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 sharon-(Ship7div183) on June 25, 2012 at 7:36pm: Barbarajean, She went in as undesignated so no idea of what she will do.

Comment by sharon-(Ship7div183) on June 21, 2012 at 9:36pm: My daughter just got assigned to this ship. She will go to San Diago in July. Thought I would join this group and see if you have a Facebook page as well.

Comment by calliecl on April 7, 2012 at 7:47am: Still trying to figure out shipping packages. My first 2 got there within 3 weeks. Since then I have sent 2 more and it's ben 5 weeks and he is still waiting. I hope he gets them because they contain some items he really wants. I have started another box but will prob wait a bit to send as I think he will end up with all of them at the same time. Lol. Hopefully these packages find their way to the ship!

Comment by jdmom on March 21, 2012 at 12:25pm: Hi Darla, I don't get many emails either. I am assuming from your name your son is an OS? Mine is also, from the few I have gotten they seem pretty busy. My son is actually "cranking" now so I have received one email each week for the last two weeks but prior to that they were very sparse. The first box I sent took a few weeks to get to him, I just sent my second one about 10 days ago still no word if he got it.

Comment by OS2Holguin's mom on March 21, 2012 at 9:27am: Since my son met up with the ship in Guam I have only received two e mails from him and that was sometime ago. Has anyone heard from them and when? Also yesterday the 20th of March I sent my son a care package, how long does it usually take for them to get those? Thanks..Darla

Comment by jdmom on March 4, 2012 at 11:43am: I haven't heard anything either since they were in port, I will say my son's attitude was a bit more serious on that last call. I figured since much hasn't been posted from the ship on the Facebook page either they must be busy. It is hard not to worry but I am just trying to keep in mind they are at work.
