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."

Comment by Kelly L. on September 4, 2010 at 11:05pm: Thanks for clearing that up for me.. I was so confused and I didn't want to offend her by questioning it.

Comment by diannep on September 4, 2010 at 11:04pm: Dyl'sMom: I was thinking the same thing: water=sailor, land=soldier, even though we know that sailors are on the land as well.

Comment by diannep on September 4, 2010 at 11:03pm: nicole: They probably will start calling early afternoon on Thurs.
M&G is 6-8 at Ramada.

Comment by Dyl's Mom 943 on September 4, 2010 at 11:02pm: Hi Kelly! I looked it up on the computer and it says: •A soldier is a member of the land component of national armed forces*. So I take it that if they are land forces they are soldiers and sea/ocean/waterway forces would be sailor. It's a guess anyway.....

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on September 4, 2010 at 11:01pm: Kelly - I'm not positive, but they're considered as ALL as "troops" and as soldiers for army. airmen for airforce. and sailors for navy.
marines i am not sure of, nor coast guard.

Comment by diannep on September 4, 2010 at 11:00pm: She will be a SAILOR! Soldiers, sailors, we love em all for what they are to us!

Comment by nicole~a sailors girl(: on September 4, 2010 at 11:00pm: proud navy mom - it's confirmed that 307 has BS wednesday? and what time are they expected to call??
4:00 pm central?

I hope so!
GOSH. CONGRATS 943.
THATS SUCH AN HONOR!!
Cannot wait to meet all of you...
Now..I won't have a ribbon..or a tag on..but I will wear something BRIGHT.
Watch out for an Aqua Blue long sleeved shirt, that will probably be me!!:)
I also may possibly be wearing a "United Township Panthers" Hoodie, it will be gray, if it is cold. What time does M&G start again??

Comment by Kelly L. on September 4, 2010 at 10:58pm: Question for all of you.. Army Navy Air Force Marines... are they all Soldiers..
I was in the AIr Nat'l Guard long time ago.. and I was referred to as Airman, but we are soldiers. Soldiers fight, protect, rescue.. help.. Airman is the branch I am in.. Because I told my Navy daughter.. that I was proud of her. That is going to be a tuff soldier.. etc... in my letters to her, and she sent me a letter "correcting" me that she is not s soldier, she a Sailor. She said that they are not soliders.. !!! Am I missing something?

Comment by GM MSRON mom on September 4, 2010 at 10:55pm: Congrats 943! hooyah!!
We are almost there!! No letters here since Monday, and she was writing everyother day. I'm guessing she is "focusing".
Tea- That could be a challenge!

Comment by teaparty24-ship9div302 on September 4, 2010 at 10:51pm: Patsproudmom-that's a great letter! What a joy! I'm so glad God allowed you the opportunity to support this young man!
