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 danni1226 on August 15, 2011 at 8:40pm: Overwhelmed...trying to make reservations for PIR what hotels are close? Please help.

Comment by Julie on August 15, 2011 at 7:53pm: Wait, you probably wouldn't know, obviously, so just forget that last question. Ugh, I just wanna hear from them. Still, very happy for those who have heard from their SR's today!
But I have heard lately that people have been getting their whole division in trouble, just hoped it wasn't ours, but it probably is. Ugh, lets hope we get something soon! ):

Comment by Julie on August 15, 2011 at 7:49pm: Ugh, are you serious?! That really sucks, I could really use a letter. That would explain why alot of people with SR's in the same division haven't recieved anything yet. Do you know if they were able to send something yesterday?

Comment by John's Mom (Ship 12 DIV 312) on August 15, 2011 at 7:29pm: No mail today :(

I'm with you Julie, I'm really worried. I know someone in their DIV is doing something that is getting them in trouble so they can't send letters or call.

Comment by Evi on August 15, 2011 at 6:25pm: Angel - I did - 15 minutes, just hung up. I emailed you too.

Comment by angelle3 (Ship 12 / Div 310) on August 15, 2011 at 6:14pm: if anyone from 12/310 gets a phone call, please post that you did!!! I'm anxiously awaiting mine! Also, is there a 'usual' time of day they get to make calls home??? Or should I be on Full Alert 24/7???

Comment by Horselover SHIP 11 DIV 322 on August 15, 2011 at 4:32pm: Funny thing though.. Those "squeaky wheels" are always the charmers! They do something to make your blood pressure rise and then turn around and say something like " I will take care of you when your old" funny kids
