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 egbot on September 6, 2010 at 8:59am: I don't know why there is this great divide either. Perhaps it's the Navy that perpetuates it. They do keep Officers and enlisted people separate - you know, separate quarters, separate clubs, etc. My LO told me that the life of an officer on a submarine can be lonely because they can't really fraternize with the enlisted personnel. Maybe that's what creates the divide. However, in my mind, they're all the same... they're all putting their lives on the line and all deserve special treatment!

Comment by allybelle on September 5, 2010 at 4:07pm: It will get here soon Madre... :) Ok ladies i have a really strange question that i feel really bad asking and I don't mean my question rudely or to be offensive towards anyone but, why is it that when I ask a question and something is said about my husband being an officer or they find out I am an officer spouse some members treat me differently?? It is like they don't want to speak to me after that.

Also, my husband just wrote home and said something about family week. He is in OCS currently. Does this week happen right before graduation, or is it at another time?

Comment by madre37 on September 4, 2010 at 2:37pm: oh how I wish it was my turn to travel to Newport, well 47 more days until graduation

Comment by LZ27 on September 4, 2010 at 2:34pm: The best to all who are traveling to Newport this coming week. cCngrats to your new ensigns. Enjoy the day, the ceremony, the city and your celebration! Take lots of pics and imprint and cherish those memories in your heart.

Comment by Sweet*Southern*Lady on September 3, 2010 at 5:27pm: Patsy, B's ship came in one time 8-12 days early (he was enlisted). We ended up going down to a week later over thanksgiving .

Comment by Wonder Woman on September 3, 2010 at 3:20pm: XXXY, THAT IS SO SAD. I CAN ONLY IMAGINE HOW STRESSFUL THAT WAS ON YOU. HEARTBREAKING.

Comment by pgrlisa on September 3, 2010 at 3:18pm: A Tiger cruise is where family and friends meet the ship at some point on the way home (sometimes Hawaii for Pacific cruises, Camp Lejeune for Atlantic) and go on board for the final few days of the cruise.

Comment by Wonder Woman on September 3, 2010 at 3:17pm: Well. for instance, the carrier series we watch was out of San Deigo. Loved ones who wanted to flew to Hawaii and got a 5 day cruise on the carrier with their sailors. there were aur shows and all kinda of things. We are so excited we can hardly wait.

Comment by navymom9875 on September 3, 2010 at 2:47pm: What is a Tiger Cruise?

Comment by Wonder Woman on September 3, 2010 at 12:18pm: We have been watching "Carriers" again on PBS. We want to go on the Tiger Cruise. How do they make room for the parents? Last night some of the sailors flew home from Hawaii so my guess is that's how they do it. My question is, when we get a "port of call" date...is it etched in stone? Can I feel safe in buying an airline ticket?
