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 lynnee22 on November 5, 2013 at 4:55pm: Sorry to hear about the obstacles our Sailors are encountering. I'm also sorry to hear about the problems that some of you are now facing with the schedule changes.

Comment by joirenee on November 4, 2013 at 12:26pm: can someone please send me what the CO wrote so that I can alter my plans--my email is joirenee1@gmail.com

Comment by Sarah's mom. Ship 07 DIV 077 on November 4, 2013 at 9:34am: I am praying for all of the sailors safe return! I am sure they are ready

Comment by spyder013 on November 4, 2013 at 9:13am: Good thing I'm an optimist...lol!

Comment by Chels's mom on November 4, 2013 at 8:49am: Chris- Your patience and optimism is commendable! You 100% right on about their safety is number one priority. I feel so sad and frustrated for all these sailors...just when we thought there's NO stopping them now...yikes! Maybe this will turn in to another "liberty" port. Chels was ecstatic last week to feel the green grass again.

Comment by spyder013 on November 4, 2013 at 8:41am: Happy Monday everyone! Hopefully you all got updated news from the CO and can put your plans on hold. At least there are 72 hours to let hotel know we need to cancel so won't be charged!
Main thing is that our sailors make it home safely and here's hoping homecoming date doesn't change! But if it does then so be it...lol! Fingers crossed for quick repairs!

Comment by spyder013 on November 2, 2013 at 2:52pm: Gosh yer right ... lol! Yes definitely will give her mom hug:)from you!
I'm do excited. ..already almost packed...just last minute stuff to put in bsg.

Comment by Chels's mom on November 2, 2013 at 2:23pm: hhahaaha...CHRIS... at first glance I thought you sad "fornicating" the ladders!

So happy/excited (in a jealous way ; ) ) for you! Please, please give my Chels a great big hug for me! Hope you have the time of your life! All you lucky parents!!!
