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 Lena-Ship 06 Div 942 PIR 09/02 on July 19, 2010 at 12:43pm: thanks for the information :)

Comment by Lena-Ship 06 Div 942 PIR 09/02 on July 19, 2010 at 12:38pm: she was allowed to call and only speak for 5 minutes because she was crying a lot and was worried about me (me instead of herself) she knows that when I'm worried about things I cry a lot and because she did not get a letter on Sunday, she thought there was something wrong with me. I had to reassure her that all was good and don't worry things are fine at home. I also explained to her that the letter did not come in the mail until Saturday just past and she felt a little better after speaking with me, but it made me sad though.

Comment by SOBE,PIR 6/4/10 IT Mom, Italy on July 19, 2010 at 12:31pm: N4M Emails: I'm on so many groups, I was getting over 250 emails a day from N4M! So I decided to go to my settings (upper right side of your page) and turned off ALL emails from N4M (once you find where to do this, scroll to bottom - there is one box to check that will turn off all notifications). I figure I live on this site, so I've already read the comments that are coming to my email!

Comment by Brenda (Div 293 PIR 9/2/2010) on July 19, 2010 at 12:30pm: Thanks so much JessicaB for the questionaires - I love the ideas!

Comment by luggs107 ship 4 div 292 on July 19, 2010 at 12:29pm: Hi all,, I just finished writing a long letter to my son,, ( again, I think ive written almost every day lol ) and I used questions from the questionaire JessicaB posted,, which was great!!! I just hope he answers them all!! my laptop calls to me way too often!!! havent been getting much done around here last two weeks. But it does give me peace of mind to talk to other moms going thru same !! only so much sympathy do I get from Hubby and other sons.. this is a MOM thing.. thanks all!!! have a good week!!

Comment by Lena-Ship 06 Div 942 PIR 09/02 on July 19, 2010 at 12:21pm: Hi, new to the group and this site. I just wanted to know if someone was feeling the same anxiety that I'm feeling about BC. I just received a call this morning from my daughter crying because she did not get a letter from me on Sunday. I'm feeling a little down today because I did not get her letter until this past Saturday.

Comment by junjens (DIV 291 PIR 9-2) on July 19, 2010 at 11:33am: Lydia, Under the comment box that you type in there is a "Stop Following" button, click on that and you won't get an email for every comment!

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on July 19, 2010 at 11:29am: How do I stop getting emails with every comment - my email is getting over loaded. I read each comment anyway throughout the day. How do I turn that off - is it the Stop Following or is there a different way

Comment by Lydia (For B - The Sea is Ours) on July 19, 2010 at 11:23am: Fantastic information -- Im at work but reading all of these JessicaB - Im really overwhelmed. My son indicated that his recruiter told him he would have 10 days leave to go home before leaving for A school. He is PreBuds... 818 - So Im wondering if that was right. Seems like he will go straight to FL A school? Well, I guess Ill find out in due time. Just need to learn to calm down and go with the flow! Oh, Im guessing that the hotel shuttle that drops us off will also pick us back up - :o) right?
