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 tina41 on August 10, 2011 at 10:11pm: travsmom---glad your SRs girlfriend got her call my SR is in the same division and he was suppose to call but we havent gotten one darn it!!! was really looking forward to hearing his voice

Comment by diannep on August 10, 2011 at 9:26pm: firewife: Those who are sick may get some light duty until they are better...they try to keep them in the division if they are able to, but if really sick, some may have to go to RCU (would be asmoed (setback) then). Most recover within their divisiions though.

Comment by Trav'smom 07/303 on August 10, 2011 at 9:19pm: To Boys R US my son said the same thing about people not knowing when to shut up. He said that they are all getting sick of it. I didnt get a phone call he called his girlfriend, I was bummed at first but I do understand. I am just glad to get the letters and he is sounding better each one.

Comment by VickieM (FT Mom) on August 10, 2011 at 8:56pm: Yeah! Finally got a letter! Glad he is so upbeat!

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on August 10, 2011 at 8:55pm: Guess what...the "talkers" will most likely never stop...my Sailor said that they continued until the end of BC. They still did good as a DIV...but yeah...they had to "pay" for it.

(It's been that way in "A" school too. ugh.)

Comment by firewife5 on August 10, 2011 at 8:29pm: Oh happy day!! I just got my son's first 2 letters! (ship07/div 307) It was great to hear from him, but a bit sad too. He has been sick, apparantly with severe cough and fever. Does anyone know how they handle the "sickies"? My prayer is that he doesn't get held back or anything because of it. Also, I just want to say THANK YOU! to Johns_Mom (12/312) for alerting us to the RTC Facebook page! How wonderful to see my son's pic! With a smile and all!! Check it out you guys if you have a chance!

Comment by Brittany (ship07/div303) on August 10, 2011 at 8:19pm: Well still waiting for our phone call....He said he was going to be able to call today. Happy for you BoysRUs!! Wish Tina41 and me luck for our phone call please!!

Comment by cluebee on August 10, 2011 at 7:46pm: Kimmie, Sheshe, Pennie, all of the others with loved ones in 944,

I am praying that you receive some news (letter, phone call, smoke signals, something!) soon. I know if I were in your shoes, I would already have gone totally nutso cuckoo by now. Y'all exhibit grace and patience in a way of which I am envious. Thank you for helping me keep my perspective.
