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 Tabitha on January 20, 2010 at 12:17am: Yes, I just got clarification on the instructors being "mean"!! LOL I told him I am very glad they are strict - they should be-guns are no laughing matter! Good luck to my hubby & all of the rest starting on alot of weapons training =)

Comment by Tabitha on January 19, 2010 at 6:15pm: Oh boy--Matt has had a rough day :( He said apparently they just changed rules on phasing up and he won't phase up until next week now and I guess his CPR instructors told him the weapons instructors are mean LOL So, he isn't looking forward to going to class tomorrow - I am thinking maybe these instructors are getting the students all worked up for nothing??!! I told him to shake it off and get his homework done :P HAHA How was the rest of our their days?

Comment by Tabitha on January 19, 2010 at 4:34pm: I know my hubby said it was about $30-$40/month for internet service so he wasn't interested in getting a laptop-I just added internet to his phone :)

Comment by Tabitha on January 19, 2010 at 10:33am: Good Luck to all of our sailors starting classes today or beginning week 2 :) I should hear today if Matt passed his JQR test he took on Sunday!

Comment by Tabitha on January 18, 2010 at 3:35pm: Hey Doreen:my hubby said he had 3 reflashes of the OC...OUCH! But he is much better now and is very glad week 1 is over! I hope all of our sailors do well in classes this week =)

Comment by lemonelephant on January 17, 2010 at 10:38pm: Just a reminder: Don't say anything about PRP on here due to what they do. If you have questions of each other about it, please add one another as a friend and send a private message.

Comment by Tabitha on January 17, 2010 at 3:27pm: He is loving what he's learning! He stays kinda stressed b/c they have tests every week and there's so much going on but he's doing great! He is very happy with his job pick which in turn makes me alot happier knowing that :) Again, if u have anymore questions, I'll try to answer them to the best of my ability or I can find out for ya

Comment by Tabitha on January 17, 2010 at 1:40pm: Nic'slilwife: Hey my hubby is in A school now and he got selected for PRP(personnel reliability program) and it guarantees you to be stateside for the first 2 years! It will be a pretty boring job during the first 2 years as my hubby will basically stand watch for nuclear stuff?! LOL I am still trying to get more information on this but it's worth it to us just to be stateside for 2 years! I think the people are randomly selected for this program-i will find out more for ya! Good luck and always stay positive for him :)
