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 navy1of5 (Ship03 Div118) on March 6, 2012 at 8:18pm: Hi kimstn... Hope you won't have to cry either, but if you feel the need, you've come to the right place! My daughter is almost halfway through bootcamp. I'm in the Knoxville area. Welcome!

Comment by kimstn on March 6, 2012 at 12:31am: Middle TN here....son leaving for BC on 3/13 - very excited for him and hope I don't need to cry here too much on anyone's shoulder. Really glad to have found this site. Thanks, kimstn

Comment by bryters ATI Whidbey Island on March 4, 2012 at 10:25pm: Rr Sooo Sorry, West TN moms meet every other momth. I must have been thinking about an upcomming trip to Knoxville when I said East. However it sounds like you could have a get together. All I did is post where and when and Moms show up. Everyone picks up their own check, Its that easy. Everytime weve had 4-5 moms.

Comment by navy1of5 (Ship03 Div118) on March 3, 2012 at 2:44pm: Getting together with other East Tennessee families would be fun! Keep me posted as to when and where.

Hope everyone is safe. All is well in Memphis

Comment by ML(02/922 PIR 4/13 on March 2, 2012 at 10:06pm: My daughter's PIR is 4/13/12. I was just wondering if anyone else has a sailor with the same PIR date?

Comment by navy1of5 (Ship03 Div118) on March 2, 2012 at 8:46pm: How is everybody? These storms are relentless! Stay safe.

Comment by navy1of5 (Ship03 Div118) on February 29, 2012 at 7:00pm: I got my first letter today! My daughter seems to be adjusting well. I had tell somebody who understands my giddiness!

Comment by navy1of5 (Ship03 Div118) on February 25, 2012 at 10:23pm: Mchughes90-- my daughter spent so much time with her boyfriend that her sisters started to complain! I guess she needed that "controlled separation". After she'd left for BC, I saw a note she'd written her sister asking her to "look after Mom because this is hard for her."

Comment by navy1of5 (Ship03 Div118) on February 25, 2012 at 12:59pm: judyann... Wow! How exciting! Give him an extra hug from his Tennessee supporters.
