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."

Hi Caryn321, My son wrote in his letter that Battlestations was 10 days from "today" and the letter was dated 3/11/12.  My guess is that it will be held on 3/21/12.  What is your SR's name and where is he going after BC?  My son has mentioned a few guys in his letters.  Cant wait for PIR!!!!  Cathie

Hi Caryn, I think you are right. Have you heard from your sr?

Hi. I got his box yesterday.  I just spoke to his recruiter, he gave me Ship 2, Division 920.  I'm still going to wait for the form letter to make sure this is correct.  Do you know your son's yet?

Hi. How are you doing? I'm patiently waiting for the box? Have you received yours? I think about my son and what he may be doing during the day. Hard to concentrate at work.

Hi. Our profile pics are very similar.  Yes, that's my daughter in the picture.  Is that your daughter in yours?

I want to thank you for the friend request. I see you live in Colorado, we live in Santa Fe New Mexico. We're almost neighbors.

Hi Caryn, how r things? What time did you get the call? Michael called at 10:03pm. I didn't sleep at all last night. I decided to go to work today knowing that I woulden't be able to call or see my son. It was a really long day. I think what made it long was everyone asking how I was and hugging me and telling me "he'll be ok" honestly I got tired of talking about it. Does that sound awful?

Hi Caryn,

Thank you for the friend request.  My son is currently on a plane to GL.  Maybe they'll be in the same division.  I can't wait for the "I'm here" call.  He's been posting pictures from the plane on his Facebook, that I kind of don't feel too out of touch with him yet :)

Jackie
