she has a minor crush or something. Because when I saw him I just walked in and said Hi, and he goes..what, aren't gonna hug me? & I was like..jeeez. I was gettin to it. Then we left that store that I met them in and I hadda walk to the other end and I was like..C walk with me! & He said okay, we walked side by side....but she walked behind us? I even slowed down so she could catch up..she just walked behind us..I was likeee..okkkkaaaaayyy then! Then I mentioned him coming over tomorrow, asked what time and stuff. & He said well...i'll just pick you up from school, then she glared at me....HOW CUTE. I reallyyyyyyyy think it's dumb when girls cause a biiiggg huuuuuuge scene and try to cause it in a suttle way..

Comment by Britt Ship 09 Div 071 on December 16, 2010 at 9:03pm: i have a estimated date... we havent gotten the letter yet

Comment by Britt Ship 09 Div 071 on December 16, 2010 at 8:56pm: oh i started writing when he left Monday. Im doing it journal style that way i can keep my thoughts straight and he has a better chance of understanding me. Are there any other girls on here who have boyfriends that just left this week?

Comment by CharitySailor'sWife2B on December 16, 2010 at 8:34pm: By leaving he would go into the hole because he would use up more of his leave than he has alloted.

Comment by CharitySailor'sWife2B on December 16, 2010 at 7:33pm: He hasnt used any.

Comment by CharitySailor'sWife2B on December 16, 2010 at 7:25pm: So Joe texted me and said that he has to talk to his yeoman to see If he will be able to leave to come home tomorrow (he was planning to take a bus and arrive at 0645 on Saturday morning). Because technically reservists cant go in "the hole" for leave.

He is FTS-Full time support which is essentially the same as active duty but you stay in each location longer- and would be able to make it up, but isnt under the impression that he is even allowed to go in the red/in the hole.

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on December 16, 2010 at 7:06pm: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH,

KATEEEEE!:) I'M SOOOOOOO FRIGGIN HAPPY FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Christian is home right now, until the 28th. So he's coming over tomorrow. I also saw him on my BDAY, which..y'know, rekindled some things. We'll see where it takes us. EEEEEP!

Comment by Corie on December 16, 2010 at 7:05pm: Kate Congrats so excited for you. I am so happy for all the girls that get to see their sailors and to the ones that don't hang in there we are here for you!!
