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 momoffour(Ship 11 div 119) on March 19, 2010 at 3:38am: Can someone help me figure out how to address to my son. I know BC was very specific. My son gave me a building and room number, also a Roberts ave. He' not a Recruit anymore so do I just put his name now? Thanks so much!

Comment by Arwen on March 19, 2010 at 12:21am: He has his civvies now, they FINALLY made it. I laughed so hard at how excited he was about "real" underwear.

Comment by juni on March 17, 2010 at 6:22pm: Arwen, the NEX had an additional 50% off clearance merchandise. He could pick up some civvies real cheap. I got tons of t-shirts for $3-$5 a week or so ago.

Comment by Arwen on March 16, 2010 at 12:14pm: Chris finished the one-day IT A indoc yesterday and began class today.

Comment by Arwen on March 15, 2010 at 11:20am: Chris is really into engineering and mechanics, he's constantly coming up with all kinds of ideas about "extreme machines" and extreme buildings. I always figured he'd eventually go to engineering school and build something amazing.

So one day we were on our way to firefighter training (he was a volunteer firefighter) and he started talking about the concept of a submersible aircraft carrier.

Here's the conversation that followed:

Me: Been done
Chris: No, I mean a real one, that can actually launch planes
Me: Yeah, a real one, the Japanese did it in WWII
Chris: No, I mean one that they can actually launch real planes with pilots, not remote control things
Me: Yeah, the Japanese did that in WWII and had two submersible carriers that had pilots and planes and everything
Chris: No, I mean one you can actually use in a war and all that, not just an experimental thing
Me: Yeah, and they bombed Brookings (the small Oregon town where we currently live)
Chris: !?!?!?! (looks at me as if I had two heads)
Me: Yeah, and the pilot came back and presented Brookings with his 400 year old family Samurai sword in apology
Chris: Yeah, right...

(a few minutes later, walking into the firefighter meeting, to the other firefighters)

Chris: (looking for a laugh) My mom says Japan bombed Brookings using an submersible aircraft carrier
Fellow firefighters: Yeah, and....?
Chris: !?!?!?!

Comment by Arwen on March 13, 2010 at 8:08pm: LOL, I don't know what it is about the post office, Chris got really excited about the possibility of going there last week, not to get something, but just to go. Maybe it's just having a destination, rather than wandering, which is all he seems to be doing right now.

Comment by Arwen on March 13, 2010 at 4:24pm: Good morning everyone! Chris called me this morning, feeling sorry for himself. He wants to go out and do something, but won't leave base (He's Phase II, he could if he wanted to) until he has his civilian clothes, which I shipped last week by the cheapest (and probably slowest) method we could. I told him to go to the NEX and buy something simple, even just a t-shirt and swimsuit to go to the beach, but he refuses to even consider it. Silly boy!

Comment by Arwen on March 12, 2010 at 9:13pm: I dreamed of Chris last night. In the dream I and a lot of other parents were taking a tour of Chris' ship and we were given uniforms to try on (somehow mine had a mini skirt). Before we could take them off there was a surprise inspection and we ended up in it. The inspecting officer was freaked out because we were all fat and old.

Comment by juni on March 11, 2010 at 11:27pm: Anyone's son attend a Hail and Farewell today?

Comment by juni on March 11, 2010 at 11:24pm: ACE will go through the courses taken any time during his career and make a recommendation on what those classes would equate to. The fees would depend on what the school charges to review transcripts. He can ask his instructors, Chief, and Navy College.
