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 joel's_rackie on May 31, 2011 at 4:02pm: “Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.”

Comment by joel's_rackie on May 31, 2011 at 3:21pm: Wilsmom could you please post the link here? I went to the one diannep posted on the discussion board PIR 7/8. But it was a group forum. Thanks in advance!

Comment by Willsmom on May 31, 2011 at 9:09am: Wow! Just went to the link for info about Battlestations and suddenly, unexpectedly my eyes filled with tears and my skin with goosebumps! Not tears of sadness, but of pride! We are all fixing to have United States Sailors! God bless each and every one of them!

Comment by Lisa on May 30, 2011 at 10:27am: Tickled Pink & Becky: Not sure why some get "the call" and others don't but know that we're all here to support each other! Those were bonus calls but we are supposed to get a call from our sailors in weeks 3 or 4 as well. Keep that phone near you! I forgot mine in my purse, my son left a message then had to call the landline. It ate up a lot of the time he had for the call. You will hear from him though! My son said he sent a letter now, so we should start receiving mail soon too! I've started a list next to the phone of the important things I want to ask my son when he does call next...now I have to remember the list, lol

Hope you all have a Great Memorial Day!

Comment by TickledTink on May 30, 2011 at 1:19am: I'm still waiting for my husband's call! I missed his call on 5/22 :(

He sounded SO sad on the voicemail, it broke my heart!

I had my phone with me at all times all day today expecting him to call since I know the division has earned another. I even put it in a ziplock bag and kept it safe while I went to the pool with friends. What times are they able to make calls? Will he maybe have time tomorrow?

Comment by joel's_rackie on May 29, 2011 at 6:12pm: Becky: Maybe he used the call privilege to call some one else. Does he have a girlfriend? Or, he doesn't have a phone card... Joel told me that his whole division gets a call privilege. Cheer up Becky, I bet there's a logical reason behind it. If you don't get a call from him, you'll get a letter soon! Hang in there!

Comment by Becky on May 29, 2011 at 12:45pm: JR...Still waiting on a call. Haven't left the house and I have my cell phone forwarded to my house phone. Did he say if the whole division rcv'd phone call?
