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."

We are a 943 family and still nothing- all phones on- I even forward my office phone to my cell just going to the restroom! I'm just worried I'll have fire-hose tears when we get the call and I'll be a mess! LOL!!! We have a bottle of champagne and blue glasses at home to raise a cheer!!! Praying it all goes well- our recruit has glasses and that always worries me thinking about the USS Trayer flooding/pipe spray damage control tests. P.S. Please always forgive me for saying "our recruit". Just practicing OPSEC.

I watched the Last Ship on television last night and then heard two of her favorite songs this morning so I knew it was going to be very soon that I would hear from her. The past week I had been answering any call remotely close to Illinois and today I kept my phone with me every moment EXCEPT for one. When I came back to my office, one of my co-workers said your phone rang...my heart stopped; I KNEW it was her before I even saw the NE number. I panicked...tried to call the number and of course being a calling card it wasn't possible. My co-workers were watching me fill with intense emotion as I just sat looking at my phone willing it to ring or vibrate...seemed an eternity but it did and it was her! We had such a good talk She was so excited to be eating Cheetos, a Monster Drink, and a Snickers!! She was very emotional after Battlestations. Just two and a WU till PIR!!! Can't wait to see everyone.
