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."

Ship 03, Div 155 anyone?

I have not been doing much of anything these last few days but mope and check online. I have read everything on this site since I found it, just about 5 days ago. Why I haven't made the search earlier, I don't know. It would have made his leaving for BC less traumatic. But then again, I have been in denial until we exchanged our goodbye hugs on Monday...

I would love to hear from others whose loved ones share the same ship/div. Mine will go to Nuke school later on and I'm so hungry for more news and info.
