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."

Thanks, Jessicasmom. So....those of you in 209/210 who are traveling on Thurs will need to set your cell voicemail to greet your sailors if you might be in flight for the "I'm a Sailor" call. Ask that your sailor call back numerous times to leave messages so you have lots to listen to when you get off the plane. I have put 209/210 on the schedule up top.

Any clue when 205 will be doing battlestations?

Permalink Reply by diannep on June 3, 2011 at 7:37am

Could be Mon with 203/204 or Tues. We get our info from your SRs so be sure to ask and then post!

Will you update other DIV when you hear??

Yes, but remember...I get my info from you all. So ask your SRs when their BattleStations is and post. Remember, if they say "I'll call you on (date)" that is the I'm a Sailor call and it is on the day AFTER BattleStations start (overnight drill beginning in the evening). So be sure to give me the start date for them!

I just got a letter from my SR, Div 205, who said his Battle Stations were on 06/14!

Thanks, Mommabee; I'll put it up top along with 206.
