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 littleone68 on April 2, 2012 at 6:29am: @penny - so very sorry to hear of your son's friend... oh so young *sigh*

@freeze71 - how can i see the pic?? my son is in the chorus :-)

Comment by Stephen's Girl(ship12div121) on April 2, 2012 at 12:03am: Penny- I'm so sorry for your SR's loss:( I will keep him in my prayers.
CTsailor- I'm stopping mailing mine Monday of PIR week. I live in TN so mail only takes three days to get there and I'm bringing the rest to give him at graduation for the plane ride and such.

Comment by Freese71 on April 1, 2012 at 10:46pm: Thank you for info on letters diannep, wouldn't't have thought of that... Will get all mine out this week and what I don't mail will bring so he can have on plane... Will also post for his family and friends on Facebook to let them know... Thanks again!!

Comment by diannep on April 1, 2012 at 10:41pm: CTsailor: We advise you all to send the last letters a week before PIR. However, for those who still want to write after that, just copy the letters and take the copies to PIR in case they didn't arrive. They should be forwarded to their A Schools, but we all know how that goes sometimes.

Comment by diannep on April 1, 2012 at 10:38pm: Oh, and I agree. There isn't much chance he will get call/FB time before BattleStations so I think you are ok with that.

Comment by diannep on April 1, 2012 at 10:37pm: Penny, so very sorry about your SR's friend. I agree with proudmom. I would see if you can speak to a Chaplain...you can go through the Red Cross...and see if maybe that Chaplain can speak to your sailor right after Battlestations. It just would be better for this info to come through you than on FB, as you said. It might be that the Chaplain can get permission for your sailor to call home earlier than the others so that you can tell your sailor...sad to have to put a damper on the "I'm a Sailor" excitement, but seems the only way to avoid the FB problem that could happen.

Comment by ML(02/922 PIR 4/13 on April 1, 2012 at 9:55pm: Penny, So sorry about your SR's friend. I will be praying for you and your SR.

Comment by Freese71 on April 1, 2012 at 9:48pm: And Penny I am so sorry to hear about your SR's friend!!!!!!! :(

Comment by Freese71 on April 1, 2012 at 9:47pm: Just to let anyone who has a SR in CHORUS, samsmom from 3/30/12 uploaded a picture that they took on friday of the chorus... I see my son!!!!!!!!!! I'm here in tears but so HAPPY............
