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 Mom2JT on August 18, 2011 at 7:30pm: Thanks for the Welcome =)

Comment by Mom2JT on August 18, 2011 at 7:29pm: Does anyone know what this may mean down the road for him? I'm not clear on the why yet. he was really stressed when he told me that he may be sent back, and kinda all over the place. Yesterday when I got the call I was under the impression that he had JUST found out and was still in the OD's office and couldn't talk.

Comment by tygerh on August 18, 2011 at 7:29pm: Hi everyone!!! Glad to have you here morgan7777. Also, glad to hear everyone is getting mail and, yeah, it's amazing how insignificant the the mailbox once was but now my world revolves around it!!!

Comment by Evi on August 18, 2011 at 7:12pm: Welcome aboard! Maybe it'll be 12/310!

Comment by Mom2JT on August 18, 2011 at 6:57pm: I'm taking a stab in the dark here. I just got word from my SR that he's getting sent back 2 wks which would put his grad date 9/16. Hi all, I don't know what his ship or division is yet.

Comment by Tink on August 18, 2011 at 6:48pm: Twigsmom - I am sure they will come tomorrow. I really wasn't expecting mine untile tomorrow because I got them on Friday last week. I am in Florida.

Comment by tina41 on August 18, 2011 at 6:35pm: happy for everyone that got letters

hang in there twig, you will get yours i know it is hard waiting, but the wait is worth it when you get it

Comment by Tink on August 18, 2011 at 6:32pm: Pennie - I know, isn't it sad. Guess you find out who your true friends are!

Comment by Pennie on August 18, 2011 at 6:24pm: Got a letter! The one thing I don't understand is my SR has written all his friend and none of them have bothered to write him. They told me they just haven't had time. Do they really think he has had a ton of time to right.

Comment by Tink on August 18, 2011 at 4:47pm: Woohoo, letters today, or "journal" as she likes to call it. 12 pages and ALL the questionaires. It is amazing how letters can switch your mood! Here's hoping everyone gets letters today!
