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."

My hubby started AWAT last Friday and should start ABH school on the 8th, he just found out today! I have been to Fl. but not to Pensacola, I was planing on going but since he will be done at the end of the month I think I will just stick it out! With Spring Break ticket prices are CRAZY! How about you?

YAY!!!! I'm so happy to hear that. i'm going to call u in a little bit. :-D
At 10:17pm on January 2, 2011, Misha61083 Ship 09 Div 074 said…
Did u get a call today?
At 2:28pm on January 1, 2011, Misha61083 Ship 09 Div 074 said…
I would think that he will. it just might take a while to get to him though.  I still haven't gotten any thing from him so I'm not really in a good place. I've been trying to stay positive and continue writing to him. What does your boyfriend talk about? has anyone gotten into trouble is that why they haven't gotten to call? Girl I'm going nuts and I don't know what to think.
