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."

I see the link but it takes me to a page that shows how many members.  I can't really see much else than that.  Maybe I am doing something wrong?  I am trying to locate others on the same ship/div to inquire about letters or phone calls.
Comment by Ccole on July 12, 2011 at 3:02pm
Yes, I see that.  But it looks like everyone that is a PIR of 8-12-11 is in there and I am trying to be more specific for ship 10 div 258 with a pir of 8-12-11.  Am I being too picky?
Comment by Ccole on July 12, 2011 at 5:36pm

Hi Cindy!  So glad to find somebody else in the same group!  In this case, it is not my Son; rather my daughters heart!  As it is her boyfriend that is the Sailor and she is SO proud!  With that said, very sad being left behind as well.  Last week she rec'd 4 letters and was on cloud 9!  This week; nothing so far.  Have you rec'd any letters so far this week or maybe even the precious phone call?  Thanks for helping me out!

Comment by Ccole on July 12, 2011 at 9:55pm
Yes, we are going to graduation and we too are staying at the Ramada. At that point, no more worries about the mail or a call. This will all be trivial by them....Thank God! So looking forward to seeing him again! Counting down the days. Stay strong!
