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 diannep on April 1, 2010 at 4:57pm: Gee, I wonder where Sharon and hubby will be spending their NEXT vacation????
Hmmmm....maybe in JAPAN? Congrats, Sharon! Enjoy his visit home!

Comment by maussie64 on April 1, 2010 at 12:38pm: I'm new here and my daughter won't be there until next month. But, sschick, did you say yours has a choice of duty stations?

Comment by sschick02_new navy wife on March 31, 2010 at 7:06pm: I agree with you navygf123! He is calling me a little later with his address and I am sending him a package on Friday (UPS is best, right?) He found out his choices for his duty station too. I love love the increase in communications - I know it may not be this way always but i sure am loving it now!

Comment by diannep on March 31, 2010 at 3:08pm: Ladies, please be in prayer for the missing sailor from the crashed plane off of the USS Eisenhower. Praise the Lord for the rescue of the other 3. May the number rescued be changed to 4 soon...

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on March 31, 2010 at 7:18am: The number to the Navy Lodge is 1-877-NAVY-BED. Then it will ask you the first 3 letters of the city which would be MER. The reservation has to be made in your sailors name and they will ask you their rank as well. I am driving so I will have my car with me.

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on March 30, 2010 at 8:12pm: SiaW, where are you from?

Comment by hismomdeeship7div103 on March 30, 2010 at 8:12pm: SiaW, I called the Navy Lodge and they said my son would have to meet me and escort me onto the base. We are not allowed on unless we have a military ID. His recruiter told me that once we get there and get checked in, we may be able to get a temporary pass to come and go for the weekend.

Comment by SiaW-Candice's mom on March 30, 2010 at 7:11pm: hismomdeeship7div103- I'll be staying there this weekend as well. Maybe we will be able to meet. Thank you for the info. My daughter had already set it up, however I had no idea what price range or how to go about getting to it. Being fresh out of BC I didn't know if I needed some sort of parking pass.
sschick02 Ship09 DIV134PIR MAR26- CONGRATULATIONS-Yes it is such an amazing difference being able to talk to her everynight. I Love It! Candice has been going to Liberty Hall and getting on line with her laptop as well. My daughter is aslo a SH. Her class is also 4 weeks long. She wasn't going to start school for a couple of weeks. However, she classed up last Friday (26th) and started school Monday (29th). The first couple of days she did watch and they showed her around the base. So far she loves it at least she said that it was so much better than BTC. LOL
Also she graduated March 19 arrived there on the 20th about 3:40PM and gave me her address on the 21st. I know thats alot of info but I hope I helped answer some of your questions.
