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 son is in Ship 7 Div 188. Have you gotten letters or phone calls. I got one letter last Thursday that he wrote on the 14th.

Happy Birthday to your son! It must be hard with him away on his birthday. My son will be 20 in July.....don't know where he will be at that time. I guess these are some of the hard times with them being away.

Wonder what the difference is between say a 180 number and a 900 number?

Permalink Reply by JessicaB-Sailor Mom on April 14, 2011 at 7:47pm

Gail....the 800 divisions are the Special Ops, Seals, Intell, Divers, etc...the 900 divisons are the performers...music, singing, and often have high ASVAB scores, carry a flag (stick) as well as help behind the scenes.
