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."

Sorry I just checked my email. My call came the 6th around 4 pm. We only got to talk for about 10 minutes. He said he might get another call this coming week if they pass inspection

Got a letter today. Our SRs will be able to write Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday. If they pass the next 2 inspections they will get a 30 minute call every Saturday after!! Yeah!

Tuesday into Wednesday for my SR div 212 ship 12. They will become Sailors on July 4th, How cool is that?

Very surprised at that date. Holidays are "non-training" days and July 4th is a huge one. But I suggest that you all have phones handy the day before, just in case.
