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 julie067 on February 7, 2011 at 6:17pm: Ok ladies, kind of a dumb question. I bought a shirt that says " I love my soldier" then after I got home, I wondered are soldier and sailor considered the same when it's on a t-shirt?? Any ideas??

Comment by Sailormom21811 on February 7, 2011 at 1:54pm: 10 Day's Girls and we see our new Sailors! My heart is getting so anxious...I started packing this a.m. LOL My daughter got a letter from our SR and he sounded really good. Still hanging on to his sense of humor. Said he has lost A LOT of weight in last 2 weeks. Eatting really good. Sure do wish we would get a call. I hope everyone is doing well. I lOVE reading everyones post's, it keeps me going! I printed our Gate Passes...it is getting closer!

Big hugs to everyone and hang in there!

Comment by sherrys (Alumni-Ship 02 Div 911) on February 5, 2011 at 10:16pm: WhiteClay -- Thanks very much for collecting all the pics I sent to you earlier. It sure has helped, as the email address I was sending them from will only allow me to send about 3 pics at a time! A little challenging as my Sailor (sounds so nice to be able to call her a Sailor now!) was looking at me as if to say, "Are you ever going to get off that computer today?!" ;o) Needless to say, was had a fantastic day! I'm looking forward to my time with her tomorrow, however, it will be bittersweet with having to say good-bye once again for another couple of months!

Comment by sherrys (Alumni-Ship 02 Div 911) on February 5, 2011 at 10:11pm: Hello all you wonderful Div 913 families! ;o) I was able to get quite a few pictures. I tried to take some close ups from each group ... did pretty well considering some mishaps with one of my cameras, a new memory card not reading properly, and the wrong tripod for my other camera! A comedy of errors to say the least, but nothing got me down that day!!! My daughter said that there were a trumpet player and a flute player who were in a different "900" division than hers. Does anyone here have a SR who plays either of these instruments? I have pictures of the choir as well, and the rifles and sabres. Send me a friend request in order to send me a private message. I will do my very best to get those pictures to you! Hang in there! You (and your SRs!) are almost there! ;o) HOOYAH!

Comment by WhiteClay Ship 2 Div 913 on February 5, 2011 at 4:49pm: Now that sounds fun! Moms sneaking out of their hotels to meet at the Wal-Mart! Just stay in groups and don't talk to strangers...oh, wait, we ARE strangers! haha..can't wait to meet everyone!

Comment by julie067 on February 5, 2011 at 4:26pm: Maria, you brought up a good point of boots and warm weather gear. Even though it is cold and snowy, I would suggest to save your money on boots. Dress in layers, but unless you are planning on sledding or shoveling, you will be fine with sturdy shoes and warm socks.All of the walkways will be shoveled. It will be less to carry on airplanes. If there is anything I can get for anyone that is too bulky for the plane let me know as we are driving up. (Please no big screen tv requests)! Or we can all do a midnight munchie run to the local Wal-mart!

Comment by WhiteClay Ship 2 Div 913 on February 5, 2011 at 4:00pm: Oh! The pics I mention below are NOT of rifle or band people. If you want to see those message sherry directly. She's a member of our group, but has the Ship 2, Div 911 after her name.

Comment by WhiteClay Ship 2 Div 913 on February 5, 2011 at 3:54pm: I have 10 pics that Sherry from Div 911 sent me if anyone wants to see them. Send me a message with your email and I'll forward them to you!

Comment by WhiteClay Ship 2 Div 913 on February 5, 2011 at 10:10am: I got an email from Sherry late last night that they didn't have wireless at their hotel, but she would try to send the pics to me by email from her phone. Keep checking this site, because maybe Sherry or I can post them to our Div page. I'm so happy for you all that could see their kids! Made me tear up for you! I'm happy just to print the parking passes and see their grad date moved up in the list! We're getting there! My son said they practice 4 hours on Sat for graduations, so should be feeling confident with the drill by the time we get there. Have a great weekend!
