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 cluebee on September 18, 2011 at 10:38pm: Julie -- congratulations! Just remember, it's not goodbye. It's just see you later. That helps me a little. Then, I cry a little... :)

Comment by Julie on September 18, 2011 at 10:24pm: Well ladies, we finally did it. And man, was it nice to see our sailors, or was it nice? Mine proposed to me in a hotel room. Not how he wanted to do it I guess, but still. I was also there with him at the airport (even though it took us two hours to find..) but that farewell was hard. I'm so glad they got communication.

Comment by shoprat on September 18, 2011 at 8:47pm: Short but sweet! We have Sailors!! Hopefully it will be easier now with more communication..

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 18, 2011 at 8:05pm: I agree! So nice to talk to my girl at will!!! And she's not complaining about the 90 degree weather in SA either!!! :-)

Comment by Anita n Ohio on September 18, 2011 at 2:36pm: Left my SA at GL at 6:10pm (eastern time), 45 trip through Chicago (no toll roads!), finally pulled in home at 12:06am. She will do A School there for 3 - 5 weeks then she's off to Norfolk, VA on an aircraft carrier. Will get to spend some Liberty time in October with her before she's off and running for the next 8 years.

Comment by cluebee on September 18, 2011 at 8:23am: MaddenMaiden -- I totally agree with you. This was actually a little worse because I had to put in the "brave face" for the others there. I failed at that, though.

Comment by Aproudmom on September 18, 2011 at 8:17am: Had a fantastic time with my daughter.

Comment by wlbradford (Rota Spain) on September 17, 2011 at 10:39pm: Kimmie, hopefully it won't. My sailor left this morning but I've talked to her several times, so it doesn't seem as bad!

Comment by Boys R Us(ship07/div303) on September 17, 2011 at 10:14pm: I ditto what cluebee said...so bittersweet...:( :)

It's all a blur, he was here and just like that he was gone!

Comment by MaddenMaiden on September 17, 2011 at 7:57pm: Wasn't ready to feel like I did when he left for Basic. It was hard to say goodbye to him all over again.
