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 arossi ship 07/ div 110 <3 on March 31, 2011 at 8:43am: hello ladies... i am new to this group.. my husband just got to san antonio this week and starts classes on monday. i was wondering if any one has gone to visit their sailors and which week would be the best to go. i am planning on just going for the weekend but i dont want to go a week they have a lot of tests cuz i want him to have time to study. Any help would be awesome.

Also i hope everyone is having luck today with getting their orders!

Comment by jennnyj on March 30, 2011 at 4:34pm: yeah he also told me today that they should be here friday but hopes its not an april fools joke!!

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on March 30, 2011 at 4:31pm: My son said that orders will come down Friday at the earliest, but it could also be later. He seemed to think they were waiting for the budget to be passed in DC.

Comment by jennnyj on March 30, 2011 at 11:26am: yeah my fiance told me last night that a bunch of the guys in the class before him are going to guam. now just to wait for his orders..

Comment by mom2zwr on March 30, 2011 at 11:23am: My son graduates on 4/8 and was supposed to go to Japan but got his orders changed to Guam. One other guy was to go to Japan and is also going to Guam.

Comment by MountainMama(ship3 div081) on March 30, 2011 at 11:10am: The AFROTC sgt at my school said they were told that they would be paid on the first, so that should mean our sailors will also get paid. I don't know if that has anything to do with orders coming down or not. I sure hope so! My son is supposed to find out today, but the class ahead of him still doesn't know, so I'm not hopeful that we'll find out anything today. But, maybe we'll be pleasantly surprised!
