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 Anita n Ohio on August 12, 2011 at 9:39pm: Tink - I doubt you'll ever loose that mother-daughter bond. You've raised a remarkable woman who went into a career not many females choose to do! THAT is something to be proud of. Yes, this is a hard step to let go and let her spread her wings to becoming an adult...but thanks to your hard work, guidance and support - she will be able to do this. Shed a tear but remember, you've raised a unique lady!

Comment by Anita n Ohio on August 12, 2011 at 9:37pm: shop - if you go to the Facebook page, the question is posted at 11am Eastern Time, 10am Central - answer is located in the link under the "INFO" tab. I've seen talk from RTC that they are thinking of doing this twice a week (maybe since they are no longer doing the random pics - which I got a nasty letter from someone on that page and suddenly - it was gone when I tried to read it again). Best to go to that INFO tab, review that link. Questions can be anything from how many demoninational Sunday services do they offer to the SRs to information on the Officers. It's fun! It's STRESSFUL but it's fun to know that over 140 people are on that page at that very moment trying to win a picture of their SR's division. There are only 5 more tuesdays for this event for us so please, the more the merrier to get a pic of our divisions....

Comment by shoprat on August 12, 2011 at 9:29pm: I need help! Where is the trivia Tuesday question posted and where is the answer?

Comment by Pennie on August 12, 2011 at 9:29pm: KimmieM praying for your SR to get well! Its isnt easy to go through boot camp I cant imagine being sick going thru boot camp.

Comment by Pennie on August 12, 2011 at 9:23pm: Delete Comment I am just devastated that my phone never rang! and I missed his call. I believe that me and my cell phone carrier will be having a conversation as to why my phone doesnt ring when someone calls. My husband got the call but I wasn't home so I didnt get to talk to him :(. But glad he got to talk to my husband. He did tell my hubby that he passed the swim test. He did all the sit up required for for the PFA. But missed the run by 12 seconds and the push ups by two. He said he was a little worried about not passing that test

Comment by John's Mom (Ship 12 DIV 312) on August 12, 2011 at 8:55pm: Julie---they have tuesday trivia, the first person who answers the question correctly gets to pick a DIV that they want a picture of.

Comment by Julie on August 12, 2011 at 8:43pm: John's Mom- Really? I didn't even know they had a facebook. Whats the link, maybe I could find something on there!

Comment by John's Mom (Ship 12 DIV 312) on August 12, 2011 at 8:28pm: Julie---check out the picture I put on my page. It must be DIV 312 because I found my son. I found the picture on RTC on facebook(they take random pictures from around the base). Maybe you will find your SR

Comment by Julie on August 12, 2011 at 8:26pm: John's Mom- Oh I know what you mean! I'd feel so bad. And I'm also driving my family nuts always asking about the mail and if I got my letter yet. Oh well, at least they understand and are supporting him and myself. Just think, 35 days left until we can finally see them again! WOOHOO! But lets hope for our letters in the mean time as well. haha

Comment by John's Mom (Ship 12 DIV 312) on August 12, 2011 at 8:24pm: Julie--I hate to think that someone in their division is making BC harder than it has to be (it's hard enough as it is). I'm driving my husband nuts (the mailman too) I just make sure our son gets a steady flow of letters.
