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 Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 17, 2013 at 2:48pm: Doubletrouble sending you big squeeze hugs!! LOL! I was the same about not calling the recruiter! My box and letter came exactly one week - two weeks! Hang in!

Cathy maybe because he is in the cardinal division it is a different procedure.

Comment by cathymgShip03Div367&ship11Div383 on August 17, 2013 at 12:46pm: I am a little freak out, So Gregory left Thursday and today I received a call from him at work and his dad had a missed call from him. When he called me at work, I just couldn't believe it, I was in shock thinking something must me wrong, I think I ask him what was wrong and he said that he was fine and that he would call in a couple of weeks and that he loved me, I know someone was standing over him, but why did he call?? Makes no since to me and believe hearing his voice did not make me feel better this time, I am now more worried then ever. For one thing when his dad got the call, he tried to call it back 6 times, oh my!! Just can't stop thinking about it and how strange it was, I text the recruiter to see if he could shine any light on it for me. Hoping he is not in any trouble, and he is the more laid back, easy going twin. Just don't know what to think!! Any knowledge on this girls??

Comment by twinsailorsmom on August 17, 2013 at 10:58am: Disy - say prayer for Twinkle 1 for quick recovery!! And I say rent a car, if you have to get even one Taxi it would be cheaper to get a car.

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 17, 2013 at 10:44am: Ladies just had a call - please say a prayer for twinkle 1 - she has a swollen ankle and can't wear her boots and has to be checked again on Monday - she says it is feeling better already and won't be sent home but need a message sent to God to heal her quick!

Comment by doubletrouble on August 17, 2013 at 10:16am: Hello Ladies! It's been a decent week, not too many 'moments', that's what me & my husband call it when I have to sit & cry. He knows to just let me cry for a bit, get it out, then I will be fine! I still haven't received Darien's form letter so I don't know his ship/division or positive PIR date yet & am trying to be patient, I'm determined to not call our recruiter... When I get home everyday the first thing I ask my husband is if we got his letter!
Cathy, sounds like a wonderful trip! I saw some pics on facebook of them marching down the street & thought about you!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 16, 2013 at 10:26pm: Oh I knew I had something to share ! Booked my flight today and my hotel! Staying at Springhill Marriott! Still tossing up about a car or not so didn't book that! Who Hoo!

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 16, 2013 at 10:24pm: Doubletrouble hope you are okay today !

Comment by Disy (Ship12Div371) on August 16, 2013 at 10:20pm: Hi Cindib - they do seem to have different reactions about going don't they? My SR would not push her date forward for love or money! Actually I know she couldn't but she refused to even contemplate it! Are they leaving the same time?
