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 15, 2011 at 10:08am: Picture of 313 is up on the RTC site.

Comment by John's Mom (Ship 12 DIV 312) on September 15, 2011 at 10:02am: Good Morning everyone! This is the day we've been waiting for, 24 hours and we'll be on the base. It's so nice saying 24 hours not 24 days :D

Comment by Pennie on September 15, 2011 at 9:31am: Good morning to all. I am only 4 hours away. All we have is a awake and we will be seeing our sailors. Congrats to all. Safe travels hope to see you at the meet n greet

Comment by Lisaaj on September 15, 2011 at 8:56am: Good luck & safe travels to all. I've enjoyed reading & taking in all the info. Enjoy your time with your Sailors!!

Comment by diannep on September 15, 2011 at 8:28am: Safe travel, everyone....enjoy PIR...it will be one of the most wonderful experiences of your life! Can't wait for you to experience that "big door" moment! It is a goosebump time!

Remember, visit the NEX afterwards to order pictures and tshirts. If you don't need to do that, then you may want to avoid the RTC NEX and visit the bigger NEX off base (Green Bay Rd) with your sailor. Less crowded there.

Please post and let us know how it was! HOOYAH and a Bravo Zulu to your sailors!

Don't forget the MeetNGreet tonight....6-8 pm at the Ramada!

Hoping that the remaining 2 groups that went through BattleStations last night get to call today...

Blessings to all!

Comment by proudmom11 (ship11 div314) on September 15, 2011 at 7:05am: Leaving Bridgton, Maine and traveling to Boston for our flight at 2:00 p.m.

Called airlines yesterday because I couldn't print my boarding passes and they said we have to get them at the airline(hope there are no surprises).

Hope to meet everyone at the M&G and again congrats to all your loved ones.

I didn't write much on here, but read it daily and it got me through. Thanks everyone and safe travels.

Now I need the phone to ring...
