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 WackyWaveUSN on October 19, 2013 at 7:20pm: UPDATE: I just got an email tonight from US Air. They are crediting my FULL REFUND for my ticket to my visa that I used to purchase it. I should see it on my credit card statement within the next 2 statements. So, I guess I won't be boycotting US AIRWAYS. It took persistence and a lot of threatening letters and phone calls, but in the end, they did the right thing, which I kept telling them I was sure they wanted to do. Kudos to US AIR for supporting the Navy and it's families, and NOT charging any ridiculous fees for canceling the original flight. Now, I have no hard feelings.

Comment by MaggieH on October 19, 2013 at 5:32pm: I got an email response from Margo - Tiger cruise info should be emailed tonight or tomorrow
Congratulations to all the shell backs!!! Mine passed too!

Comment by Annie on October 19, 2013 at 5:16pm: I am curious to WackyWave about the notice to all about the homecoming and tiger cruise? hmmm...interesting..

Comment by Colleen on October 19, 2013 at 4:58pm: I went back and looked at the email I got and it was from vanripm1 that said her Congressman called and it got taken care of. I wasn't aware that there was a couple of you having trouble.

Comment by WackyWaveUSN on October 19, 2013 at 12:32pm: Colleen, I didn't get Congress involved. I just used the letter from the CO of the ship. However, in the letter that I sent to the airlines, I threatened to contact the media, as well as my elected officials, if need be, if I didn't receive a refund. We should know something this week. The ten business days are up on Thursday, so we'll see what happens. Congrats to the new Shellbacks! Any official news from the Ombudsman about the Tiger Cruise? I'm just curious.

Comment by Lisartru97(Ship 07 Div 359) on October 19, 2013 at 12:09pm: Annie, that is great news. I Was hoping that would happen for them! Can't wait to hear the stories! I talked to my son two days ago. Hopefully I can catch him on Facebook today!

Comment by Lisathedreamhealer on October 19, 2013 at 12:08pm: Yes, I was able to Skype with my son a few days ago. Its always so comforting to actually SEE and HEAR that he is alright, in addition to Facebook chatting.

Comment by Annie on October 19, 2013 at 11:51am: Yes, and they did there ceremony of pollywog to shellbacks! My son is an official shellback now. Getting excited to come home soon!
