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 August 26, 2011 at 10:32am: Praying for her, wlbradford!

Comment by tygerh on August 26, 2011 at 10:08am: Good Friday to all! It may sound weird but I am really excited about tomorrow. Tomorrow the countdown falls down into the teens and out of the twenties! Funny how little things like that can make me happy!!!

Praying for lots of letters for all as well as those coveted phone calls!!!

Comment by Pennie on August 26, 2011 at 8:46am: Happy Friday! Won't be long now even thought some days it feel like an eternity. Continuing to pray for all our SR's. Hoping for lots of letters and calls for everyone. Have a fantastic day!

Comment by shoprat on August 26, 2011 at 7:32am: Happy Friday everyone! 3 weeks from today we'll be seeing our "Sailors"!!

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on August 26, 2011 at 6:37am: Kimmie it's really hard to believe!!! I read and reread her letters, and I just can't WAIT to see her beautiful face again!!! And I'm afraid that I'm going to be so excited that I might get her in trouble for PDA even tho I'm her MOM!!!! Crazy, huh? LOL

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on August 26, 2011 at 6:25am: Well then...praying for 5's!!!! And would you all mind praying for my SR especially? In her letter, she says she sucks at inspections and if they have all of those inspections in this one week, my SR will need those prayers.

Comment by kwtracey on August 25, 2011 at 11:41pm: Two letters today!! My SR says that Hell Week (week 4 day 1) began on Tuesday, Aug 23. She said they have a mock battlestation on the USS Marlinspike, a personal inspection, a zone inspection and a compartment inspection, a drill inspection, live fire, test 2, and they are taking pictures for their military ID's. She said they will be really busy, stressed, and sleep deprived. She also said "Bring it on!" - so I think that means she feels ready for the challenge. She said that if they score a perfect 5.0 the Chief told them they would be allowed to make an extra phone call on Saturday (but that was extremely unlikely).

Comment by cluebee on August 25, 2011 at 11:05pm: I am really hoping for a letter tomorrow! I have had "Mr. Postman" stuck in my head all week :o)

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on August 25, 2011 at 11:02pm: I got a letter today as well...she seems good other than worrying about Hell Week. Here's praying that they all make it through this week and next!!! :)

Comment by Julie on August 25, 2011 at 10:22pm: I agree with you 100%. If things don't change, then I might see if I can take my own vechile. I mean, I don't mind if people want to do what they want. But I mean, is it hard to understand that I will want to spend all day friday with my SR, then if I get the chance, to go the airport with him? I figured they'd understand that. Ugh, gotta love some people.
