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 CLAMOM on March 2, 2013 at 3:59pm: Carebear77630 I'm with you!!! We need to get the word to those clowns in Washington!!!! I'm just sick to my stomach !!!

Comment by carebear77630@yahoo.com on March 1, 2013 at 10:13pm: Ok i believe in some cuts but all these cuts to our military POs me!!!!! i want a strong ready America----------! my daddy faught in WW2 he was a medic on the front lines in Normandy he wouldnt believe the crap thats going on in washington. congress house and senate need to grow up! I am so scared we are loosing our great country! i am from the red state of Texas im ashamed of the Democrats and yes the republicans and our President! their i said it. have a blessed weekend all and please pray for our country and our military...they need it more than ever*

Comment by meagan5220 on February 18, 2013 at 10:08pm: Same here! She messaged me before that one too! I feel so bad for her! there is no reason he should be going back out! Its ridiculous! I agree our defense spending needs to cut back but in other ways. They waste millions!!! Or the hundreds of thousands of dollars in scrap metal they throw away. Why not reuse that or sell it to a scrap yard? I always tell Michael if I was in charge of the Navy for a few years we would be saving money every year. Then we can use that to help our sailors out! Ugh... my soapbox!!! lol

Comment by carebear77630@yahoo.com on February 18, 2013 at 8:25pm: Sick to our stomachs are we!!

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on February 18, 2013 at 5:43pm: Meagan, I'm just glad they got more notice ths time. He had gotten a three day notice to go with the Truman but they canceled that deployment. We all need to be writing, calling and emailing our US Representatives and tell them to stop Obama from destroying our military! especially the Navy, they are getting hit the hardest! Our country's safety is more important tan some of the other foolishness they spend money on! I'll step off my soapbox now. lol

Comment by meagan5220 on February 18, 2013 at 2:38pm: The sailors will still get paid as of now. they will send them to other ships if needed, or they will work on getting the ship ready for the drydock for the future. They just dont have money for the overhaul. So they wont move over to the shipyards because they cant pay the company. There wont be a 20% pay cut as of now. the pay cut that is propsed is actually just not as big of a raise as it was supposed to be. In Jan 2014 all servicemembers are supposed to get a 1.7% raise, now they are proposing a .7% raise instead. Kim I was so sad for her when I heard. :( She messaged me about it the other day!

Comment by nicks stepmonster on February 18, 2013 at 1:56pm: I agree with Kim, eventually each sailor will have duty and get paid his regular salary. It just takes time.

Comment by nicks stepmonster on February 18, 2013 at 1:52pm: I wasn't aware of "no money"...my son was also on the Lincoln and now dry docked but he is receiving his pay.

Comment by Kim (Ethan's Mom) on February 18, 2013 at 10:27am: They will put them to work doing something. It's sad that our sailors are even in a situation that we have to ask this question. I have a Navy wife friend whose hubby is assigned to the Roosevelt. (they have also quit working on that carrier now) He went out with the Lincoln last deployment and is leaving soon with the Enterprise. They get their sea duty in and perform their jobs even if it's on a different ship.
