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."

I decided to start this group to see who else may have a Sailor on this ship; or heading to this ship.

Granted, we may be a bit limited to what we can discuss openly online, but if nothing else, may be a good way to connect and network off-line as well.

Make sure to not disclose advance ship movements or other OPSEC issues.

My son is an FC2 on this ship.

Comment by JillG on April 7, 2011 at 10:24am: Good to know Reginia S. I'm sure there are alot of people that will need that!

Comment by JillG on April 7, 2011 at 9:45am: JCKV'sMOM- i agree, but i think i read somewhere that there is an amendment to the constitution that won't allow congress to go without a check. I also read thought here were 2 congressmen that were trying to pass a bill that would stop their pay. The congress man basically said that if they can't agree and get this passed then they are not doing their job therefore they should not get paid. I hope that passes but I doubt it will.

A.Mitchell- I'm sure they will get paid on the next paycheck after the shut down is over. I am nervous that it will last longer than a couple of weeks. I don't know what those of you that depend on that check will do! I would be panicking! I pray they will get this all settled by tomorrow!

The US Navy Facebook posted this about the shut down.

Comment by siscarrie on April 6, 2011 at 10:55am: Thats crazy! That shouldn't even happen, the sailores and their families shouldn't half to be worried about this, i just pray they pass it today. I'm just shocked!!

Comment by JillG on April 6, 2011 at 9:33am: yep. my sailor told me that they may not get their 2nd paycheck in april. i did read that they should get back pay once everything is settled. but i also read that they are trying to pass a resolution that ensures the military gets a check. but i dont believe it has passed.

Comment by siscarrie on April 6, 2011 at 9:12am: I was watching the news this morning, just wondering what the deal is with government might shut down? Did i hear right, military may not get paid?

Comment by siscarrie on April 5, 2011 at 11:16pm: My son just e-mailed me and said he received a package yesterday. I sent a package out on the 25th and on the 29th, he received the 29th package first,He really needed the first one first, it had the stuff he forgot to get before they left, the second one had homemade cookies and other goodies.Hopefully he gets it soon.

Comment by JillG on April 4, 2011 at 11:56pm: i doubt it, but ya never know with the navy. im sure there are lots of people that send liquids.

Comment by ckmom on April 4, 2011 at 11:53pm: Well I really want to get this box mailed out, will they get in trouble if there is liquid stuff in there box?

Comment by JillG on April 4, 2011 at 11:39pm: up to you i would guess. i did get a tip from a navy wife to send the drink mixes. and gatorade does make a mix if you want to get that instead.
