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 FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 12:01pm: BTW...here is some info on how the Discussion Forum works if you want to make changes and for everyone else to understand it.

-Discussion Forum Area

This is the place to start a Discussion about a topic and for your Division Discussions.

The Discussion Forum area is set to show titles only and is at the maximum of twenty titles at a time.

It is also set to show the "latest activity". So whatever has just had a reply added to it will "bump" that Discussion to the top. The discussion will stay up there at the top because it has had "activity"…until the Next Discussion has activity. If there are over twenty discussions, whatever is at the bottom will disappear. So, if you want to see more click, "view all" at the bottom right hand corner of the discussion forum area. It is right up there above the Blue Comment Wall bar.

To "bump" up a discussion to the first spot of the DF area when you don't really want to add a reply...in other words someone is looking for it...just type whatever you want in the reply box and click "add reply". I just type one letter or even a period and add the reply.

When you view a DF by clicking on the title, the first post ever made will be the first one on the first page. To get to the most current reply, click “Last Reply” directly underneath that particular Discussion.

Example

You will also notice that in the top right corner in any post that you do you will see an "x". This is so you may delete your post if you need too. You will also see the “x” on any post you make anywhere else on the site.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 12:00pm: I can move everyones and even add the "details" as far as there Profile Pic and time etc...but it will have my goofy Snopy next to it! OR evryone can cut/copy and paste there own into the Reply box on the Discussion.

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 11:58am: Yes I do...and yes I can as far as moving it...I see you created it...is that an "order" sir?

Comment by FireTeamLeaderWife aka FTLW on July 18, 2012 at 11:56am: Oh...unfair! Your son just started...wait, I haven't gone to Chris' page...do I want too?

Wait for me...I'll join you...

Comment by BowflexLA -SeaBee on July 18, 2012 at 11:54am: LOL! so we're just making up our own acronyms now?- Why not? Cause I don't know what most these acronyms are anyway, still learning. And being Dyslexic dosn't help, LOL!

Comment by Denise - browns57 on July 18, 2012 at 11:52am: LMAO I had the same reaction!

Comment by Concernedad on July 18, 2012 at 11:41am: Alright, so just reviewed Chris's page and now know my son is an underachiever.

I'm wondering if it's too late to have another kid? I feel totally depressed now. Heading to the bar to drink away my stinking failure as a parent.

Thanks a lot Lady Hamilton

Comment by Concernedad on July 18, 2012 at 11:36am: OK, but I get jealous very easily. So I'm guessing Chris's son started as enlisted? From what I hear the STA-21 is a pretty tough program.
