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 whitney123(USS Alaska Gold) on October 21, 2010 at 8:49pm: Mines not for sure yet on the whole thanksgiving thing. He was supposed to find out today if he will be able to. but we all know how that goes.. nothings ever when its supposed to be. I really hope he gets to!

Krystal- Mine is yayy:) well hopefully. He also might be able to come home for thanksgiving! It will only be for 4 days but hey, better than nothing

Comment by whitney123(USS Alaska Gold) on October 20, 2010 at 11:31pm: Yes very old haha. Did you make it to NYC while you were there? I was there for 4th of July, pretty sweet!

Comment by whitney123(USS Alaska Gold) on October 20, 2010 at 7:54pm: I haven't had the chance to get down there yet. I was only to the Groton subbase. I live in michigan so its quite the distance haha. But from what he's told me its awesome. He likes it better than Groton, although he had quite a few friends there. Groton is pretty old looking lol, creepy also with the insane hospital and everything! (idk if you know about that or not)

And airports..its a love-hate relationship!

Comment by whitney123(USS Alaska Gold) on October 20, 2010 at 6:33pm: You ladies are all so great :)
Im sorry I didnt introduce myself. My name is Whitney and my boyfriends name is Cody. Hes been enlisted for over a year now. He went to Groton for sub school and is now in Kings Bay, GA. He has not been on deployment yet but his boat is the USS Alaska.
I hope we can all talk more about our experiences and help eachother through these hard times.
