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 Hawkimom on March 17, 2011 at 11:43am: Iowa, almost Illinois

Comment by embarkguru on March 17, 2011 at 11:35am: Hawkimom, I am the Ombudsman Lesa. I believe that I have spoken to you before. The date for arrival has not changed since then. I don't know what $$$ that would be for.

Comment by Hawkimom on March 17, 2011 at 11:33am: well I wanted to talk to them about the dates of arrival at the ports... and they told me to call them. so... was going to call them tomorrow in the a.m, but was just wondering about $$$, guess I will just call and see how much it ends up being... I am not going on TC, but was thinking about trying to get vacation time to see the ship arrive in port.... but need to have a pretty accurate eta to plan for that, as I will be driving....

Comment by embarkguru on March 17, 2011 at 11:21am: Hawkimom, I'm here if you need any assistance.

Comment by YVETTE NVYMOM on March 17, 2011 at 11:15am: Ladies forgive me I have been away for months! I am planning to attend the TC. My daughter took the info for the attendees last month, name, age gender...does that qualify as "registration?" I see that there are forms due by Apr 15th also. Any help would be appreciated.

Comment by Hawkimom on March 17, 2011 at 11:07am: Anybody know about how much it costs to call the ombudsman #s? I dont have a cell phone will be using my home phone and I suppose it will be long distance and just wondered if it was worth the price to call it?

Comment by Largefilipino on March 15, 2011 at 9:29pm: Thanks guys! She just told me it's a higher rank and soon to be higher pay. Not flying though!

Comment by Largefilipino on March 14, 2011 at 6:01pm: I hope they post pics soon. Congrats to your daughter too polli! I wonder now if this rank reflects on their mailing address.

Comment by polli k on March 14, 2011 at 5:59pm: Now she has earned the same award as my daughter has.. Congrats to her. Daughter never said anything about flying solo, she was more stoked about all the Huge guns she could now fire lol

Comment by Largefilipino on March 14, 2011 at 5:43pm: My Daughter is in weapons department. She just told us she earned her AOAN wings. Googling is telling me she can fly solo. IS THIS TRUE?
Please someone let me know!
